Improving Fuel Economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minutewhile you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idleor apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid “fast” starts Fast starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily andshorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop- ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and thenaccelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Keep as constant a speed as road and traf- fic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
60A183S
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging catalyst or othervehicle damage:• Maintain the engine in the properoperating condition.• In the event of an engine malfunc-tion, particularly one involving engine misfiring or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehi-cle serviced promptly.• Do not turn off the engine or inter-rupt the ignition when the transaxleis in gear and the vehicle is in motion.• Do not try to start the engine bypushing or towing the vehicle, orcoasting down a hill.• Do not idle the engine with anyspark plug wires disconnected orremoved, such as during diagnos- tic testing.• Do not idle the vehicle for pro-longed periods if idling seemsrough or there are other malfunc-tions.• Do not allow the fuel tank to getnear the empty level.• Avoid driving your vehicle atexcessively high engine speed inor around the red zone of thetachometer (if equipped).
WA R N I N G
Be careful in areas where you parkand drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such asdry grass or leaves can come in con- tact with a hot exhaust system.

Vehicle Loading
Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities ofyour vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW,front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA- TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (includingall the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permis- sible 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 vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehi- cle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
Trailer Towing
Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originallydesigned to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MAR- UTI SUZUKI does not recommend you useyour vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Towing Your Vehicle
Your vehicle may be towed behind anothervehicle (such as a motorhome), providedyour vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method speci- fied for your vehicle. The towing methodyou must use depends on the specifica- tions of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shiftvehicle.
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 towingequipment designed for recreational tow- ing and make sure that towing speed does not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. Thegross vehicle weight (sum of theweights of the vehicle, all the occu- pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) mustnever exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that theweight on either th e front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).
WA R N I N G
Always distribute cargo evenly. Toavoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehiclemoves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far for- ward in the cargo area as possible.Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.
WA R N I N G
When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid acci-dents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe govern- ment and local requirements regard-ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.
