Keep passenger and luggage compart-
ments clean
Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate
under the floor mats and may cause corro-
sion. Occasionally, check under these
mats to ensure that this area is clean and
dry. More frequent checks are necessary if
the vehicle is used for off-road driving or in
wet weather.
Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz-
ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor-
rosive by nature. These products should
be transported in sealed containers. If they
are spilled or leaked, clean and dry the
area immediately.
Park your vehicle in a dry, well-venti-
lated area
Park your vehicle to save it from continu-
ous exposure to direct sunlight. Do not
park your vehicle in a damp, poorly-venti-
lated area. If you often wash your vehicle
in the garage and place it there in wet con-
dition, your garage may be damp. The high
humidity in the garage may cause or accel-
erate corrosion. A wet vehicle may corrode
even in a heated garage if the ventilation is
poor.
Cleaning Exterior
For Keeping the Paintwork Beauti-
ful
To keep your vehicle’s beautiful appear-
ance for a long term, daily care is import-
ant.
• For parking and storing the vehicle, we
recommend garages with good ventila-
tion and locations with roofs.
• The following situations may cause rust-
ing and discoloration of the paint. Wash
your vehicle promptly.
– When driving in coastal areas or on
roads sprayed with antifreeze agent
(Wash the underside of the vehicle
and around the wheel wells especially)
– When bird droppings, dead insects,
sap, iron dust, soot or smoke residue,
coal tar, etc., adhere to the paint or
when the vehicle gets wet with acid
rain
– When the vehicle is dirty with dust or
mud
• Give the vehicle a wax about once a
month or whenever the water-repelling
ability of the painted surfaces has
declined. Follow all instructions on the
package of the wax (sold separately).
NOTE:
Do not use wax on plastic parts that are
not coated. Waxing these surfaces could
result in a whitened or uneven appear-
ance.

• Chips from flying rocks, scratches, etc.
can cause rust. Repair these areas as
soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or
around exhaust system components
such as the catalytic converter and
the exhaust pipes. It may catch a fire
if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
NOTICE
• When repairing scratches on
painted surfaces, consult a Maruti
Suzuki authorised workshop. Using
an inappropriate material for repair
could cause damage to the paint.
• It is important that your vehicle be
kept clean and free from dirt. Fail-
ure to keep your vehicle clean may
result in fading of the paint or cor-
rosion to various parts of the vehi-
cle body.
