VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
Vehicle LoadingYour vehicle was designed for specific weight
capacities. The weight capacities of your
vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR, front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR (front and rear) are listed
in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight
of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the
occupants, accessories and cargo plus the
trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).
GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-
missible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual
loads at the front and rear axles can only be
determined by weighing the vehicle. Compare
these weights to the GVWR and GAWR (front
and rear). If the gross vehicle weight or the
load on either axle exceeds these ratings, you
must remove enough weight to bring the load
down to the rated capacity.
w ww w
w WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to your
vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent
it from shifting if the vehicle moves
suddenly. Place heavier objects on the
floor and as far forward in the cargo
area as possible. Never pile cargo
higher than the top of the seat backs.
w ww w
w WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The gross
vehicle weight (sum of the weights of
the vehicle, all the occupants,
accessories, cargo plus trailer nose
V VV V

w WARNING
V VV V
Vweight if towing a trailer) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR). In addition, never
distribute a load so that the weight on
either the front or rear axle exceeds
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).Trailer TowingYour MARUTI SUZUKI was originally
designed to carry people and a normal
amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer. MARUTI
SUZUKI does not recommend you use your
vehicle to tow a trailer if there is not any local
regulation about towing capacity permitted (for
example, registered or statutory towing
capacity). Towing a trailer can adversely affect
handling, durability, and fuel economy.When you tow your vehicle, follow the
instructions below to avoid accidents
and damage to your vehicle. In addition,
be sure to observe government and
local requirements regarding vehicle
lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.
w ww w
w WARNING
Towing Your VehicleYour vehicle may be towed behind another
Vehicle (such as a motorhome), provided
you use the proper towing method specified
for your vehicle. The towing method you
must use depends on the specifications of
your vehicle: whether it is a manual
transmission vehicle or an automatic
transmission vehicle.
Use the towing instruction table to select the
proper towing method for your vehicle, and
carefully follow the corresponding
instructions. Be sure to use proper towing
equipment designed for recreational towing
and make sure that towing speed does not
exceed 90 km/h.
w ww w
w WARNING
A safety chain should always be used
when you tow your vehicle.

You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few pre-
cautions that you should be especially
careful to observe:
To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system be
sure the battery is disconnected and
the ignition switch has been in the
“LOCK” position for at least 90
seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your
vehicle. Do not touch air bag sys-
tem components and wires. The
wires are wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow tubing, and the couplers
are yellow for easy identification.
