Maximum towing capacity
(gross trailer weight; trailer with inte-
grated drawbar, and cargo)
Braked trailer: 1300 kg (2866 lbs)
Unbraked trailer: 350 kg (772 lbs)
WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual
camera brake support, if your vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, press the dual
camera brake support OFF switch to
turn off the dual camera brake sup-
port. If not, accidents related to the
system being turned on may occur.
CAUTION
When towing by your vehicle
equipped with automatic transmis-
sion on a long steep uphill, try to take
some rest on the way at a safe place
to prevent overheat or damage of the
engine or transmission.
NOTICE
Trailer towing puts additional stress
on the engine, transmission and
brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a
trailer during the first 1000 km (600
miles) of vehicle operation.
Tow bars
Only use a tow bar that is designed to
attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a
hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar.
We recommend that you use a genuine
SUZUKI tow bar kit (available as an
option), or equivalent.
WARNING
Never use a tow bar which attaches
to the axle or the bumper of your
vehicle.
For vehicles where the towing device
blocks any of the lights or license plate,
observe the following points:
• Do not use the towing devices that can-
not be easily removed or repositioned.
• The towing devices must be removed or
repositioned when not in use.
VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
Safety chains
Always attach safety chains between your
vehicle and the trailer. Cross safety chains
under the nose of the trailer so that the
nose will not drop to the road if the trailer
becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol-
low the manufacturer's recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always leave
just enough slack to permit full turning.
Never allow safety chains to drag on the
road.
WARNING
Never attach safety chains to the
bumper of your vehicle. Secure con-
nections so that they cannot come
loose.
