BEFORE DRIVING
Maximum towing capacity (gross trailer weight; trailer with inte­grated drawbar, and cargo)
Braked trailer: 1300 kg (2866 lbs) Unbraked trailer: 350 kg (772 lbs)
To load your vehicle and trailer properly, you must know how to measure gross trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
78RB02083
(1) Gross trailer weight Gross trailer weight is the weight of the trailer with integrated drawbar plus all the cargo in it. You can measure gross trailer weight by putting the fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
2-73
(2) Permissible nose weight Nose weight is the downward force applied on the towing hitch ball by the trailer coupler, with the trailer fully loaded and the coupler at its normal towing height. This weight can also be measured using a bathroom scale.
The maximum towing capacity listed above(1300kg) is only applicable up to 1 000m above sea level. In high altitude regions above 1 000m, combined weight of the maximum towing capacity (gross trailer weight) and permissible gross vehicle weight (GVWR) must be reduced by 10% for every extra 1 000m.
A WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual sensor brake support, if your vehicle is used to tow a trailer, press the dual sensor brake support OFF switch to turn off the dual sensor brake sup­port. If not, accidents related to the system being turned on may occur.
A CAUTION
When towing by your vehicle equipped with automatic transmis­sion on a long steep uphill, try to take some rest on the way at a safe place to prevent overheat or damage of the engine or transmission.
NOTICE
Trailer towing puts additional stress on the engine, transmission and brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer during the first 1000 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation.

For automatic transmission vehicles, always set the parking brake before mov­ing the gearshift lever to "P" (PARK) posi­tion. If you park on an incline and shift into "P" before setting the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift out of "P" when you are ready to drive the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle, move the gearshift lever out of "P" position before releasing the parking brake.
A WARNING
• Whenever parking, make sure the gearshift lever for manual trans­mission vehicles is in 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) and the gearshift lever for automatic transmission or automatic transmission vehicles is in 11P" {Park). Remember, even though the transmission is in gear or in Park, you must set the parking brake fully. • When parking on an uphill, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels point to the center of the
road. • When parking on a downhill, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels point to the curb. • Never drive your vehicle with the parking brake on: rear brake effec­tiveness can be reduced from overM heating, brake life may be shortened, or permanent brake damage may result. • If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle securely or does not fully release, have your vehicle inspected immediately by a SUZUKI dealer.
