WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
Brake fluid level warning/Parking Brake
Indicator light
This light operates under two conditions with
the ignition switch turned to the "ON"
position, 1) When the parking brake is
engaged, 2) when the fluid in the brake fluid
reservoir falls below the specified level. The
light should go out after starting the engine
and fully releasing the parking brake, if the
fluid in the brake fluid reservoir is adequate.
If the light does not go off or comes on
whilst you are driving, it may mean that
there is something wrong with the vehicle's
braking system. If this happens, you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.

Remember that stopping distance may
be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.

2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.

4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
w w w w w WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
your MARUTI dealer to inspect the
brake system.
• If the brake fluid level warning light
does not go out after the engine
has been started and the parking
brake has been fully released.
• If the brake fluid level warning light
does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position
with the parking brake applied.
• If the brake fluid level warning light
comes on at any time during vehicle
operation.
NOTE:
Because the disc brake system is self
adjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn.
Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is
considered normal periodic maintenance.
Oil Pressure Light
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is turned on, and goes out when the engine
is started. The light will come on and remain
on if there is insufficient oil pressure. If the
light comes on when driving, pull off the
road as soon as you can and stop the
engine. Check the oil level and add oil if
necessary (see pages 9-7 and 9-8). If there
is enough oil, the lubrication system should
be inspected by your MARUTI dealer before
you drive the vehicle again.
