The low tire pressure warning light can
come on due to normal causes such as
natural air leakage and pressure changes
caused by changes in temperature or
atmospheric pressure. Adjusting the air
pressure in the tires to the pressure shown
on the tire information placard should
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
turn off.
To make the low tire pressure warning light
go off, adjust the tire pressures when the
tires are cold, and drive the vehicle for
about 10 minutes.
When the adjusted tire pressure is recog-
nized, the low tire pressure warning light
will go off and the information display
shows the current tire pressure (if you
select the TPMS monitor).If the light turns on again shortly after
adjusting the pressure in your tires, you
may have a flat tire. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with the spare tire (if equipped).
Refer to “Jacking instructions” in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section. Refer
to “Replacing tires and/or wheels” for
instructions on how to restore normal oper-
ation of the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem after you have
had a flat tire.
WA R N I N G
Continuing to drive with the low tire
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly unde r-inflated tire can
cause the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop in a safe place as soon as
possible and check your tires.
• If you have a flat tire, replace it with the spare tire (if e quipped). Refer to
“Jacking instructions” in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section
for tire replacement. Also refer to
“Replacing tires and/or wheels” for
instructions on how to restore nor-
mal operation of the TPMS after
you have had a flat tire. (Continued)
WA R N I N G

• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare
tire, refer to “Flat tire repair kit” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion for instructions on how to per-
form an emergency repair of a flat
tire.
• If one or more of your tires is under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure in all of your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not go off even when you drive
for more than 10 minutes after adjust-
ing the cold tire pressure, there may
be a problem with the TPMS. Have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.

Improving fuel economyThe following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a
cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle
or apply full throttle until the engine has
reached operating temperature. Allow the
engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and
shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-
ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed
whenever possible. Slowing down and
then accelerating aga in uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed
Drive at a constant speed that road and
traffic conditions will permit.
NOTICE
To minimize the possibility of cata-
lytic converter or other vehicle dam-
age:
• Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition.
• In the event of an engine malfunc-
tion, particularly one involving
engine misfire or other apparent
loss of performance, have the vehi-
cle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or inter-
rupt the ignition when the transaxle
is in gear and the vehicle is in
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 diagnos-
tic testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for pro- longed periods if idling seems
rough or there are other malfunc-
tions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.
WA R N I N G
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.

4-5DRIVING TIPS
75RM4-01E
Tire chainsTire chains should only be used if they are
needed to increase traction or are required
by law. Check that the chains you use are
the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.
Also check that there is enough clearance
between the fenders and the chains as
installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly,
according to the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. Retighten the chains after
driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-
sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
Stuck vehicleIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud or
sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transaxle back and forthbetween a forward range (or first gear
for manual transaxle/Auto Gear Shift)
and reverse. This will create a rocking
motion which may give you enough
momentum to free the vehicle. Press
gently on the accelerator to keep wheel
spinning to a minimum wheel rpm.
Remove your foot from the accelerator
while shifting.
Do not race the engine. Excessive
wheel spin will cause the tires to dig
deeper, making it more difficult to free
the vehicle.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the ESP
®
and/or grip control system, you may have
to turn the systems off in order to spin the
wheels. 2) If your vehicle rema
ins stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, we recommend you
to consult your SUZUKI dealer or a road-
side assistance service. If a towing ser-
vice is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by
a towing cable or chain secured to the
towing hook either on the front of the
vehicle or on the rear of the vehicle. Refer
to “Frame hooks” in the “OTHER CON-
TROLS AND EQUIPMENT” section.
NOTICE
• If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driv-
ing, stop and tighten them.
• If your vehicle is equipped with full wheel caps, remove the wheel caps
before installing the chains or the
wheel caps can be damaged by the
chain bands.
WA R N I N G
Do not allow anyone to stand near
the vehicle when you are rocking it,
and do not spin the wheels faster
than an indicated 40 km/h (25 mph)
on the speedometer. Personal injury
and/or vehicle damage may result
from spinning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes. Pro-
longed rocking can cause engine
overheating or transaxle damage.

front of the vehicle for use in emergency
situations only.
WA R N I N G
• Abrupt maneuvers or failure toproperly secure cargo can allow
the cargo to fly off the vehicle and
hit others, causing personal injury
or property damage.
• Mount cargo securely and avoid abrupt maneuvers such as jackrab-
bit starts, sharp turns, fast corner-
ing and sudden braking. Check
periodically that cargo is securely
fastened.
• Large, bulky, long or flat items can affect vehicle aerodynamics or be
caught by the wind, and can reduce
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent and personal injury. Drive cau-
tiously at a safely reduced speed
when carrying this type of cargo.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following instructions
when using frame hooks. The towing
hook or vehicle body may break and
cause serious injury or damage:
• Do not use the frame hooks fortowing another vehicle.
• Avoid pulling the vehicle to get out
of severe snowy, muddy or sandy
conditions, sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which could
cause excessive stress on the tow-
ing hook.
In such case, we recommend that
you contact a professional service.

(Continued)
• Be careful when overtaking othervehicles. 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 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 strongly. This could cause the
brakes to over-heat resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Use
engine braking as much as possi-
ble.
• 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 temperature. If the high
engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light (red color) indicates over-
heating, pull off the road and stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine trouble: Overheating” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When parking your vehicle and con-
nected trailer, always use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have another person place wheel
chocks under the wheels of the
vehicle and the trailer while you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual transaxle – turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or
first gear.
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position indicator in the instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle is engaged in 1st or
reverse, then turn off the engine.
CVT – shift into “P” (Park) and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress the clutch and start the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake, and slowly pull away from
the chocks.
3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and hold them.
4) Have another person remove the
chocks.

Take extreme care when working on
your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Carefully observe the follow-
ing precautions:
• To prevent damage or unintendedactivation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, check
that the lead-acid battery is discon-
nected and the ignition switch has
been in “LOCK” position or the igni-
tion mode has been LOCK (OFF) for
at least 90 seconds before perform-
ing any electrical service work on
your SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch
air bag system components, seat
belt pretensioner system compo-
nents or wires.

• When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt. Even though the fan may not
be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning.
• When it is necessary to perform
service work with the engine run-
ning, check that the parking brake
is set fully and the transaxle is in
Neutral (for manual transaxle or
Auto Gear Shift vehicles) or Park
(for CVT vehicles).
• Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
•Be careful not to touch a hot engine, exhaust manifold and
pipes, muffler, radiator and water
hoses.
