(For models with front passenger air bag
deactivation system)
Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
• If you must install the child restraint sys-
tem on the front passe nger’s seat, follow
instructions below.
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front air bag by the front passenger air bag
deactivation system.
– Slide the seat to t he most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatba ck at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) w ith the seatback
angle adjustment lever. – If your vehicle is equipped with the
seat height adjustment lever, raise the
seat to the uppermost position by the
seat height adjustment lever.
Install your child restraint system accord-
ing to the instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
Check that the seat belt is securely
latched.
Move the child restraint system in all direc-
tions to check that it is securely installed.
When you put your child in the child
restraint system, appr opriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
CAUTION
Adjust the height of the rear head
restraint or remove it for fitting the
child restraint, as necessary. How-
ever, if a booster cushion not
equipped with the head restraint is
fitted, the rear seat head restraint
should not be removed. If the rear
head restraint is removed for fitting
the child restraint, you need to install
it again after removing the child
restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improp-
erly, a child sitting in it could be
injured in a crash.

Installation of child restraint with top tether
75RM105
Some child restraint systems require the
use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchor-
age brackets are provided in your vehicle at
the locations shown in the illustrations.
The number of the top tether anchorage
brackets provided in your vehicle depends
on the vehicle specification. Install the child
restraint system as follows:
1) Remove the luggage compartment cover
(if equipped).2) Secure the child restraint on the rear
seat using the procedure described
above for securing a restraint system
that does not require a top tether strap.
3) Hook the top tether strap to the top tether anchorage bracket and tighten
the top tether strap according to the
instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer. Attach
the top tether strap to the correspond-
ing top tether anchorage bracket
located directly behind the child
restraint. Do not attach the top tether
strap to the luggage restraint loops (if
equipped).

6-1VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
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
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 (including
all the occupants, accessories and cargo
plus the trailer nose weight if towing a
trailer).
PAW (front and rear) – Maximum permissi-
ble 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 axle
exceeds these ratings, you must remove
enough weight to bring the load down to
the rated capacity.
Trailer towing
60A185
While towing a trailer can adversely affect
handling, durability and fuel economy. Your
vehicle can be used to tow a trailer which
does not exceed the towing capacity spec-
ified below:
Maximum towing capacity
(trailer, cargo & tow bar)
Braked trailer: 1000 kg (2205 lbs)
Unbraked trailer: 400 kg (882 lbs)
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer
nose weight 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 Permissible maximum
Axle Weight (PAW).
WA R N I N G
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 for-
ward in the cargo area as possible.
Never pile cargo higher than the top
of the seat backs.
