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, make sure 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, 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.
4-Wheel Drive (4WD)
Your vehicle should be towed under one of
the following conditions:
1) With all four wheels on a flat-bed truck.
2) With the front or rear wheels lifted and a
dolly under the other wheels.
If the Starter Does Not Operate
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.
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.
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.
NOTICE
Towing the 4WD automatic transaxle
vehicle with four wheels on the
ground can result in damage to the
automatic transaxle and/or the 4WD
system.
