differential SUZUKI JIMNY 2020 Owners Manual

DRIVING TIPS
Snow chains
Snow chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Check that the chains you use are the correct size for your vehicle's tyres. Also check that there is enough clearance between the fenders and the chains as installed on the tyres. Install the chains on the rear tyres tightly, according to the chain manufacturer's instructions. Retighten the chains after driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces­sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
NOTICE
If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driving, stop and tighten them.
4-5
Do not drive in the field covered
with grown grass
If you drive in the field covered with grass, it may cause accident or vehicle damage by getting caught in grown grass.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transfer shift lever into the "4L"
position. 2) Shift the transmission back and forth between a forward range (or first gear for manual transmission) and reverse. This will create a rocking motion which may give you enough momentum to free the vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spin to a min­imum. Remove your foot from the accelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper, making it more difficult to free the vehicle. 3) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull you out.
A WARNING
Do not allow anyone to stand near the vehicle when you are rocking it, and do not spin the wheels faster than an indicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on the speedometer. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
• Release the accelerator pedal when operating the gearshift lever or the transfer lever. Operating the gear­shift lever or the transfer lever with the engine racing can damage the gears and the free axle mechanism. • Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Pro­longed rocking can cause engine overheating, transmission, trans­fer case, axles, propeller shaft or differential damage, or tyre dam­age.

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.

DRIVING TIPS
NOTICE
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep puddle. It may cause an engine stall, short in electrical components, engine and transmission damages, etc.
4-7
Do not drive through deep or rush­
ing water
Driving in deep or rushing water can be hazardous. You could lose control of the vehicle and the occupants could drown. Also, your vehicle could be seriously dam­aged. To avoid these risks, observe the following instructions and precautions. Do not drive through deep or rushing water. Deep or rushing water, such as fast-moving streams or fioodwaters, could carry your vehicle away from your intended path. The water is too deep if it covers your wheel hubs, axles, or exhaust tailpipe. Know the depth of the water before you attempt to drive through it.
If the vehicle goes across the river unavoidably, follow the instructions below before going across the river. 1) Confirm the depth of the river and the terrain. 2) Select the place which is less than 30cm (11.8 inch) in depth of water. Go across the river to a right angle for the river or lower part of the river 3) Drive slowly at less than 5 km/h (3.1 mph) not to raise the wave and go across the river immediately to avoid operating the gearshift lever.
If the vehicle goes across the river that is more than 30 cm (11.8 inch) in depth of water unavoidably, 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. If water blocks the tailpipe, the engine may not start or run. If the water is deep enough to get drawn into the engine intake system, the engine will be badly damaged. Submerged brakes will have poor brak­ing performance. Drive slowly and care­fully. Driving slowly will also help avoid water splashing onto the ignition system, which could cause the engine to stall. Even when driving through shallow or still waters, drive carefully since the water may be hiding ground hazards such as holes, ditches, or bumps.
