Vehicle Loading
Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities ofyour vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW,front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA- TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (includingall the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permis- sible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the front and rear axles can only be determined by weighing the vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehi- cle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
Trailer Towing
Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originallydesigned to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MAR- UTI SUZUKI does not recommend you useyour vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Towing Your Vehicle
Your vehicle may be towed behind anothervehicle (such as a motorhome), providedyour vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method speci- fied for your vehicle. The towing methodyou must use depends on the specifica- tions of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shiftvehicle.
Use the towing instruction table to select the proper towing method for your vehicle, and carefully follow the corresponding instructions. Be sure to use proper towingequipment designed for recreational tow- ing and make sure that towing speed does not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. Thegross vehicle weight (sum of theweights of the vehicle, all the occu- pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) mustnever exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that theweight on either th e front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).
WA R N I N G
Always distribute cargo evenly. Toavoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehiclemoves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far for- ward in the cargo area as possible.Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.
WA R N I N G
When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid acci-dents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe govern- ment and local requirements regard-ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.
WA R N I N G
A safety chain should always be used when you tow your vehicle.

• Never attempt to jump start your vehicle if the battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode or rupture if jumpstarting is attempted. • When making jump lead connec- tions, be certain that your handsand the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts, or fans. • Batteries produce flammablehydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smokewhen working in the vicinity of the battery. • If the booster battery you use forjump starting is installed in another vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not touching each other.• If your battery discharges repeat- edly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicl e or battery, fol- low the jump starting instructions below precisely and in order. If you are in doubt, call for qualifiedroad service.

3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery (1). 2. Connect the other end to the positive(+) terminal of the booster battery (2). 3. Connect one end of the second jumplead to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery (2). 4. Make the final connection to anunpainted, heavy metal part (i.e. engine mount bracket (3)) of the engine of the vehicle with the flatbattery (1).
4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the
engine of the vehicle with the booster battery. Run the engine at moderate speed.5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery. 6) Remove the jump leads in the exactreverse order in which you connected them.
Towing
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional service. Your dealercan provide you with detailed towing instructions.
2-Wheel Drive (2WD) Manual Tran- saxle or Auto Gear ShiftManual transaxle vehicles or Auto Gear Shift vehicles may be towed using either of the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels on the ground. Before towing, make sure thatthe parking brake is released. 2) From the rear, with the rear wheels lifted and the front wheels on theground, provided the steering and drivetrain are in operational condition. Before towing, make sure that transaxleis in neutral, the steering wheel is
unlocked (the ignition key should be in the “ACC” position), and the steering wheel is secured with a clampingdevice designed for towing service.
WA R N I N G
Never connect the jump lead directlyto the negative (–) terminal of the dis- charged battery, or an explosion may occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump le ad to the engine mount bracket securely. If the jump lead disconnects from the engine mount bracket because of vibrationat the start of the engine, the jump lead could be caught in the drive belts.
NOTICE
To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shiftlever to the “N” position, always check the gear position indicator in the instrument cluster shows the “N”position to make sure that the transaxle is disengaged. If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position, and move the Auto Gear Shift lever from “N” to “D”,“M” or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then turn the key from the “ON” to the “LOCK” position.These procedures may help put the transaxle in neutral. If the transaxle still cannot be put in neutral, you can-not tow the vehicle without using a towing dolly. The steering column is not strongenough to with stand shocks trans- mitted from the fr ont wheels during towing. Always unlock the steeringwheel before towing.
