How to Use the Kit’s Compressor to

Inflate a Tire

WARNING

Be sure to check the tire pressure

and confirm the completion of the

emergency repair after 10 minutes or

5 km (3 mile) of running.

1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.

Set the parking brake firmly and shift

into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has a CVT,

or shift into “R” (Reverse) if your vehicle

has a manual transaxle.

2) Take out the compressor.

3) Unscrew the valve cap from the tire

valve.

4) Connect the air hose of the compressor

to the tire valve.

5) Connect the power plug of the com-

pressor to the accessory socket. Start

sure.

12)Carry on driving carefully to the nearest

SUZUKI Dealer or a tire repair shop.

NOTICE

Have the tire renewed at the nearest

SUZUKI Dealer. When repair to reuse

the sealed tire, consult a tire repair

shop.

The wheel can be reused after wiping

sealant off completely with cloth in

order not to rust, but the tire valve

must be renewed.

Dispose of the sealant bottle at a

SUZUKI dealer or in accordance with

your regional codes and practices.

After using the sealant bottle, replace

it with a new bottle from your SUZUKI

dealer.

WARNING

Do not affix the speed restriction

label to the air bag. Also do not affix

it to the warning light indicator or to

the speedometer.

13)After 10 minutes or 5 km (3 mile) run-

ning, check the tire pressure with the

pressure gauge of the compressor. If

the air pressure is indicated more than

130 kPa (1.3 bar), the emergency

repair is completed. But, if the air pres-

sure is indicated less than the required

air pressure, correct the tire pressure to

the required air pressure. If the tire

pressure has dropped below 130 kPa

(1.3 bar), the Flat Tire Repair Kit cannot

provide the necessary seal. Do not

drive on and consult a SUZUKI Dealer

or a Roadside Assistance Service.

NOTICE

Do not operate the compressor for

longer than 10 minutes. It can cause

overheating of the compressor.

hydrogen gas. Keep flames and

sparks away from the battery or an

explosion may occur. Never smoke

when working in the vicinity of the

battery.

• If the booster battery you use for

jump starting is installed in another

vehicle, make sure the two vehicles

are not touching each other.

• If your battery discharges repeat-

edly, for no apparent reason, have

your vehicle inspected by an autho-

rized SUZUKI dealer.

• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-

age to your vehicle or battery, fol-

low the jump starting instructions

below precisely and in order.

If you are in doubt, call for qualified

road service.

Towing

WARNING

If you need to have your vehicle towed,

contact a professional service. Your dealer

can provide you with detailed towing

instructions.

Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed

using either of the following methods.

Never connect the jump lead directly

to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-

charged battery, or an explosion may

occur.

1) From the front, with the front wheels

lifted and the rear wheels on the

ground. Before towing, make sure that

the parking brake is released.

NOTICE

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

flat battery.

6) Remove the jump leads in the exact

reverse order in which you connected

them.

To help avoid damage to your vehicle

during towing, proper equipment and

towing procedures must be used.

2) From the rear, with the rear wheels

lifted and the front wheels on the

ground, provided the steering and driv-

etrain are in operational condition.

Before towing, make sure that transaxle

is in neutral, the steering wheel is

unlocked (vehicle without keyless push

start system - the ignition key should be

in the “ACC” position) (vehicle with key-

less push start system - the ignition

mode is “ACC”), and the steering wheel

is secured with a clamping device

designed for towing service.

2-Wheel Drive (2WD) CVT

CVT vehicles may be towed using either of

the following methods.

1) From the front, with the front wheels

lifted and the rear wheels on the

ground. Before towing, make sure that

the parking brake is released.

2) From the rear, with the rear wheels

lifted and a dolly under the front wheels.

NOTICE

The steering column is not strong

enough to withstand shocks trans-

mitted from the front wheels during

towing. Always unlock the steering

wheel before towing.

Towing your vehicle with the front

wheels on the ground can result in

damage to the CVT.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

If the Starter Does Not

Operate

If the Engine is Flooded

If the Engine Overheats

(Vehicle without Keyless Push Start System)

If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it

may be hard to start. If this happens, press

the accelerator pedal all the way to the

floor and hold it there while cranking the

engine. (Do not operate the starter motor

for more than 15 seconds).

The engine could overheat temporarily

under severe driving conditions. If the

engine coolant temperature gauge indi-

cates overheating during driving:

1) Try turning the ignition switch to the

“START” position or try pressing the

engine switch to change the ignition

mode to “START” with the headlights

turned on to determine the battery con-

dition. If the headlights go excessively

dim or go off, it usually means that

either the battery is flat or the battery

terminal contact is poor. Recharge the

battery or correct battery terminal con-

tact as necessary.

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.

2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and

park.

3) Let the engine run at the normal idle

speed for a few minutes until the indica-

tor is within the normal, acceptable

temperature range between “H” and

“C”.

(Vehicle with Keyless Push Start System)

If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it

may be hard to start. If this happens, press

the accelerator pedal all the way to the

floor and hold it there while cranking the

engine. (Do not operate the starter motor

for more than 12 seconds).

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 your authorized

SUZUKI dealer.

WARNING

If you see or hear escaping steam,

stop the vehicle in a safe place and

immediately turn off the engine to let

it cool. 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.

NOTE:

If the engine refuses to start, the starter

motor automatically stops after a certain

period of time. After the starter motor has

automatically stopped or there is anything

abnormal in the engine starting system,

the starter motor runs only while the

engine switch is held pressed.

8-11

58MS0-14E

EMERGENCY SERVICE

If the temperature indication does not

come down to within the normal, accept-

able 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 the “LOW”

line, look for leaks at the radiator, water

pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If

you locate any leaks that may have

caused the overheating, do not run the

engine until these problems have been

corrected.

79J007

3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir and then the

radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine

Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE” section.)

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 temper-

ature has lowered.

• To help prevent personal injury,

keep hands, tools and clothing

away from the engine cooling fan

and

air-conditioner

fan

(if

equipped). These electric fans can

automatically turn on without warn-

ing.
