When Encountering a
Flooded Area
77PM04011
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep
puddle. If driving in a flooded area is
unavoidable, go slowly in the lowest gear.
In case that you have driven in a flooded
area, stop the vehicle in a safe and non
flooded place while checking the brake
effectiveness. Then, ask a Maruti Suzuki
authorised workshop to check the follow-
ing inspection items.
• Function of brake
• Function of electrical components
NOTICE
• When driving on wet roads, avoid
driving through large amount of
standing water on the road. Large
amount of water entering the
engine compartment may cause
damage to the engine and or elec-
trical components.
• If stuck in deep water, do not start
till water level drops.
• Water is incompressible substance,
water inside engine is harmful to
the engine.

WARNING
In addition to following the driving
tips in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions.
• Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
• Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres
on the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the Tyre Information
Label located on the driver’s door
lock pillar.
• Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to
raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteris -
tics. Oversized tyres may also rub
against the vehicle body over
bumps, causing vehicle damage or
tyre failure.
• After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If they are
less effective than normal, dry them
by repeatedly applying the brakes
while driving slowly until the brakes
have regained their normal effec -
tiveness.
