Engine Trouble: Starter Does
Not Operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to
“START” position 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 discharged or the
battery terminal contact is poor.
Recharge the battery or correct battery
terminal contact 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 or a
qualified workshop.
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 floor and hold it while crank-
ing the engine.
Refer to “Starting the Engine” in OPERAT-
ING YOUR VEHICLE section.
If the engine still does not start, have your
vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop.
• Do not operate the starter motor for
more than 12 seconds.
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.
