BEFORE DRIVING
Maximum towing capacity (gross trailer weight; trailer with integrated drawbar, and cargo)
Braked trailer: 1300 kg (2866 lbs) Unbraked trailer: 350 kg (772 lbs)
To load your vehicle and trailer properly, you must know how to measure gross trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
78RB02083
(1) Gross trailer weight Gross trailer weight is the weight of the trailer with integrated drawbar plus all the cargo in it. You can measure gross trailer weight by putting the fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
2-73
(2) Permissible nose weight Nose weight is the downward force applied on the towing hitch ball by the trailer coupler, with the trailer fully loaded and the coupler at its normal towing height. This weight can also be measured using a bathroom scale.
The maximum towing capacity listed above(1300kg) is only applicable up to 1 000m above sea level. In high altitude regions above 1 000m, combined weight of the maximum towing capacity (gross trailer weight) and permissible gross vehicle weight (GVWR) must be reduced by 10% for every extra 1 000m.
A WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual sensor brake support, if your vehicle is used to tow a trailer, press the dual sensor brake support OFF switch to turn off the dual sensor brake support. If not, accidents related to the system being turned on may occur.
A CAUTION
When towing by your vehicle equipped with automatic transmission on a long steep uphill, try to take some rest on the way at a safe place to prevent overheat or damage of the engine or transmission.
NOTICE
Trailer towing puts additional stress on the engine, transmission and brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer during the first 1000 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation.
Engine oil consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumption depends on viscosity and quality of the oil and your driving conditions. More oil is consumed during high-speed driving and when there is frequent acceleration and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil. A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and it is difficult to judge the accurate oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driving. This is because the oil gradually becomes diluted with fuel or moisture,
making it appear that the oil level has not changed. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after high-speed driving.

A WARNING
To avoid possible injury, do not operate controls by reaching through the steering wheel.

Transfer lever
(1) Transfer lever
Your vehicle is equipped with the "ALL GRIP PRO" system that consists of a transfer case with a synchronizer (between 2WD-high and 4WD-high positions) and the air locking hubs. With this feature, you can shift the drive mode between 2-wheel drive high range and 4-wheel drive high range by shifting the "2H" or "4H" position. Stop the vehicle or reduce the speed to less than 100 km/h (60 mph) with the front wheels in the straight ahead position. Do not shift the transfer lever without depressing the accelerator pedal. Do not activate the cruise control system when shifting the transfer lever.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: The air locking hubs are activated by the vacuum of the engine and changed to shift the front wheel drive. The air locking hubs are not shifted when the engine is stopping. Several seconds are required from the operation of the transfer lever to the activation of air locking hubs. When the front tyres receive a big shock during running in 2-whee/ drive position on the road surface of the big irregularity, etc, some noise may occur inside the air locking hubs afterwards. In this situation, stop the vehicle and then shift the transfer lever into "4H" position. After that, shift the transfer lever into "2H" position
again.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: When you select the "4L" position the ESF'® systems (other than ABS) w/11 be canceled to provide improved vehicle traction, and the ESF'® OFF indicator light, dual sensor brake support OFF indicator light and lane departure warning OFF indicator light will come on. When you select the "4L" position braketraction control can be activated'. Braketraction control brakes the spinning wheel to distribute drive power to the other wheels for increased climbing ability or for better performance on a rolling hill or a slippery surface. If dual sensor brake support OFF indicator light and lane departure warning OFF indicator light come on or go off, the intenor buzzer beeps. This is not a ma/function.

Transfer lever operation
NOTICE
Unevenly worn tyres can cause problems in the operation of the transfer lever. Be sure to rotate the tyres according to the maintenance schedule. Refer to "Tyres" and "Maintenance Schedule" in the "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for proper tyre rotation procedures. If a problem exists during the shifting function, all lights of the 4WD indicator will blink continuously and the transfer lever operation will not work. If the shift function does not work after trying the shifting operation several times, it may be the result of a system failure. Have the system inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: When the temperature of 4-whee/ drive system or the transmission is not warm ':'nder the low temperature, you may feel ,t hard to shift the transfer lever or gear n01se may occur. Unless you can shift the transfer lever drive your vehicle for a while and the/2 shift the transfer lever again.
Operate the transfer lever according to the appropriate procedure described below:
From u2H" position to "4H" position Fr " 11 • • " " • •
78RB03026
The transfer lever can be shifted when the vehi_c_le is either stopped or moving. Pos1t1on the front wheels straight ahead and shift the transfer lever from "2H" to "4H" or "4H" to "2H". If the vehicle is moving, the speed must be less than 100 km/h (60 mph) during this operation.
A WARNING
Do not shift the transfer lever while the rear tyre is spinning. Your vehicle may move to the unexpected direction. 4-wheel drive system may be also damaged.
Brake assist system Under the followings and there is a high probability of a frontal collision, the brake assist system provides more powerful braking when you slam down on the brake pedal. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 15 km/h to 80 km/h (9 mph to 50 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 15 km/h to 60 km/h (9 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
When the brake assist system activates, the frontal collision warning also activates at the same time.
Automatic brake system Under the followings and a frontal collision is judged to be unavoidable, the brakes will powerfully operate automatically. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 5 km/h to 100 km/h (3 mph to 62 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 5 km/h to 60 km/h (3 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.
When the automatic brake system is activated at a speed of approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or under toward the vehicle in front of you (or toward the pedestrian, approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or under), collisions may be avoidable.
While the automatic brake system is activating, the interior buzzer will continuously beep, the dual sensor brake support indicator light will blink rapidly, the indication on the information display will appear, and the brake lights will come on.
