Rear outside seat belt guide
54P000261
Rear outside seat belt guides (1) are pro-
vided on the lateral face of rear seat as
shown in the illustration.
When the rear seat belt is not fastened,
hook the webbing on the belt guide.
When the rear seat belt is fastened,
unhook the webbing from the belt guide.
WA R N I N G
Check that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the seat belt in a crash.
EXAMPLE

WA R N I N G
If rear outside seat belt is fastened
without unhooking the webbing from
the belt guide (1), the seat belt does
not show full performance in the
event of accident and can result in
serious personal injury.

(For models with front passenger air bag
deactivation system)
Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
• If you must install the child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger’s seat, follow
instructions below.
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front
air bag by the front passenger air bag
deactivation system.
– Slide the seat to the most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatback at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) with the seatback
angle adjustment lever.
– If your vehicle is equipped with the
seat height adjustment lever, raise the
seat to the uppermost position by the
seat height adjustment lever.
Install your child restraint system accord-
ing to the instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
Check that the seat belt is securely
latched.
Move the child restraint system in all direc-
tions to check that it is securely installed.
When you put your child in the child
restraint system, appropriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
WA R N I N G
If rear outside seat belt is fastened
without unhooking the webbing from
the belt guide (1), a child restraint
system cannot be installed properly
in the rear seat.
(1)
NOTICE
Before installing a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, remove the head
restraints.

Cancelling speed limiter
• To cancel the speed limiter, push “CAN-
CEL” switch (2). The set indicator (6) will
go off.

Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten
their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.

not be able to decelerate even with
the warning brake system, the
brake assist system and automatic
brake system functioning.
– On sharp curves or extremely
rough surfaces
– On the following slippery sur-
faces
• Frozen or snow-covered sur-
faces
• Over manholes or metal con-
struction plates
• Gravel
• In the following situations, the tilt
and/or height of the vehicle is
changed, the system does not
function properly and unexpected
accidents may occur.
– With a modified suspension
(Altering the vehicle height, etc.)
– With non-specified sized tires
equipped
– With worn or extremely uneven
tires equipped
– With low or high tire pressure

ing slopes

NOTE:
• Thin poles or obstacles lower than the
sensors may become undetectable as
the vehicle moves closer to them even if
they have been detected from longer
distances.
• The system may calculate the distance
to a road sign or similar obstacle to be
shorter than the actual distance.
WA R N I N G
• Under the following conditions, the
parking sensor system may not
work normally because the sensors
cannot detect obstacles correctly.
– Sensors are covered with mud,
ice or other materials. (Such
materials must be removed for
normal operation.)
– Sensors are wet from water
splashes or heavy rain.
– Sensors are covered by a hand,
sticker, accessory, etc.
– There is an accessory or other
object attached within the sen-
sor’s sensing area.
– Items such as tow hooks, com-
mercially available corner poles,
radio antenna, etc. are installed
on the bumper.
– The height of the bumper is
changed due to alteration to the
suspension or other causes.
– The sensor areas are extremely
hot from direct sunlight or cold
due to freezing weather.
– The vehicle is on a rough sur-
face, slope, gravel road or grass
field.
– The vehicle is at a steep angle.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
– Sensors have intercepted ultra-
sonic noise from another vehi-
cle’s horn, engine, air braking
system (large vehicles), or park-
ing sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a
highly reflective object such as
glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not
reflected back from the obstacle.)
• Sensors may not be able to cor-
rectly detect the following types of
obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material
such as wire netting and ropes
– Square-shaped curbstones or
other objects with sharp edges
– Tall objects with a large upper
part such as a road sign
– Low-profile objects such as curb-
stones
– Sound-absorbing objects such
as cotton and snow

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
54P00-01E
Tires
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.
Vehicle/trailer loading
To load your vehicle and trailer properly,
you must know how to measure gross
trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
Gross trailer weight is the weight of the
trailer plus all the cargo in it. You can mea-
sure gross trailer weight by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Nose weight is the downward force
exerted on the tow bar by the trailer cou-pler, with the trailer fully loaded and the
coupler at its normal towing height. This
weight can be measured using a bathroom
scale.
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross
trailer weight) should never exceed towing
capacity.
Distribute cargo in your trailer so that nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed the maximum vertical
load on trailer hitch point. You should mea-
sure gross trailer weight and nose weight
before towing to check that your load is
properly distributed.
Additional trailer towing warnings
WA R N I N G
When towing a trailer, it is very
important for your vehicle and trailer
to have properly inflated tires. Your
vehicle’s tires should be inflated to
the pressures listed on your vehicles
tire information label. If laden pres-
sures are listed on the label, the tires
should be inflated to the laden pres-
sures. Inflate trailer tires according to
the specifications provided by the
trailer manufacturer.
WA R N I N G
Improper weight distribution of your
trailer may result in poor vehicle han-
dling and swaying of the trailer.
Always check that trailer nose weight
is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed the maximum
vertical load on trailer hitch point.
Also check that the cargo is properly
secured. Failure to observe this
requirement may result in an acci-
dent.
WA R N I N G
Never overload cargo on your trailer
or your vehicle. Gross trailer weight
must never exceed towing capacity.
Gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories including tow
bars and a trailer hitch, cargo and
trailer nose weight) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
WA R N I N G
Connect trailer lights and hook up
safety chains every time you tow.
NOTICE
Because towing a trailer puts addi-
tional stress on your vehicle, more
frequent maintenance will be
required than under normal driving
conditions. Follow the schedule in
“Maintenance recommended under
severe driving conditions”.
