CAUTIONThe fuel tank has an air space toallow for fuel expansion in hotweather. If you continue to add fuelafter the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off or an initial blowbackoccurs, the air chamber will becomefull. Exposure to heat when fullyfuelled in this manner will result inleakage due to fuel expansion. Toprevent such fuel leakage, stop fillingafter the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off, or when using an alter-native non automatic system, initialvent blowback occurs.

CAUTIONBe careful not to spill fuel containingalcohol while refueling. If fuel isspilled on the vehicle body, wipe it upimmediately. Fuels containing alco-hol can cause paint damage, which isnot covered under the New VehicleLimited Warranty.

Restraint System (air bags)” section tolearn more about the pretensioner system.

The seat belt pretensioner system workswith the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTSYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensorsand the electronic controller of the air bagsystem also control the seat belt preten-sioners. When the air bags are triggered,the pretensioners are also triggered. Forprecautions and general informationincluding servicing the pretensioner sys-tem, refer to the “Supplemental RestraintSystem (air bags)” section in addition tothis “Seat Belt Pretensioner System” sec-tion, and follow all those precautions.

The pretensioner is located in each frontseat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-ens the seat belt so the belt fits the occu-pant’s body more snugly in the event of afrontal crash. The retractors will remainlocked after the pretensioners are acti-vated. Upon activation, some noise willoccur and some smoke may be released.These conditions are not harmful and donot indicate a fire in the vehicle.

The driver and all passengers must beproperly restrained by wearing seat beltsat all times, whether or not a pretensioneris equipped at their seating position, tominimize the risk of severe injury or deathin the event of a crash.

5D236

5D237

Air bags are designed to inflate only insevere frontal collisions. They are notdesigned to inflate in rear impacts, sideimpacts, rollovers or minor frontal colli-sions, since they would offer no protectionin those types of accidents. Also, since anair bag deploys only one time during anaccident, seat belts are needed to restrainoccupants from further movements duringthe accident.

Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitutefor seat belts. To maximize your protection,ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Beaware that no system can prevent all pos-sible injuries that may occur in an accident.

(1) Air bag(2) Sensor & controller(3) Seat belt pretensioner

In a frontal collision, the crash sensors willdetect rapid deceleration and send a signalto the controller. If the controller judgesthat the deceleration represents a severefrontal crash, the controller will trigger theinflators. The inflators inflate the air bagswith nitrogen or argon gas. The inflated airbags provide a cushion for your head andupper body. The air bag inflates anddeflates so quickly that you may not evenrealize that it has activated. The air bag willneither hinder your view nor make it harderto exit the vehicle.

Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefullyin order to reduce the chance of serious or

consequence of the quick inflation is the air bag may irritate bare skin, sucthe facial area. Also, upon inflation, a noise will occur and some powder smoke will be released. These conditare not harmful and do not indicate a fithe car. Be aware, however, that somebag components may be hot for a wafter inflation.

A seat belt helps keep you in the prposition for maximum protection whenair bag inflates. Adjust your seat asback as possible while still maintaicontrol of the vehicle. Sit fully back in seat; sit up straight; do not lean oversteering wheel or dashboard.

Engine Oil ConsumptionIt is normal for the engine to consumesome engine oil during normal vehicleoperation.

The amount of engine oil consumeddepends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions thevehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler-ation and deceleration. Under high loads,your engine also will consume more oil. A new engine also consumes more oil,since its pistons, piston rings and cylinderwalls have not yet become conditioned.New engines reach the normal level of oilconsumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.

Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)

When judging the amount of oil consump-tion, note that the oil may become dilutedand make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used forrepeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may notshow any drop in the oil level at all, evenafter 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is graduallybecoming diluted with fuel or moisture,making it appear that the oil level has notchanged.

Keep the engine speed so it does not getinto the red zone of tachometer.

WARNING• Reduce your speed and change

down to a lower gear before goingdown a long or steep hill. A lowergear will allow the engine to pro-vide braking. Avoid riding thebrakes or they may overheat,resulting in brake failure.

