CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tires and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tires and
wheel alignment checked periodically
by your SUZUKI dealer.
WARNING
Your SUZUKI is equipped with tires
which are all the same type and
size. This is important to ensure
proper steering and handling of the
vehicle. Never mix tires of different
size or type on the four wheels of
your vehicle. The size and type of
tires used should be only those
approved by SUZUKI as standard
or optional equipment for your
vehicle.
Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tires can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your SUZUKI dealer
before purchasing replacement tires
that differ in size from the original
tires.

6) Position the jack at an angle as shown
in the illustration and raise the jack by
turning the jack handle clockwise until
the jack-head groove fits around the
jacking bar beneath the vehicle body.
7) Continue to raise the jack slowly and
smoothly until the tire clears the
ground. Do not raise the vehicle more
than necessary.
To Raise the Vehicle with a Garage Jack
Apply the garage jack to one of the
points indicated below.
Always support the raised vehicle with
jack stands (commercially available) at
the points indicated below.
WARNING
Use the jack only to change wheels
on level, hard ground.
Never jack up the vehicle on an
inclined surface.
Never raise the vehicle with the
jack in a location other than the
specified jacking point (shown in
the illustration) near the wheel to
be changed.
Especially, do not raise the vehicle
with a jack at a part of the torsion
beam which is located under the
vehicle body, between rear wheels.
Make sure that the jack is raised at
least 51 mm (2 inches) before it
contacts the flange. Use of the jack
when it is within 51 mm (2 inches)
of being fully collapsed may result
in failure of the jack.
No person should place any por-
tion of their body under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
Never run the engine when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
and never allow passengers to
remain in the vehicle.

60MH074
When installing the cover, make sure that it
is positioned so that it does not cover or
foul the air valve.
WARNING
Be sure to shift into “P” (Park) in
automatic transaxle, or shift into
“R” (Reverse) in manual transaxle
when you jack up the vehicle.
Never jack up the vehicle with the
transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Other-
wise, unstable jack may cause an
accident.
WARNING
Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten
them to the specified torque as soon
as possible after changing wheels.
