FOREWORD

Your SUZUKI multipurpose vehicle is

designed and built to be capable of per-

forming both on pavement and off road.

You should therefore remember that your

vehicle is distinctly different from ordinary

passenger cars in handling as well as in

structure. As with other vehicles of this

which follow. It is very important to familiar-

ize yourself with the proper operation of

this vehicle before you start driving.

on the latest product information avail-

able at the time of publication. Due to

improvements or other changes, there

may be discrepancies between informa-

tion in this manual and your vehicle.

SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION

reserves the right to make production

changes at any time, without notice and

without incurring any obligation to

make the same or similar changes to

vehicles previously built or sold.

SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION

believes in conservation and protection of

Earth’s natural resources.

To that end, we encourage every vehicle

owner to recycle, trade in, or properly dis-

pose of, as appropriate, used motor oil,

coolant, and other fluids, batteries and

tires.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

Fuel Recommendation …………………………….…………………. 1-1

1-1

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

79K21-03E

Fuel Recommendation

60A004

Your vehicle requires regular unleaded

gasoline with a minimum rating of 87 pump

octane ((R + M)/2 method). In some areas,

the only fuels that are available are oxy-

genated fuels.

Oxygenated fuels which meet the mini-

mum octane requirement and the require-

ments described below may be used in

your vehicle without jeopardizing the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

NOTE:

Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain

oxygen-carrying additives such as MTBE

or alcohol.

Gasoline Containing MTBE

Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE

(methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in

your vehicle if the MTBE content is not

greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel

does not contain alcohol.

Gasoline/Ethanol blends

Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol

(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol,

may be used in your vehicle if the ethanol

content is not greater than 10%.

Gasoline/Methanol blends

Fuels containing 5% or less methanol

(wood alcohol) may be suitable for use in

your vehicle if they contain cosolvents and

corrosion inhibitors. Do NOT USE fuels

containing more than 5% methanol under

any circumstances. Fuel system damage

or vehicle performance problems resulting

from the use of such fuels are not the

responsibility of SUZUKI and may not be

covered under the New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

Fuel Pump Labeling

In some states, pumps that dispense oxy-

genated fuels are required to be labeled for

the type and percentage of oxygenate and

whether important additives are present.

Such labels may provide enough informa-

tion for you to determine if a particular

blend of fuel meets the requirements listed

above. In other areas, pumps may not be

clearly labeled as to the content or type of

oxygenate and additives. If you are not

sure that the fuel you intend to use meets

these requirements, check with the service

station operator or the fuel supplier.

NOTE:

To help clean the air, SUZUKI recom-

mends you use the oxygenated fuels.

However, if you are not satisfied with the

driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle

when you are using an oxygenated fuel,

switch back to the regular unleaded gaso-

line.

CAUTION

Be careful not to spill fuel containing

alcohol while refueling. If fuel is

spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up

immediately. Fuels containing alco-

hol can cause paint damage, which is

not covered under the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

Rear Seats

Seat Adjustment

Adjusting Seatbacks

64J019

To adjust the seatback angle of the rear

seats:

1) Pull up the lever on the top of a split

folding seat.

2) Move the seatback to one of the lock

positions. The number of the lock posi-

tions depends on the vehicle specifica-

tion.

3) Release the lever to lock the seatback

in position. After adjustment, try moving

the seatback to make sure it is securely

locked.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the heater ele-

ment:

• Do not subject the front seats to

heavy impacts, such as children

jumping on them.

• Do not cover the seat with any

insulating materials such as blan-

kets or cushions.

WARNING

To avoid excessive seat belt slack,

which reduces the effectiveness of

the seat belts as a safety device,

make sure that the seats are adjusted

before the seat belts are fastened.

WARNING

All seatbacks should always be in an

upright position when driving, or seat

belt effectiveness may be reduced.

Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-

mum protection when seatbacks are

in the upright position.

Head Restraints

Head restraints are designed to help

reduce the risk of neck injuries in case of

an accident. Adjust the head restraint to

the position which places the center of the

head restraint closest to the top of your

ears. If this is not possible for very tall pas-

sengers, adjust the head restraint as high

as possible.

79K088

Your vehicle is equipped with three head

restraints on the rear seat.

79K095

(1) Head restraint

(2) Bars

(3) Release knob

To raise the rear head restraint, pull

upward on the restraint until it clicks. To

lower the restraint, push down on the

restraint while holding in the release knob

(3). If a head restraint must be removed

(for cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in

the release knob and pull the head

restraint all the way out.

When installing a child restraint system,

raise the head restraint to the most upper

position.

