(if equipped)
• If the heating performance can no longerperform  at  a  sufficient  level  due  to  auto-
matically  stopping  the  engine,  press  the
ENG  A-STOP  OFF  switch  to  deactivate
the  ENG  A-STOP  system.  (The  engine
will automatically restart and the air con-
ditioning performanc e will be restored.)
• If the windshield and/or the driver’s side/ passenger  side  door  windows  are
fogged during automatic ally stopping the
engine,  stop  the  ENG  A-STOP  system
and restart the engine. Then, turn the air
flow selector (3) to change the air flow to
the HEAT & DEFROST or DEFROST
position to defog the windows.
MaintenanceIf  you  do  not  use  the  air  conditioner  for  a
long  period,  such  as  during  winter,  it  may
not  give  the  best  performance  when  you
start  using  it  again.  To  help  maintain  opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner,  it  needs  to  be  run  periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month  for  one  minute  with  the  engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
If  your  air  conditioner  is  equipped  with  air
filters,  clean  or  replace  them  as  specified
in  “Maintenance  schedule”  in  the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. 
(For vehicles using “HFO-1234yf” refrig-
erant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called
R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for
automotive applications. Other refriger-
ants are available, but only R-1234yf
should be used in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using  the  wrong  refrigerant  may
damage  your  air  conditioning  sys-
tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or
replace the R-1234yf with other refrig-
erants.
(Except for vehicles using “HFO-1234yf”
refrigerant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
R-134a. R-134a replaced R-12 around
1993 for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, including recy-
cled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using  the  wrong  refrigerant  may
damage  your  air  conditioning  sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace  the  R-134a  with  other  refrig-
erants.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
To w   b a r sOnly  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  (available  as  option),  or
equivalent.Safety chainsAlways  attach  safety  chains  between  your
vehicle  and  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.  Fol-
low  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.
Trailer lightsCheck  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.Brakes
WA R N I N G
For  vehicles  equipped  with  the  dual
camera brake support, if your vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, press the dual
camera  brake  support  OFF  switch
and  turn  off  the  dual  camera  brake
support.  If  not,  unexpected  acci-
dents  related  to  the  system  being
turned on may occur.
NOTICE
Trailer  towing  puts  additional  stress
on the engine, drive train and brakes
of  your  vehicle.  Never  tow  a  trailer
during  the  first  960  km  (600  miles)  of
vehicle operation.
NOTICE
When towing by a vehicle with CVT
on  a  long  steep  hill,  try  to  take  some
rest  on  the  way  to  prevent  overheat
or damage of the engine or transaxle.
WA R N I N G
Never  use  a  tow  bar  which  attaches
to  the  axle  or  the  bumper  of  your
vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Never  attach  safety  chains  to  the
bumper  of  your  vehicle.  Secure  con-
nections  so  that  they  cannot  come
loose.
WA R N I N G
Never  connect  trailer  lights  directly
into  your  vehicle’s  electrical  system,
or  electrical  system  damage  may
occur.
WA R N I N G
If  trailer  brakes  are  used,  follow  all
instructions  provided  by  the  manu-
facturer.  Never  connect  to  the  brake
system  of  your  vehicle  and  never
take an electrical supply directly from
the wiring harness.

(Continued)
• Be  careful  when  overtaking  othervehicles.  Allow  enough  room  for
your  trailer  before  changing  lanes,
and  use  turn  signal  lights  properly
in advance.
• Slow  down  and  shift  into  a  lower gear before you reach long or steep
downhill  grades.  It  is  hazardous  to
attempt downshifting while you are
descending a hill.
• Do  not  step  on  the  brake  pedal strongly.  This  could  cause  the
brakes  to  over-heat  resulting  in
reduced  braking  efficiency.  Use
engine  braking  as  much  as  possi-
ble.
• Because  of  the  added  trailer weight,  your  engine  may  overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep  hills.  Pay  attention  to  your
engine temperature. If the high
engine  coolant  temperature  warn-
ing  light  (red  color)  indicates  over-
heating,  pull  off  the  road  and  stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine  trouble:  Overheating”  in
the  “EMERGENCY  SERVICE”  sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When  parking  your  vehicle  and  con-
nected  trailer,  always  use  the  follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have  another  person  place  wheel
chocks  under  the  wheels  of  the
vehicle  and  the  trailer  while  you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual  transaxle  –  turn  off  the engine,  then  shift  into  reverse  or
first gear. 
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position  indicator  in  the  instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle  is  engaged  in  1st  or
reverse, then turn off the engine. 
CVT  –  shift  into  “P”  (Park)  and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress  the  clutch  and  start  the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake,  and  slowly  pull  away  from
the chocks.
3) Stop,  apply  the  brakes  firmly  and hold them.
4) Have  another  person  remove  the
chocks.

WA R N I N G
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.
