• Never attempt to jump start your vehicle if the battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode or rupture if jumpstarting is attempted. • When making jump lead connec- tions, be certain that your handsand the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts, or fans. • Batteries produce flammablehydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smokewhen working in the vicinity of the battery. • If the booster battery you use forjump starting is installed in another vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not touching each other.• If your battery discharges repeat- edly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicl e or battery, fol- low the jump starting instructions below precisely and in order. If you are in doubt, call for qualifiedroad service.

Connect one end of the second jumplead to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery (2). 4. Make the final connection to anunpainted, heavy metal part (i.e. engine mount bracket (3)) of the engine of the vehicle with the flatbattery (1).
4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the
engine of the vehicle with the booster battery. Run the engine at moderate speed.5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery. 6) Remove the jump leads in the exactreverse order in which you connected them.
Towing
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional service. Your dealercan provide you with detailed towing instructions.
2-Wheel Drive (2WD) Manual Tran- saxle or Auto Gear ShiftManual transaxle vehicles or Auto Gear Shift vehicles may be towed using either of the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels on the ground. Before towing, make sure thatthe parking brake is released. 2) From the rear, with the rear wheels lifted and the front wheels on theground, provided the steering and drivetrain are in operational condition. Before towing, make sure that transaxleis in neutral, the steering wheel is
unlocked (the ignition key should be in the “ACC” position), and the steering wheel is secured with a clampingdevice designed for towing service.
WA R N I N G
Never connect the jump lead directlyto the negative (–) terminal of the dis- charged battery, or an explosion may occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump le ad to the engine mount bracket securely. If the jump lead disconnects from the engine mount bracket because of vibrationat the start of the engine, the jump lead could be caught in the drive belts.
NOTICE
To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shiftlever to the “N” position, always check the gear position indicator in the instrument cluster shows the “N”position to make sure that the transaxle is disengaged. If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position, and move the Auto Gear Shift lever from “N” to “D”,“M” or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then turn the key from the “ON” to the “LOCK” position.These procedures may help put the transaxle in neutral. If the transaxle still cannot be put in neutral, you can-not tow the vehicle without using a towing dolly. The steering column is not strongenough to with stand shocks trans- mitted from the fr ont wheels during towing. Always unlock the steeringwheel before towing.
