6) Position the jack vertically and raise the jack by turning the jack handle clock­wise until the jack head hole fits into the boss (1) of the body as the illustration. 7) Continue to raise the jack slowly and smoothly until the tyre clears the ground. Do not raise the vehicle more than necessary.
A WARNING
• Use the jack only to change wheels on level, hard ground. • Never jack up the vehicle on an inclined surface. • Never raise the vehicle with the jack in a location other than between the frame bosses near the wheel to be changed. • Make sure that the jack is raised at least 51 mm (2 inches) before it contacts the boss. Use of the jack when it is within 51 mm (2 inches) of being fully collapsed may result in failure of the jack. No person should place any por­tion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. • Never run the engine when the vehicle is supported by the jack and never allow passengers to remain in the vehicle.

Jump-starting instructions
A. WARNING
Never attempt to jump-start your vehicle if the lead-acid battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode. When making jump lead connec­tions, check that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts or fans. Lead-acid batteries produce flam­mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working near the bat­tery. If the booster battery you use for jump-starting is installed in another vehicle, check that the two vehicles are not touching each other. If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam­age to your vehicle or battery, fol­low the jump-starting instructions below. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by pushing or towing. This starting method could result in permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Use jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak or flat battery.
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to jump-start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to your vehicle so that the jump leads will reach both batteries. When using a bat­tery installed on another vehicle, check that two vehicles do not touch each other. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).

78R808004
3) Connect jump leads as follows:
1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery (1 ). 2. Connect the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (2). 3. Connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (2).
4. Make the final connection to an unpainted metal part (3) of engine cylinder head in the vehicle with the discharged battery (1 ).
A WARNING
Never connect the jump lead directly to the negative (-) terminal of the dis­charged battery, or an explosion may occur.
4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery. Run the engine at moderate speed. 5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. 6) Remove the jump leads in the exact reverse order in which you connected them.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Towing your vehicle
(recreational towing)
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional service. A SUZUKI dealer can provide you with detailed tow­ing instructions.
A WARNING
When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid acci­dents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe govern­ment and local requirements regard­ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.
7-6

EMERGENCY SERVICE
A safety chain should always be used when you tow your vehicle.
NOTICE
Do not tow your vehicle with the rear wheels directly on the ground (and the transmission in neutral). If you do, the transmission will be damaged fatally.
7-7
--------·--··---------------
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.

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.
