Using compressor to inflate a tire1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.
Set the parking brake firmly and shift
into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has a
CVT, or shift into “R” (Reverse) if your
vehicle has a manual transaxle or Auto
Gear Shift.
2) Take out the compressor.
3) Unscrew the valve cap from the tire valve.
4) Connect the air ho se of the compressor
to the tire valve.
5) Connect the power plug of the com- pressor to the accessory socket. For a
manual transaxle or an Auto Gear Shift
vehicle, shift from “R” (Reverse) into “N”
(Neutral). Start the engine. Switch on
the compressor. Inflate the tire to the
required air pressure.
Jump-starting instructions
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to
jump-start your vehicle. Position the
good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to
your vehicle so that the jump leads will
reach both batteries. When using a bat-
tery installed on another vehicle, check
that two vehicles do not touch each
other. Set the parking brakes fully on
both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
NOTICE
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes. It can cause
overheating of the compressor.
WA R N I N G
• Never attempt to jump-start your
vehicle if the lead-acid battery
appears to be frozen. Batteries in
this condition may explode.
• When making jump lead connec- tions, check that your hands and
the jump leads remain clear from
pulleys, belts or fans.
• Lead-acid batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames
and sparks away from the battery
or an explosion may occur. Never
smoke when working near the bat-
tery.
• If the booster ba ttery you use for
jump-starting is installed in another
vehicle, check that the two vehicles
are not touching each other.
• If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
• To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump-starting instructions
below.
If you are in doubt, call for qualified
road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by
pushing or towing. This starting
method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter.
Use jump leads to start a vehicle with
a weak or flat battery.

3) Connect jump leads as follows:1. Connect one end of the first jumplead to the positive (+) terminal of
the flat battery (1).
2. Connect the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
(2).
3. Connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative (–) terminal of
the booster battery (2).
4. Make the final connection to an unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mount bracket (3)) of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery (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 exact reverse order in which you connected
them.
TowingIf you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional service. Your dealer
can provide you with detailed towing

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump l ead to the engine
mount bracket securely. If the jump
lead disconnects from the engine
mount bracket because of vibration
at the start of the engine, the jump
lead could be caught in the drive
belts.
WA R N I N G
For vehicles equipped with the dual
camera brake support, if your vehicle
is towed with the engine on, press

ment and towing procedures must
be used.

Shift vehicles may be towed using either of
the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheelslifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, check that the
parking brake is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and the front wheels on the
ground, provided the steering and
drivetrain are in operational condition.
Before towing, check that transaxle is in
neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked
(vehicle without keyl ess push start sys-
tem - the ignition key should be in
“ACC” position) (vehicle with keyless
push start system - the ignition mode is
ACC), and the steering wheel is
secured with a clamping device
designed for towing service.
4-wheel drive (4WD)Your vehicle should be towed under one of
the following conditions:
1) With all four wheels on a flat-bed truck.
2) With the front or rear wheels lifted and a dolly under the other wheels.
NOTICE
Towing your vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground can result in
damage to the CVT.
NOTICE
The steering column is not strong
enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the fr ont wheels during
towing. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever to the “N” position,
always check the gear position indi-
cator 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 or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
ON, and move the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever from “N” to “D”, “M”
or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then
turn the key from the “ON” to the
“LOCK” position or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF). These procedures may
help put the transaxle in neutral. If
the transaxle still cannot be put in
neutral, you cannot tow the vehicle
without using a towing dolly.
