A CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind­shield is covered with mud, ice1 or other similar substances, the head­lights and position lights may be turned on even when it is still light outside.
NOTE: Avoid covering the light sensor area of the windshield with a sticker. The sticker may impair the performance of the sen­sor and make the system unable to con­trol operation of the lights correctly. If you turned the ignition switch to "ON" position and "AUTO" position remains selected, the headlights and position lights come on automatically as it gets dark outside, even with the engine not running. Leaving the lights lit for a long time may lead to a completely dis­charged battery.

Vehicle loading
Your vehicle is designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities of your 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 "SPECIFICATIONS" section.
GVWR -Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer). PAW (front and rear) -Maximum permissi­ble 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 vehi­cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the g_ross vehi­cle weight or the load on either axle exceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
A_ WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the vehicle, all the occu­pants, accessories, cargo p~us trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that the weight on either the front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).
A_ WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always_ se~ure carg'? to prevent it from sh1ftmg 1f the vehicle moves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far _for­ward in the cargo area as possible. Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.
BEFORE DRIVING
Trailer towing
Observe any country-specific regulations when towing a trailer and using a tow bar.
60A185
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting passengers and luggage. Towing a trailer can adversely affect vehi­cle handling, durability and fuel economy. Nevertheless, if suitably equipped, your vehicle can be used to tow a trailer which does not exceed the towing capacity spec­ified below:

1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors are clean and unobstructed. 2) Visually check the tyres for the follow-ing points: -the depth of the tread groove -abnormal wear, cracks and damage -loose wheel nuts -existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc.
Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
3-1
NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system while and after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed and latched. 5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera­tion. 6) Adjust the seat and head restraint. 7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Check that you and all passengers have properly fastened by the seat belts. 1 0)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. 11 )Check all gauges. 12)Check that the brake system warning light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level 3) Brake fluid level 4) Battery fluid (acid) level 5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Check that you cannot open . the hood further without releasing the secondary latch. Close the hood securely after checking for proper latch operation. See the item "All latches, hinges and locks" of "Chassis, body and others" in "Maintenance schedule" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTE­NANCE" section for lubrication sched­ule.
A WARNING
Check that the hood is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre pressure of the spare tyre.

SUZUKI SAFETY SUPPORT
(if equipped)
Dual sensor brake support
Dual sensor brake support is a system that detects a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of your vehicle by the dual sensor, attempts to avoid a collision by giving warning to the driver, and attempts to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
A WARNING
• Dual sensor brake support has lim­its and may not function properly depending on the driving condi­tions. 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.
NOTE: While the system is working, if a vehicle in front of you moves outside the dual sensor's detection field or the vehicle can no longer be detected, the system may stop functioning. While the system is working, a braking sound may be heard even if you do not depress the brake pedal, but this is nor­mal. • As the function of the dual sensor brake support is different depending on some destinations or areas, there are type of vehicles with the function not to detect the pedestrians.

Situations where the system does not activate When the high beam assist warning light (orange) comes on by the temporary stop or malfunction of system.
NOTE: When the function of the dual sensor brake support is temporarily stopped, high beam assist will be temporarily stopped. Refer to "Temporary stop or failure of the dual sen­sor'' in this section for details.
When high beam assist warning light (orange) is initially lighting immediately after the ignition switch is turned to "ON".
Under the following situations, high beam may not automatically switched to low beam. When you pass by an oncoming vehicle on a curvy road where the visibility is poor When another vehicle crosses in front of you When the vehicle in front of you glimpses due to continuous curves, medial strip or street trees When the vehicle in front of you approaches towards you from the far lane When the vehicle in front of you is driv­ing without lights
For the following cause, there is case where the switching timing of the high beam and low beam is varied. When the lights of the vehicle in front of you is dark When only one side of the lights of the vehicle in front of you is turned on The directions and movements of the vehicle in front of you When the vehicle in front of you is a motorcycle When driving on the following roads -On sharp curves or extremely rough surfaces -On a steep slope
When your vehicle is weighed down by heavy items in the luggage compartment or rear seat
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Under the following situations, the brightness of the surrounding area can not be detected accurately, and there is a case where the high beam is a nui­sance to pedestrians or the vehicle ahead, or low beam will remain to con­tinue. In these cases, change high beam or low beam manually. When lights are similar to headlights or taillights are around When the vehicle in front of you is driv­ing without lights When the headlights of oncoming vehi­cle are covered in dirt or discolored When the optical axis of the headlight of oncoming vehicle is deviated When the brightness is changed extremely and continuously When driving on an undulated or bumpy road When driving on the road with a lot of curves When there are things that strongly reflect light, such as road signs or mir­rors in front of the vehicle When the rear part of the preceding vehicle strongly reflects light, such as containers When the headlights of your car are damaged or covered in dirt When the vehicle is tilted due to the flat tyres or being towed
