Jump-starting instructions

A. WARNING

Never attempt to jump-start your

vehicle if the lead-acid battery

appears to be frozen. Batteries in

this condition may explode.

When making jump lead connec-

tions, check that your hands and

the jump leads remain clear from

pulleys, belts or fans.

Lead-acid batteries produce flam-

mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames

and sparks away from the battery

or an explosion may occur. Never

smoke when working near the bat-

tery.

If the booster battery you use for

jump-starting is installed in another

vehicle, check that the two vehicles

are not touching each other.

If your lead-acid battery discharges

repeatedly, for no apparent reason,

have your vehicle inspected by a

SUZUKI dealer.

• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-

age to your vehicle or battery, fol-

low the jump-starting instructions

below.

If you are in doubt, call for qualified

road service.

NOTICE

Your vehicle should not be started by

pushing or towing. This starting

method could result in permanent

damage to the catalytic converter.

Use jump leads to start a vehicle with

a weak or flat battery.

1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to

jump-start your vehicle. Position the

good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to

your vehicle so that the jump leads will

reach both batteries. When using a bat-

tery installed on another vehicle, check

that two vehicles do not touch each

other. Set the parking brakes fully on

both vehicles.

2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except

those necessary for safety reasons (for

example, headlights or hazard lights).

78R808004

3) Connect jump leads as follows:

1. Connect one end of the first jump

lead to the positive (+) terminal of

the discharged battery (1 ).

2. Connect the other end to the positive

(+) terminal of the booster battery

(2).

3. Connect one end of the second jump

lead to the negative (-) terminal of

the booster battery (2).

4. Make the final connection to an

unpainted metal part (3) of engine

cylinder head in the vehicle with the

discharged battery (1 ).

A WARNING

Never connect the jump lead directly

to the negative (-) terminal of the dis-

charged battery, or an explosion may

occur.

4) If the booster battery you are using is

fitted to another vehicle, start the

engine of the vehicle with the booster

battery. Run the engine at moderate

speed.

5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the

discharged battery.

6) Remove the jump leads in the exact

reverse order in which you connected

them.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

Towing your vehicle

(recreational towing)

If you need to have your vehicle towed,

contact a professional service. A SUZUKI

dealer can provide you with detailed tow-

ing instructions.

A WARNING

When you tow your vehicle, follow

the instructions below to avoid acci-

dents and damage to your vehicle. In

addition, be sure to observe govern-

ment and local requirements regard-

ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitches

or tow bars.

7-6

EMERGENCY SERVICE

A safety chain should always be used

when you tow your vehicle.

NOTICE

Do not tow your vehicle with the rear

wheels directly on the ground (and

the transmission in neutral). If you

do, the transmission will be damaged

7-7

--------·--··---------------

A WARNING

For vehicles equipped with the dual

sensor brake support, if your vehicle

is towed with the engine on, press

dual sensor brake support OFF

switch and turn off the dual sensor

brake support. If not, accidents

related to the system being turned on

may occur.

NOTICE

Observe the following instructions

when towing your vehicle.

To help avoid damage to your vehi-

cle during towing, proper equip-

ment and towing procedures must

be used.

• Using the frame hook, tow your

vehicle on paved roads for short

distances at low speed.

Before towing

78RB08008

If you tow your vehicle with the front

wheels on the ground, shift the transmis-

sion into Neutral and make sure the 4WD

indicator on the instrument cluster comes

on when you use the transfer lever to shift

into 4-wheel drive high range position

("4H") and goes off when you use the

transfer lever to shift into 2-wheel high

drive position ("2H") with the engine run-

ning. If the 4WD indicator does not come

on or it does not go off, that means, the air-

locking hubs cannot be locked or

unlocked, the vehicle must be towed with

the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels

on a dolly.

Towing a Disabled Vehicle

If your vehicle is disabled, and if the steer-

ing and drive train are in good condition

(and the engine can be started for 4WD

vehicles), the vehicle can be towed

according to the instructions in this section.

Your vehicle may also be towed by a tow

truck with the front or rear wheels lifted,

according to the instructions below.

Front wheels lifted (all models)

Rear wheels lifted

Your vehicle may be towed by a tow truck

with the rear wheels lifted and the front

wheels on the ground. Towing speed

should not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).

For this type of towing:

1) Shift the manual transmission to Neu-

tral or the automatic transmission to "P"

position and start the. engine.

2) Shift the transfer lever to 2WD position

("2H").

3) Make sure the 4WD indicator on the

instrument cluster is turned off.

NOTICE

If the air-locking hubs cannot be

unlocked, tow the vehicle with the

rear wheels lifted and a dolly under

the front wheels.

4) Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" posi-

tion to stop the engine and to unlock

the steering wheel.

NOTICE

The steering column lock is not

strong enough to withstand shocks

transmitted from the front wheels

during towing.

5) Make sure the front wheels are facing

straight forward and secure the steering

wheel with a steering wheel clamping

device designed for towing service.

Engine trouble: Starter does

not operate

1) Try turning the ignition switch to

"START" position with the headlights

turned on to determine the lead-acid

battery condition. If the headlights go

excessively dim or go off, it usually

means that either the lead-acid battery

is discharged or the battery terminal

contact is poor. Recharge the lead-acid

battery or correct battery terminal con-

tact as necessary.

2) If the headlights remain bright, check

the fuses. If the reason for failure of the

starter is not obvious, there may be a

major electrical problem. Have the vehi-

cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

Engine trouble: Does not start

Make sure that your vehicle has enough ·

fuel and battery.

If the engine does not start under very cold

condition, press the accelerator pedal all

the way to the fioor and hold it while crank-

ing the engine.

Refer to "Starting engine" in operating your

vehicle section.

If the engine still does not start have your

vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer.

Do not operate the starter motor for

more than 12 seconds.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

Engine trouble: Overheating

The engine could overheat temporarily

under severe driving conditions. If the high

engine coolant temperature warning light

comes on as overheating or the engine

coolant temperature gauge indicates over-

heating during driving:

1) Turn off the air conditioner.

2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and

park.

3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed

for a few minutes until the high engine

coolant temperature warning light goes

off or the indicator is within the normal,

acceptable temperature range between

"H" and "C".

A WARNING

If you see or hear escaping steam,

stop the vehicle in a safe place and

immediately turn off the engine to

cool it. Do not open the hood when

steam is present. When the steam

can no longer be seen or heard, open

the hood to see if the coolant is still

boiling. If it is, you must wait until it

stops boiling before you proceed.

7-10

EMERGENCY SERVICE

If the high engine coolant temperature

warning light does not go off or the tem-

perature indication does not come down to

within the normal, acceptable range:

1) Turn off the engine and check that the

water pump belt and pulleys are not

damaged or slipping. If any abnormality

is found, correct it.

2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.

If it is found to be lower than "LOW"

line, check radiator, water pump, radia-

tor hoses and heater hoses for leakage.

If leakage that may cause overheating

is found, do not run the engine until

these problems have been corrected.

3) If leakage is not found, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir and then the

radiator, if necessary. (Refer to "Engine

coolant" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN-

TENANCE" section.)

NOTE:

If engine overheats and you are not sure

what to do, contact a SUZUKI dealer.

7-11

650614

A WARNING

• It is hazardous to remove the radia-

tor cap when the water temperature

is high, because scalding fluid and

steam may be blown out under

pressure. The cap should only be

taken off when the coolant tem-

perature has lowered.

To help prevent personal injury,

keep hands, tools and clothing

away from the engine cooling fan

and air-conditioner fan. These elec-

tric fans can automatically turn on

without warning.
