IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY
Be careful where you park and drive;
the catalytic converter and other
exhaust components can get very hot.
As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact
with a hot exhaust system.

The following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling:
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a cold
engine, allow the engine to idle until the
temperature gauge pointer comes up to the
“C” position. In this position, the engine is
sufficiently warm for starting off.
Avoid “fast” starts:
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten
engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops:
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and
stopping. Try to maintain a slow, steady
speed whenever possible. Slowing down
and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed:
Keep as constant a speed as road and
traffic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean:
A dirty air cleaner will cause the carburation
system to supply too much fuel to the
engine for the amount of air being supplied.
The result is waste of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.
Keep weight to a minimum:
The heavier the load, the more fuel the
vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or
cargo when it is not necessary.
Keep tyre pressures correct:
Under-inflation of the tyres can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the label on the driver’s
side door or door lock pillar.
TRAILER TOWING
Your MARUTI was originally designed to
carry people and a normal amount of cargo,
not to tow a trailer. Maruti does not
recommend you use your vehicle to tow a
trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely affect
handling, durability, and fuel economy.
