6-1VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
Vehicle loadingYour vehicle was designed for specific
weight capacities. The weight capacities of
your vehicle are indicated by the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW,
front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front
and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including
all the occupants, accessories and cargo
plus the trailer nose weight if towing a
trailer).
PAW (front and rear) – Maximum permissi-
ble weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and
actual loads at the front and rear axles can
only be determined by weighing the vehi-
cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR
and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehi-
cle weight or the load on either axle
exceeds these ratings, you must remove
enough weight to bring the load down to
the rated capacity.
Trailer towing
60A185
While towing a trailer can adversely affect
handling, durability and fuel economy. Your
vehicle can be used to tow a trailer which
does not exceed the towing capacity spec-
ified below:
Maximum towing capacity
(trailer, cargo & tow bar)
Braked trailer: 1000 kg (2205 lbs)
Unbraked trailer: 400 kg (882 lbs)
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer
nose weight if towing a trailer) must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition,
never distribute a load so that the
weight on either the front or rear axle
exceeds the Permissible maximum
Axle Weight (PAW).
WA R N I N G
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always secure cargo to
prevent it from shifting if the vehicle
moves suddenly. Place heavier
objects on the floor and as far for-
ward in the cargo area as possible.
Never pile cargo higher than the top
of the seat backs.

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.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow for easy identifica-
tion.
• Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• 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.
• Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames around fuel or the battery.
Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
• Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground,
into sewers, etc.

Tightening torque for drain plug:
35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas-
ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to
the specif ied torque.
NOTE:
(For models with oil change request light)
• Whenever the engine oil is changed, the oil life monitoring must be reset to moni-
tor the next oil change timing properly.
To reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to
“Setting mode” in “Inf ormation display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• For more information of the oil change request light and oil life monitoring, refer
to “Oil change request light” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Oil filter replacement1) Using an oil filter wr ench, turn the oil fil-
ter counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount- ing surface on the engine where the
new filter will be seated.
3) Smear a small amount of engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil
filter.
4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil- ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-
face.

Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil-
dren and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep
new and used oil and used oil filters
away from children and pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin can-
cer.
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin. (Continued)EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as dish-
washing gloves) when changing oil. If
oil contacts your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if it is
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and oil filters.

Lithium-ion battery (if equipped)This battery is installed only in models
equipped with the ENG A-STOP system
and is located under the front passenger’s
seat.
• The lithium-ion battery is maintenance-free. However, in order to avoid a flat
battery, drive the vehicle once a month
for at least 30 minutes to recharge the
battery.
• When replacing or disposing of the lith- ium-ion battery, consult your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
FusesYour vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the lead-acid battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse
and individual fuses, and are for electrical
load groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for indi vidual electrical cir-
cuits.
To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller pro-
vided in the fuse box.

Since mishandling the lithium-ion
battery may cause a fire or electric
shock or damage to the battery,
observe the following precautions.
• Do not remove or disassemble it.
• Do not allow it to get wet, for exam- ple, with water.
• Do not expose it to a strong impact.
• Do not lean or place any object on it.
