WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

70F-07-070

Brake fluid level warning/Parking Brake
Indicator light
This light operates under three conditions:

1) when the ignition switch is turned to the

"START' position, 2) when the fluid in the brake
fluid reservoir falls below the specified level
or 3) when the parking brake is not fully

released and the ignition switch is in the "ON"
position. 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.

Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.

or
4)

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 "START"
position.

• 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 9-8 and 9-9). If there
is enough oil, the lubrication system should
be inspected by your MARUTI dealer before
you drive the vehicle again.
