2020 SUZUKI JIMNY Service gear

NOTE: If you refuel when the ignition switch is "ON", the driving range may not indicate the correct value. When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of driving range will be shown after driving for a period of time.
Average speed If you selected average speed the last time you drove the vehicle, the display indicates the last value of average speed from previ­ous driving when the ignition switch is turned "ON". Unless you reset the value of average speed, the display indicates the value of average speed which includes average speed during previous driving.
To reset the value of average speed, push and hold the indicator selector knob (3) for a while when the display indicates an aver­age speed. The display shows "---" and then indicates a new average speed after driving for a short time.
NOTE: When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average speed will be shown after driving for a period of time.
Driving time The display shows the total amount of driv­ing time since the indication was reset. To reset the driving time, push and hold the indicator selector knob (3) for a while when the display shows the driving time.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or recon­nect the terminals to the lead-acid bat­tery, the driving time will be shown after driving for a while. The indicated maximum value of driving time is 99:59:59. No more than the maxi­mum value will be indicated on the dis­play until you reset the driving time.
Gearshift indicator
The display (D) shows the gearshift indica­tor.
Refer to "Gearshift indicator" in "OPERAT­ING YOUR VEHICLE" section.
BEFORE DRIVING
Trip meter
The display (E) shows the trip meter.
The trip meter can be used to measure the distance traveled on short trips or between fuel stops. You can use trip meter A or trip meter B independently.
To reset the trip meter, push and hold the trip meter selector knob (2) for a while.
NOTE: The indicated maximum value of the trip meter is 9999.9. When you run past the maximum value, the indicated value will return to 0.0.
Odometer
The display (F) shows the odometer.
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
NOTICE
Keep track of your odometer reading and check the maintenance sched­ule regularly for required services. Increased wear or damage to certain parts can result from failure to per­form required services at the proper mileage intervals.

A WARNING
Your vehicle should be handled in a different way when towing a trailer. For the safety of yourself and others, observe the following precautions: Practice turning, stopping, and reversing before you begin towing a trailer in traffic. Do not tow a trailer in traffic until you are confi­dent that you can handle the vehi­cle and trailer safely. Never exceed local towing speed limits or 80 km/h (50 mph), which­ever is lower. Never drive at a speed that causes shaking or swaying of the trailer. If you notice even the slightest sign of shaking or swaying, slow down. • When roads are wet, slippery or rough, drive at a slower speed than you would on dry or smooth roads. Failure to slow down when road conditions are bad can result in loss of control. Always have someone guide you when reversing. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) Always admit greater stopping dis­tance. Stopping distance is increased when you tow a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead. Allow a greater stopping distance if roads are wet or slippery. If the trailer has over-run brakes, apply the brakes gradually to avoid snatching caused by the trailer wheels locking. Slow down before corners and maintain a steady speed while cor­nering. Deceleration or accelera­tion while cornering can result in loss of control. Remember that a larger than normal turning radius is needed because the trailer wheels will go inside than vehicle's wheels. Avoid sudden acceleration and stopping of the vehicle. Do not make quick maneuvers unless they are necessary. Slow down in cross winds and be prepared for gusts of wind from large passing vehicles. (Continued)
BEFORE DRIVING
A WARNING
(Continued) Be careful when overtaking other vehicles. Allow enough room for your trailer before changing lanes, and use turn signal lights properly in advance. Slow down and shift into a lower gear for better engine braking before you reach long or steep downhill grades. It is hazardous to attempt downshifting while you are descending a hill. Do not step on the brake pedal excessively. This could cause the brakes to over-heat resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Use engine braking as much as possi­ble. Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat on hot days when going up long or steep hills. Pay attention to your engine coolant temperature. If it indicates overheating, pull off the road and stop the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to "Engine trouble: Overheating" in "EMERGENCY SERVICE" section.

DRIVING TIPS
Catalytic converter
78RB04003
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle's exhaust. Use of lead".d fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited, because lead deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo­nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte­nance is required on the converter. How­ever, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the catalytic converter. This may result in permanent

heat damage to the catalytic converter and other vehicle components.
NOTICE
To mm,m,ze the possibility of cata­lytic converter or other vehicle dam­age: • Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition. In the event of an engine malfunc­tion, particularly one involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehi­cle serviced promptly. • Do not turn off the engine or inter­
rupt the ignition when the t(ans~i~­sion is in gear and the vehicle 1s m motion. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle, or coasting down a hill. Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as during diagnos­tic testing. • Do not idle the vehicle for pro­longed periods if idling seems rough or there are other malfunc­tions. Do not allow the fuel tank to get near the empty level.
A. WARNING
Be careful where you park and drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system.
