Luggage compartment cover (if equipped)
75RM013
Luggage or other cargo placed in the lug-
gage compartment is hidden from view by
a luggage compartment cover.
Roof rails (if equipped)
75RM185
You can use the roof rails to attach the
optional roof rack which is available at your
SUZUKI dealer. If you use a roof rack,
observe the instructions and precautions in
this section and provided with the roof
rack.
• Check that the roof rack is securelyinstalled.
• To mount various types of cargo (such
as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-
able attachments which are available at
your SUZUKI dealer. Install the attach-
ments properly and securely according
to the instructions provided. Do not
mount cargo directly on the roof panel.
The cargo can damage the roof panel. • The gross weight of the roof rack plus
cargo must not exceed the loading
capacity.
– Roof rails: 50 kg (110 lbs)
Also, do not let the gross vehicle weight
(fully loaded vehicle including driver,
passengers, cargo, roof load and trailer
tongue weight) exceed the Gross Vehi-
cle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in the
“SPECIFICATIO NS” section.
• Mount and secure the cargo onto the roof rack properly according to the
instructions provided. Stow the heaviest
items at the bottom and distribute the
cargo as evenly as possible.
• Do not carry large items that hang over the bumpers or the sides of the vehicle.
Otherwise, these items could block your
view.
• Secure the front and rear ends of long
items such as wood panels and surf-
boards, to both the front and rear of the
vehicle. You should protect the painted
surfaces of the vehicle from scuffing
caused by tie-down ropes.
• Check periodically that the roof rack is
securely installed and free from damage.
WA R N I N G
Do not carry items on top of the lug-
gage compartment cover, even if they
are small and light. Objects on top of
the cover could be thrown about in
an accident, causing injury, or could
obstruct the driver’s rear view.EXAMPLE

bit starts, sharp turns, fast corner-
ing and sudden braking. Check
periodically that cargo is securely

caught by the wind, and can reduce
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent and personal injury. Drive cau-
tiously at a safely reduced speed
when carrying this type of cargo.
