manual transaxle/Auto Gear Shift, or
shift into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has a
CVT.
Turn on the hazard warning flasher if
your vehicle is near traffic.
Block the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the wheel being
repaired.

7) Screw the air hose (10) of the compres- sor (1) to the tire valve (8). Fit the
power plug (11) to the accessory
socket. For a manual transaxle or an
Auto Gear Shift vehicle, shift from “R”
(Reverse) into “N” (Neutral). Start the
engine. Switch on the compressor.
Inflate the tire to the required air pres-
sure. If the tire cannot be inflated to the required
air pressure within 5 minutes, move the
vehicle a few meters back and forth to
spread the sealant over the entire tire.
Then, inflate the tire again.
If the tire still cannot be inflated to the
required air pressure, the tire may be
severely damaged. In this case, the flat tire
repair kit cannot provide the necessary
seal. Consult a SUZUKI dealer or a road-
side assistance service.
NOTE:
If the tire is over-inflated, deflate air by
loosening the screw of the air hose.

Jump-starting instructions
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 bat-
tery 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).
NOTICE
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes. It can cause
overheating of the compressor.
WA R N I N G
• 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 connec- tions, check that your hands and
the jump leads remain clear from
pulleys, belts or fans.
• Lead-acid batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames
and sparks away from the battery
or an explosion may occur. Never
smoke when working near the bat-
tery.
• If the booster ba ttery 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 an
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
• To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low 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.

3) Connect jump leads as follows:1. Connect one end of the first jumplead to the positive (+) terminal of
the flat 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, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mount bracket (3)) of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery (1). 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 flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact reverse order in which you connected
them.
TowingIf you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional service. Your dealer
can provide you with detailed towing
instructions.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump l ead to the engine
mount bracket securely. If the jump
lead disconnects from the engine
mount bracket because of vibration
at the start of the engine, the jump
lead could be caught in the drive
belts.
WA R N I N G
For vehicles equipped with the dual
camera brake support, if your vehicle
is towed with the engine on, press
dual camera brake support OFF
switch and turn off the dual camera
brake support. If not, unexpected
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 vehi- cle during towing, proper equip-
ment and towing procedures must
be used.
• Using the frame hook, tow your
vehicle on paved roads for short
distances at low speed.

Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it.
WA R N I N G
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.
WA R N I N G
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.EXAMPLE
