are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires. Also make sure that there is enough clear- ance between the fenders and the chainsas installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly, according to the chain manufacturer’s instructions. Retight en the chains after driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, orsand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transaxle back and forth between a forward range (or first gear formanual transaxle) and reverse. This willcreate a rocking motion which may giveyou enough momentum to free the vehi- cle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spinning to a minimumwheel rpm. Remove your foot from theaccelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheelspin will cause the tires to dig deeper,making it more difficult to free the vehi- cle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull your vehicle out.

Always be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the correct amper- age. Never use a substitute such as aluminum foil or wire to replace ablown fuse. If you replace a fuse and the new one blows in a short period of time, you may have a major electri-cal problem. Have your vehicle inspected immediately by your MAR- UTI SUZUKI dealer.

This is true especially for halogen headlight bulbs.Replace the bulbs after they become cool enough. • The headlight bulbs are filled withpressurized halogen gas. They can burst and injure you if they are hit or dropped. Handle them carefully.
NOTICE
The oils from your skin may cause ahalogen bulb to overheat and burst when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Frequent replacement of a bulb indi-cates the need for an inspection of the electrical system. This should be carried out by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.
