A WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual sensor brake support, if your vehicle is towed with the engine on, press dual sensor brake support OFF switch and turn off the dual sensor brake support. If not, accidents related to the system being turned on may occur.
NOTICE
Observe the following instructions when towing your vehicle. To help avoid damage to your vehi­cle during towing, proper equip­ment and towing procedures must be used. • Using the frame hook, tow your vehicle on paved roads for short distances at low speed.
Before towing
78RB08008
If you tow your vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, shift the transmis­sion into Neutral and make sure the 4WD indicator on the instrument cluster comes on when you use the transfer lever to shift into 4-wheel drive high range position ("4H") and goes off when you use the transfer lever to shift into 2-wheel high drive position ("2H") with the engine run­ning. If the 4WD indicator does not come on or it does not go off, that means, the air­locking hubs cannot be locked or unlocked, the vehicle must be towed with the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels on a dolly.

Towing a Disabled Vehicle
If your vehicle is disabled, and if the steer­ing and drive train are in good condition (and the engine can be started for 4WD vehicles), the vehicle can be towed according to the instructions in this section. Your vehicle may also be towed by a tow truck with the front or rear wheels lifted, according to the instructions below.

Rear wheels lifted Your vehicle may be towed by a tow truck with the rear wheels lifted and the front wheels on the ground. Towing speed should not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).
For this type of towing: 1) Shift the manual transmission to Neu­tral or the automatic transmission to "P" position and start the. engine. 2) Shift the transfer lever to 2WD position ("2H"). 3) Make sure the 4WD indicator on the instrument cluster is turned off.
NOTICE
If the air-locking hubs cannot be unlocked, tow the vehicle with the rear wheels lifted and a dolly under the front wheels.
4) Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" posi­tion to stop the engine and to unlock the steering wheel.
NOTICE
The steering column lock is not strong enough to withstand shocks transmitted from the front wheels during towing.
5) Make sure the front wheels are facing straight forward and secure the steering wheel with a steering wheel clamping device designed for towing service.

Engine trouble: Starter does
not operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to "START" position with the headlights turned on to determine the lead-acid battery condition. If the headlights go excessively dim or go off, it usually means that either the lead-acid battery is discharged or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or correct battery terminal con­tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi­cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Does not start
Make sure that your vehicle has enough · fuel and battery. If the engine does not start under very cold condition, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor and hold it while crank­ing the engine. Refer to "Starting engine" in operating your vehicle section. If the engine still does not start have your vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer. Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating or the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates over­heating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off or the indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between "H" and "C".
A WARNING
If you see or hear escaping steam, stop the vehicle in a safe place and immediately turn off the engine to cool it. Do not open the hood when steam is present. When the steam can no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until it stops boiling before you proceed.
7-10

EMERGENCY SERVICE
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off or the tem­perature indication does not come down to within the normal, acceptable range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are not damaged or slipping. If any abnormality is found, correct it. 2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than "LOW" line, check radiator, water pump, radia­tor hoses and heater hoses for leakage. If leakage that may cause overheating is found, do not run the engine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If leakage is not found, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to "Engine coolant" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN­TENANCE" section.)
NOTE: If engine overheats and you are not sure what to do, contact a SUZUKI dealer.

A WARNING
• It is hazardous to remove the radia­tor cap when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. The cap should only be taken off when the coolant tem­perature has lowered. To help prevent personal injury, keep hands, tools and clothing away from the engine cooling fan and air-conditioner fan. These elec­tric fans can automatically turn on without warning.
