6-3VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
TiresMirrorsCheck 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.Vehicle/trailer loadingTo load your vehicle and trailer properly,
you must know how to measure gross
trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
Gross trailer weight is the weight of the
trailer plus all the cargo in it. You can mea-
sure gross trailer weight by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Nose weight is the downward force
exerted on the tow bar by the trailer cou- pler, with the trailer fully loaded and the
coupler at its normal towing height. This
weight can be measured using a bathroom
scale.
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross
trailer weight) should never exceed towing
capacity.
Distribute cargo in your trailer so that nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed “Maximum vertical
load” of 50 kg (110 lbs), and does not fall
below 25 kg (55 lbs) or 4%, whichever is
heavier, on trailer hitch point. You should
measure gross trailer weight and nose
weight before towing to check that your
load is properly distributed.
NOTE:
For 4WD model in Europe, in the Member
States where the road traffic legislation
allows it, as it is also stated in COMMIS-
SION REGULATION (EU) 1230/2012, the
technically permissi
ble maximum laden
mass (GVWR) of the vehicle may be
exceeded by not more than 40 kg (88 lbs)
in case of towing a trailer.
WA R N I N G
When towing a trailer, it is very
important for your vehicle and trailer
to have properly inflated tires. Your
vehicle’s tires should be inflated to
the pressures listed on your vehicles
tire information label. If laden pres-
sures are listed on the label, the tires
should be inflated to the laden pres-
sures. Inflate trailer tires according to
the specifications provided by the
trailer manufacturer.
WA R N I N G
Improper weight distribution of your
trailer may result in poor vehicle han-
dling and swaying of the trailer.
Always check that trailer nose weight
is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed “Maximum verti-
cal load” of 50 kg (110 lbs), and does
not fall below 25 kg (55 lbs) or 4%,
whichever is heavier, on trailer hitch
point. Also check that the cargo is
properly secured. Failure to observe
this requirement may result in an
accident.
WA R N I N G
Never overload cargo on your trailer
or your vehicle. Gross trailer weight
must never exceed towing capacity.
Gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories including tow
bars and a trailer hitch, cargo and
trailer nose weight) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.

(For K12M engine model)
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Continuously variable transaxle (CVT) fluidSpecified fluidUse a CVT fluid SUZUKI CVT FLUID
GREEN-2.Fluid level checkYou must check the fluid level with the CVT
fluid at normal ope rating temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the CVT fluid, drive the vehicle for more 5 km. NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull-
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
2) Park your vehicle on level ground.
3) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
4) With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
gear, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
NOTICE
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the specified
plugs, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”
section in the end of this book. If you
wish to use a brand of spark plug
other than the specified plugs, con-
sult your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the specified CVT
fluid. Using CVT fluid other than
SUZUKI CVT FLUID GREEN-2 may
damage the CVT of your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or
the vehicle can move suddenly.
