Roof rack anchors

68PM00523

You can use the roof rack anchors to

attach the optional roof rack which is avail-

able at your SUZUKI dealer. If you use a

roof rack, observe the instructions and pre-

cautions in this section and provided with

the roof rack.

• Check that the roof rack is securely

installed.

• To mount various types of cargo (such

as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-

able attachments which are available at

your SUZUKI dealer. Install the attach-

ments properly and securely according

to the instructions provided. Do not

mount cargo directly on the roof panel.

The cargo can damage the roof panel.

• The gross weight of the roof rack plus

cargo must not exceed the loading

capacity (50 kg (110 lbs)).

Also, do not let the gross vehicle weight

(fully loaded vehicle including driver,

passengers, cargo, roof load and trailer

tongue weight) exceed the Gross Vehi-

cle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in

“SPECIFICATIONS” section.

• Mount and secure the cargo onto the

roof rack properly according to the

instructions provided. Stow the heaviest

items at the bottom and distribute the

cargo as evenly as possible.

• Do not carry large items that hang over

the bumpers or the sides of the vehicle.

Otherwise, these items could block your

view.

• Secure the front and rear ends of long

items such as wood panels and surf-

boards, to both the front and rear of the

vehicle. You should protect the painted

surfaces of the vehicle from scuffing

caused by tie-down ropes.

• Check periodically that the roof rack is

securely installed and free from damage.

• For vehicles with roof rack anchors,

check that the anchors are covered with

the caps when not in use.

Your SUZUKI does not recommend you

The towing hook (1) is provided on the

front of the vehicle for use in emergency

situations only.

WARNING

• Abrupt maneuvers or failure to

properly secure cargo can allow

the cargo to fly off the vehicle and

hit others, causing personal injury

or property damage.

• Mount cargo securely and avoid

abrupt maneuvers such as jackrab-

bit starts, sharp turns, fast corner-

ing and sudden braking. Check

periodically that cargo is securely

fastened.

• Large, bulky, long or flat items can

affect vehicle aerodynamics or be

caught by the wind, and can reduce

vehicle control resulting in an acci-

dent and personal injury. Drive cau-

tiously at a safely reduced speed

when carrying this type of cargo.

WARNING

Observe the following instructions

when using frame hooks. The towing

hook or vehicle body may break and

cause serious injury or damage:

• Do not use the frame hooks for

towing another vehicle.

• Avoid pulling the vehicle to get out

of severe snowy, muddy or sandy

conditions, sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which could

cause excessive stress on the tow-

ing hook.

In such case, we recommend that

you contact a professional service.
