INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
fied for your vehicle. For the specified
spark plugs, refer to the "SPECIFI-
CATIONS" section at the end of this
book. It is recommended to trust this
job on your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
EXAMPLE
NOTE:
If your engine is equipped with the high-
tension cord type ignition wiring and you
experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, misfire
etc., the cause may be located not only on
spark plugs but also on deteriorated ignition
wirings (generally, used for more than 80000
km or five years). If spark plug replacement
does not solve the problem, have the
9-13
ignition wiring and other ignition system
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

Gear Oil Level Check

(1)
Oil filler and level plug
(for petrol engine model)
(2)
Oil filler and level plug
(for diesel engine model)
To check the gear oil level, use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop the
engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your fin-
ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) until
the oil level reaches the bottom of the
filler hole, then reinstall the plug.