• When driving on slippery roads, besure to slow down before changingdown. Excessive and or suddenchanges in engine speed maycause loss of traction, which couldcause you to lose control.

WARNING• On some types of loose surfaces

(such as gravel, snow-coveredroads, etc.) the stopping distancerequired for an ABS-equipped vehi-cle may be slightly greater than fora comparable vehicle with a con-ventional brake system. With aconventional brake system, skid-ding tires are able to “plow” thegravel or snow layer, shorteningthe stopping distance, ABS mini-mizes this resistance effect. Allowfor extra stopping distance whendriving on loose surfaces.

• On regular paved roads, some driv-ers may be able to obtain slightlyshorter stopping distances withconventional brake systems thanwith ABS.

• In both of the above conditions,ABS will still offer the advantage ofhelping you maintain directionalcontrol. However, remember thatABS will not compensate for badroad or weather conditions or poordriver judgment. Use good judg-ment and do not drive faster thanconditions will safely allow.

Catalytic Converter: NO

Servo Assisted BrakesYour vehicle has servo assisted brakes. Ifservo assistance is lost due to a stalledengine or other failures, the system is stillfully operational on reserve power and youcan bring the vehicle to a complete stop bypressing the brake pedal once and holdingit down. The reserve power is partly usedup when you depress the brake pedal andreduces each time the pedal is pressed.Apply smooth and even pressure to thepedal. Do not pump the pedal.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)ABS will help you avoid skidding by etronically controlling braking pressurwill also help you maintain steering cowhen braking on slippery surfaces or wbraking hard.The ABS works automatically, so younot need any special braking techniJust push the brake pedal down witpumping. The ABS will operate whenevsenses that the wheels are locking up.may feel the brake pedal moves a while the ABS is operating.

NOTE:The ABS will not work if vehicle speeunder about 6 km/h (4 mph).

WARNINGIf water gets into the brake drums,brake performance may become poorand unpredictable. After drivingthrough water or washing the under-side of the vehicle, test the brakeswhile driving at a slow speed to see ifthey have maintained their normaleffectiveness. If the brakes are lesseffective than normal, dry them byrepeatedly applying the brakes whiledriving slowly until the brakes haveregained their normal effectiveness.

WARNINGEven without reserve power in tbrake system, you can still stop tvehicle by pressing the brake pedharder than normally required. Hoever, the stopping distance may longer.


61JS2-01E

How the ABS WorksA computer continuously monitors wheelspeed. The computer compares thechanges in wheel speed when braking. Ifthe wheels slow suddenly, indicating askidding situation, the computer willchange braking pressure several timeseach second to prevent the wheels fromlocking. When you start your vehicle orwhen you accelerate after a hard stop, youmay hear a momentary motor or clickingsound as the system resets or checksitself.

WARNINGThe ABS may not work properly iftires or wheels other than thosespecified in the owner’s manual areused. This is because the ABS worksby comparing changes in wheelspeed. When replacing tires orwheels, use only the size and typespecified in this owner’s manual.

Keep the air cleaner clean

60A183S

A dirty air cleaner will cause the carbure-tion system to supply too much fuel to theengine for the amount of air being sup-plied. The result is waste of fuel due toincomplete combustion.

Keep weight to a minimumThe heavier the load, the more fuel thevehicle consumes. Take out any luggageor cargo when it is not necessary.

Keep tyre pressures correctUnderinflation of the tyres can waste fueldue to increased running resistance of thetyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the cor-rect pressure shown on the label on thedriver’s side door or the driver’s door lockpillar.

The following instructions will help improve fuel economy.

Avoid excessive idlingIf you are to wait for more than a miwhile you are parked, stop the engine start it again later. When warming ucold engine, allow the engine to idle the temperature gauge pointer comesto the “C” position (if the idling is not hibited). In this position, the engine is sciently warm for starting off.

