EMERGENCY SERVICE
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, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mount bolt (3)) of the engine
of the vehicle with the discharged
battery (1).
WARNING
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump lead to the engine
mount bolt securely. If the jump lead
disconnects from the engine mount
bolt because of vibration at the start
of the engine, the jump lead could be
caught in the drive belts.
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.

Towing

If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional service. An autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer can provide you with
detailed towing instructions.
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.
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
Towing your vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground can result in
damage to the CVT.
2-wheel drive (2WD) manual tran-
saxle
Manual transaxle 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, check that the
parking brake is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and the front wheels on the
ground, provided the steering and
drivetrain are in operational condition.
Before towing, check that transaxle is in
neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked
(the ignition key should be in "ACC"
position), and the steering wheel is
secured with a clamping
designed for towing service.
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.
