Tow bars
Only use a tow bar that is designed to attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar. We recommend that you use a genuine SUZUKI tow bar kit (available as an option), or equivalent.
A WARNING
Never use a tow bar which attaches to the axle or the bumper of your vehicle.
Safety chains
Always attach safety chains between your vehicle and the trailer. Cross safety chains under the nose of the trailer so that the nose will not drop to the road if the trailer becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol­low the manufacturer's recommendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough slack to permit full turning. Never allow safety chains to drag on the road.
A WARNING
Never attach safety chains to the bumper of your vehicle. Secure con­nections so that they cannot come loose.
-----------------------
Trailer lights
Check that your trailer is equipped with lights which meet local requirements. Always check for the proper operation of all trailer lights before you start to tow.
A WARNING
Never connect trailer lights directly into your vehicle's electrical system, or electrical system damage may occur.
Brakes
A WARNING
If the trailer is equipped with the brakes, follow all instructions pro­vided by the manufacturer. Never connect to the brake system of your vehicle and never take an electrical supply directly from the wiring har­
ness.
BEFORE DRIVING
Tyres
A WARNING
When towing a trailer, it is very important for your vehicle and trailer to have properly inflated tyres. Your vehicle's tyres should be inflated to the pressures listed on your vehicle's tyre information label. The tyres should be inflated to the laden pres­sures. Inflate trailer tyres according to the specifications provided by the trailer manufacturer.
Mirrors
Check 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.

Low tyre pressure warning light
(!)
52D305
Each tyre should be checked monthly when cold and infiated to the infiation pres­sure recommended by the vehicle manu­facturer on the vehicle placard or tyre pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre pres­sure for those tyres.) As an added fuel efficiency feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or more of your tyres is signifi­cantly under-infiated. Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and infiate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-infiated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-infiation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi­tute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain cor­rect tyre pressure, even if under-infiation has not reached the level to trigger illumi­nation of the TPMS low tyre pressure tell­tale.
A WARNING
Relying only on the tyre pressure monitoring system to determine when it is necessary to add air to the tyres can result in loss of control or an accident. Check tyre pressures monthly when the tyres are cold. If necessary, adjust them to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on the vehicle's tyre information placard and in this owner's manual. Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN­TENANCE" section.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
Failure to take corrective action when the low tyre pressure warning light is not working or when it comes on and blinks while driving can lead to an accident. If the low tyre pressure warning light does not come on for 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, or comes on and blinks while driving, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. Even if the light turns off after blinking, indi­cating that the monitoring system has recovered, you should still have the system checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

TPMS limitations
The tyre pressure monitoring system may not function properly under certain circum­stances. In the following situations, the low tyre pressure warning light may come on and remain on or may blink. When you replace a flat tyre with the spare tyre. When you include a spare tyre during a tyre rotation. When the TPMS sensor is damaged during a tyre replacement or liquid seal­ants are used to repair a flat tyre. When the electronic signal of TPMS sen­sor is disturbed in one of the following ways: -Electric devices or facilities using simi­lar radio wave frequencies are nearby. -A metallic film that may cause radio wave interference is attached on the window. -A lot of snow or ice covers the vehicle, in particular, around the wheels or wheel housings. -Snow tyres that are not installed with genuine TPMS sensors or snow chains are used.
When you use non-genuine SUZUKI wheels or tyres. When the pressure of any tyre is too high. When there is a problem with the receiver of the TPMS controller.

A WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. • Check that your tyres are in good condition and always maintain the specified tyre pressure. Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) Do not use tyres other than those specified by SUZUKI. Never use dif­ferent sizes or types of tyres on the front and rear wheels. For informa­tion regarding the specified tyres, refer to the tyre information label located on the driver's door lock pillar. Never use oversized tyres or spe~ cial shock absorbers and springs to raise uack up) your vehicle. This will change the handling character­istics. Oversized tyres may also rub against the fender over bumps, causing vehicle damage, drive train damage or tyre failure. After driving through water, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have main­tained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effective­ness.
DRIVING TIPS
When encountering a flooded area
80J042
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep puddle. If driving in a flooded area is unavoidable, go slowly in the lowest gear. In case that you have driven in a flooded area, stop the vehicle in a safe place while checking the brake effectiveness. Then, ask a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work­shop to check the following inspection items. Function of brake Function of electrical components Changes of oil level and quality for engine, transmission and differential. In case that the oil is turbid whitely, water has been mixed in the oil and an oil change is required. Lubricant condition of the bearings, sus­pension joints, etc.

Steering wheel play 11c": 0-30 mm (0.0 -1.2 in.)
Check the free play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and measuring the distance that it moves before you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily and smoothly without rattling by turning it all the way to the right and to the left while driving very slowly in an open area. If the amount of free play is not as specified or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by a SUZUKI dealer.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Tyres
78RB07013
The front and rear tyre pressure specifica­tions are listed in the tyre information label. Both front and rear tyres should have the specified tyre pressure.
NOTE: The tyre pressure will change due to changes in atmospheric pressure, tem­perature or tyre temperature when driving. To reduce the chance that the low tyre pressure warning light (if equipped) will come on due to normal changes in tem­perature and atmospheric pressure, it is important to check and adjust the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. If you check tyres after driving, they are warm. Even if the tyre pressure seems to be good in this condition, it could fall below the