Avoid “fast” startsFast starts away from lights or stop swill consume fuel unnecessarily shorten engine life. Start off slowly.

Avoid unnecessary stopsAvoid unnecessary deceleration and sping. Try to maintain a slow, steady spwhenever possible. Slowing down and accelerating again uses more fuel.

Keep a steady cruising speedKeep as constant a speed as road and fic conditions will permit.

WARNINGBe careful where you park and drive;the catalytic converter and otherexhaust components can get veryhot. As with any vehicle, do not parkor operate this vehicle in areas wherecombustible materials such as drygrass or leaves can come in contactwith a hot exhaust system.

If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, orsand, follow the directions below:

1) Change back and forth between a for-ward range (or first gear for manualtransmission) and reverse. This will cre-ate a rocking motion which may giveyou enough momentum to free thevehicle. Press gently on the acceleratorto keep wheel spin to a minimum.Remove your foot from the acceleratorwhile changing gear. Do not race the engine. Excessivewheel spin will cause the tyres to digdeeper, making it more difficult to freethe vehicle.

2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a fewminutes of rocking, get another vehicleto pull you out.

WARNING(Continued)• Never use oversized tyres or spe-

cial shock absorbers and springsto raise (jack up) your vehicle. Thiswill change the handling character-istics. Oversized tyres may also rubagainst the fender over bumps,causing vehicle damage or tyre fail-ure.

• After driving through water, test thebrakes while driving at a slowspeed to see if they have main-tained their normal effectiveness. Ifthe brakes are less effective thannormal, dry them by repeatedlyapplying the brakes while drivingslowly until the brakes haveregained their normal effective-ness.

WARNINGDo not allow anyone to stand near thevehicle when you are rocking it, anddo not spin the wheels faster than anindicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on thespeedometer. Personal injury and/ orvehicle damage may result from spin-ning the wheels too fast.

CAUTIONDo not continue rocking the vehiclefor more than a few minutes. Pro-longed rocking can cause engineoverheating or transmission damage. WARNING

In addition to following the drivitips in this section, it is importantobserve the following precautions.• Make sure your tyres are in go

condition and always maintain tspecified tyre pressure. Refer “Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AMAINTENANCE” section details.

• Do not use tyres other than thospecified by SUZUKI. Never use dferent sizes or types of tyres on tfront and rear wheels. For informtion regarding the specified tyrrefer to the Tyre Inflation PressuLabel located on the driver’s sdoor pillar.

Vehicle Loading Trailer TowingYour SUZUKI was originally designed tocarry people and a normal amount ofcargo, not to tow a trailer. SUZUKI doesnot recommend you use your vehicle totow a trailer if there is not any local regula-tion about towing capacity permitted (forexample, registered or statutory towingcapacity). Towing a trailer can adverselyaffect handling, durability, and fuel econ-omy.

Your vehicle was designed for specificweight capacities. The weight capacities ofyour vehicle are indicated by the GrossVehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and theGross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, frontand rear). The GVWR and GAWR (frontand rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA-TIONS” section.

GVWR – Maximum permissible overallweight of the fully loaded vehicle (includingall the occupants, accessories and cargo).GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-missible weight on an individual axle.

Actual weight of the loaded vehicle andactual loads at the front and rear axles canonly be determined by weighing the vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWRand GAWR (front and rear). If the grossvehicle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must removeenough weight to bring the load down tothe rated capacity.

WARNINGNever overload your vehicle. Tgross vehicle weight (sum of tweights of the vehicle, all the occpants, accessories and cargo) munever exceed the Gross VehiWeight Rating (GVWR). In additionever distribute a load so that tweight on either the front or rear aexceeds the Gross Axle Weight Ring (GAWR).

WARNINGAlways distribute cargo evenly. avoid personal injury or damage your vehicle, always secure cargoprevent it from shifting if the vehimoves suddenly. Place heavobjects on the floor and as far fward in the cargo area as possibNever pile cargo higher than the tof the seat backs.
