6-1VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
74LH0-74E
Vehicle LoadingYour vehicle was designed for specific
weight capacities. The weight capacities of
your vehicle are indicated by the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR (front
and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” 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).
GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-
missible 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 GAWR (front and rear). If the gross
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.
Trailer TowingYour MARUTI SUZUKI was originally
designed to carry people and a normal
amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.
MARUTI SUZUKI does not recommend
you use your vehicle to tow a trailer. Tow-
ing a trailer can adversely affect handling,
durability,
Some countries have regulations which
specifically allow trailer towing up to a
specified maximum trailer weight (regis-
tered or statutory towing capacity, which-
ever is smaller); vehicles sold in these
countries can be used to tow a light trailer,
provided the trailer does not exceed the
maximum trailer weight specified in the
country’s regulations.
If you use your MARUTI SUZUKI to tow a
trailer, you should always observe the
requirements and recommendations in this
section. If you intend to tow a trailer, it is
essential to select a trailer and trailer tow-
ing equipment which are compatible. A
reputable towing specialist can help you.
and fuel economy.
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories, cargo plus 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 Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing (GAWR).
WA R N I N G
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always secure cargo to
prevent it from shifting if the vehicle
moves 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.
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.

Ty r e s
MirrorsCheck to see 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 LoadingTo 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
scales.
The weight of your loaded trailer (Gross
Trailer Weight) should never exceed the
“Towing capacity”.
Distribute cargo in your trailer so that nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed “Maximum vertical
load on trailer hitch point”. You should
measure gross trailer weight and nose
weight before towing to make sure that
your load is properly distributed.
WA R N I N G
If trailer brakes are used, you should
follow all instructions provided by
the manufacturer. Never connect to
the brake system of your vehicle and
never take an electrical supply
directly from the wiring harness.
WA R N I N G
When towing a trailer, it is very
important for your vehicle and trailer
to have properly inflated tyres. Your
vehicle’s tyres should be inflated to
the pressures listed on your vehicles
Tyre Information label. If laden pres-
sures are listed on the label, the tyres
should be inflated to the laden pres-
sures. Inflate trailer tyres 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 make sure that trailer nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer
weight, but does not exceed “Maxi-
mum vertical load on trailer hitch
point”. Also make sure that the cargo
is properly secured. Failure to
observe this requirement may result
in an accident.
WA R N I N G
Never overload your trailer or your
vehicle. Gross trailer weight must
never exceed the “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 the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.

Additional Trailer Towing Warnings
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.
WA R N I N G
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. For your safety
and the safety of others, you should
observe the following precautions:
Practice turning, stopping, and
reversing before you begin towing
in traffic. Do not tow in traffic until
you are confident that you can han-
dle the vehicle and trailer safely.
Never exceed towing speed limits
or 80 km/h (50 mph), whichever is
lower.
Never drive at a speed that causes
shaking or swaying of the trailer. If
you notice even the slightest sign
of shaking or swaying, slow down.
When roads are wet, slippery or
rough, drive at a slower speed than
you would on dry, smooth roads.
Failure to slow down when road
conditions are bad can result in
loss of control.
Always have someone guide you
when reversing.
Allow adequate stopping distance.
Stopping distance is increased
when you tow a trailer. For each 16
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at
least one vehicle and trailer length
between you and the vehicle ahead.
Follow at a greater distance if roads
are wet or slippery.
If the trailer has over-run brakes,
apply the brakes gradually to avoid
snatching caused by the trailer
wheels locking.
Slow down before corners and
maintain a steady speed while cor-
nering. Deceleration or accelera-
tion while cornering can result in
loss of control. Remember that a
larger than normal turning radius is
needed because the trailer wheels
will be closer than vehicle wheels
to the inside of the turn.
Avoid sudden acceleration and
stopping of the vehicle. Do not
make quick maneuvers unless they
are necessary.
Slow down in cross winds and be
prepared for gusts of wind from
large passing vehicles.
