Tow bars
Only use a tow bar that is designed to attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar. We recommend that you use a genuine SUZUKI tow bar kit (available as an option), or equivalent.
A WARNING
Never use a tow bar which attaches to the axle or the bumper of your vehicle.
Safety chains
Always attach safety chains between your vehicle and the trailer. Cross safety chains under the nose of the trailer so that the nose will not drop to the road if the trailer becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol­low the manufacturer's recommendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough slack to permit full turning. Never allow safety chains to drag on the road.
A WARNING
Never attach safety chains to the bumper of your vehicle. Secure con­nections so that they cannot come loose.
-----------------------
Trailer lights
Check that your trailer is equipped with lights which meet local requirements. Always check for the proper operation of all trailer lights before you start to tow.
A WARNING
Never connect trailer lights directly into your vehicle's electrical system, or electrical system damage may occur.
Brakes
A WARNING
If the trailer is equipped with the brakes, follow all instructions pro­vided by the manufacturer. Never connect to the brake system of your vehicle and never take an electrical supply directly from the wiring har­
ness.
BEFORE DRIVING
Tyres
A WARNING
When towing a trailer, it is very important for your vehicle and trailer to have properly inflated tyres. Your vehicle's tyres should be inflated to the pressures listed on your vehicle's tyre information label. The tyres should be inflated to the laden pres­sures. Inflate trailer tyres according to the specifications provided by the trailer manufacturer.
Mirrors
Check if your vehicle's mirrors meet local requirements for mirrors used on towing vehicles. If they do not, you must install the required mirrors before you tow.

Automatic transmission vehicles The gearshift lever must be in "P" (Park) position to turn the key to "LOCK" posi­tion. It locks the ignition and prevents normal use of the steering wheel and gearshift lever.
To release the steering lock, insert the key and turn it clockwise to one of the other positions. If you have trouble turning the key to unlock the steering wheel, try turn­ing the steering wheel slightly to the right or left while turning the key.
ACC Accessories such as the radio can oper­ate, but the engine is off.
ON This is the normal operating position. All electrical systems are on.
START This is the position for starting the engine using the starter motor. The key should be released from this position as soon as the engine starts.
Ignition key reminder A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to remove the ignition key if it is in the ignition switch when the driver's door is opened.

The transmission is a 4-speed (3-speed plus overdrive) automatic transmission. By operating the overdrive off switch, the transmission can be converted to a 3-speed automatic transmission that will not move to the overdrive position. To convert the transmission to the 3-speed mode, push in the overdrive off switch and release it.
To return the transmission to the 4-speed mode, push in the overdrive off switch again:
When the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC" position, the transmission in the 3-speed mode is converted to the 4-speed mode automatically. The 3-speed mode is suitable for the fol­lowing driving conditions: Driving on hilly, winding roads -You can drive more smoothly with less frequent gear changing Going down a steep hill -Some engine braking is provided

Gearshift indicator
(if equipped)
52RM30410
In the following cases, the gearshift indica­tor is indicated in the information display when the ignition switch is in "ON" position. • When the gearshift lever is in a position other than "N" (Neutral). When the transfer lever is in "2H" or "4H" position. For vehicles equipped with the cruise control, when the system is not in use.

The electronic control system monitors driving condition (such as vehicle speed and/or engine revolution), and it shows which gear position is optimal for your driv­ing with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated in the dis­play while driving, we recommend you to shift up or down the gear. It is the optimal gear position for a driving condition that reduces the over revolution and stress to the engine, and improves fuel consump­tion.
For details on how to use the transmission, refer to "Using the transmission" in this sec­tion.
A WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to indicate optimal gear position for your driving, however, a driver will not be relieved from the duty of care of driving operation or gear change with this indicator. To drive safe, do not gaze the gear­shift indicator, pay attention to your driving situation and shift up or down if necessary.
NOTE: The gearshift indicator is not indicated when the gear position is in "N" (Neu­tral). If you depress the clutch pedal while UPI DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication will disappear. In ordinary driving, UP arrow will disap­pear when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal. The indication of gearshift indicator tim­ing may differ depending on the vehicle condition and/or driving situation even in the same vehicle speed and engine rev­
olution. If any of the electrical systems such as dual sensor brake support system, or ESP" system is working, the gearshift indicator will disappear temporarily.
