Jump-starting instructions
A. WARNING
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 connec­tions, check that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts or fans. Lead-acid batteries produce flam­mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working near the bat­tery. If the booster battery 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 a SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam­age to your vehicle or battery, fol­low 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.
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 bat­tery 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).