WARNING

All occupants, including the driver,

should not operate a vehicle or sit in

a vehicle’s seat until the head

restraints are placed in their proper

positions in order to minimize the

risk of severe injury in the event of a

crash.

WARNING

All head restraints must be rein-

stalled to properly protect vehicle

occupants.

WARNING

• Never drive the vehicle with the

head restraints removed.

• Do not attempt to adjust the head

restraint while driving.

WARNING

When returning the rear seat cushion

to the normal position, be careful that

your finger is not caught between the

lock and the floor.

CAUTION

• When returning the rear seat cush-

ion to the normal position, make

sure that there is nothing around

the striker. Any foreign materials

prevent the seat cushion from

being locked securely.

• When returning the rear seat cush-

ion to the normal position, make

sure that there is nothing under the

seat cushion. This prevents dam-

age to the seat cushion.

WARNING

An air bag supplements, or adds to,

the frontal crash protection offered

by seat belts. The driver and all pas-

sengers must be properly restrained

by wearing seat belts at all times,

whether or not an air bag is mounted

at their seating position, to minimize

the risk of severe injury or death in

the event of a crash.

WARNING

• Never allow persons to ride in the

cargo area of a vehicle. In the event

of an accident, there is a much

greater risk of injury for persons

who are not riding in a seat with

their seat belt securely fastened.

• Seat belts should always be

adjusted as follows:

– the lap portion of the belt should

be worn low across the pelvis,

not across the waist.

– the shoulder straps should be

worn on the outside shoulder

only, and never under the arm.

– the shoulder straps should be

away from your face and neck,

but not falling off your shoulder.

(Continued)

Above the pelvis

WARNING

(Continued)

• Seat belts should never be worn

with the straps twisted and should

be adjusted as tightly as is com-

fortable to provide the protection

for which they have been designed.

A slack belt will provide less pro-

tection than one which is snug.

(Continued)

Across the pelvis

WARNING

(Continued)

• Pregnant women should use seat

belts, although specific recommen-

dations about driving should be

made by the woman’s medical advi-

sor. Remember that the lap portion

of the belt should be worn as low

as possible across the hips, as

shown in the diagram.

• Make sure that each seat belt

buckle is inserted into the proper

buckle catch. It is possible to cross

the buckles in the rear seat.

Lap-Shoulder Belt

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

The lap-shoulder seat belt has an emer-

gency locking retractor (ELR), which is

designed to lock the seat belt only during a

sudden stop or impact. It also may lock if

you pull the belt across your body very

quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back

to unlock it, then pull the belt across your

body more slowly.

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The front passenger’s seat belt and the

rear seat belts have emergency locking

retractors (ELRs) that can be temporarily

converted to function as automatic locking

retractors (ALRs). The ALR mode should

be used if you need to secure a child

restraint system in the seat. Refer to the

“Child Restraint Systems” section for

details.

WARNING

(Continued)

• Do not wear your seat belt over

hard or breakable objects in your

pockets or on your clothing. If an

accident occurs, objects such as

glasses, pens, etc. under the seat

belt can cause injury.

• Never use the same seat belt on

more than one occupant and never

attach a seat belt over an infant or

child being held on an occupant’s

lap. Such seat belt use could cause

serious injury in the event of an

accident.

• Periodically inspect seat belt

assemblies for excessive wear and

damage. Seat belts should be

replaced if webbing becomes

frayed, contaminated, or damaged

in any way. It is essential to replace

the entire seat belt assembly after it

has been worn in a severe impact,

even if damage to the assembly is

not obvious.

• Children age 12 and under should

ride properly restrained in the rear

seat, if equipped.

(Continued)

WARNING

(Continued)

• Infants and small children should

never be transported unless they

are properly restrained. Restraint

systems for infants and small chil-

dren can be purchased commer-

cially and should be used. Make

sure that the system you purchase

meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards. Read and follow all the

directions provided by the manu-

facturer.

• Avoid contamination of seat belt

webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-

cals and particularly battery acid.

Cleaning may safely be carried out

using mild soap and water.

• For children, if the shoulder belt

irritates the neck or face, move the

child closer to the center of the

vehicle.

• All seatbacks should always be in

an upright position when driving,

or seat belt effectiveness may be

reduced. Seat belts are designed to

offer maximum protection when

seatbacks are in the upright posi-

tion.

to buckle their seat belts.

The seat belt reminder functions as shown

in the figure below. There are some differ-

ences between the driver’s seat belt

reminder and the front passenger’s seat

belt reminder. For more details, refer to the

explanation below.

WARNING

It is absolutely essential that the

driver and passengers wear their seat

belts at all times. Persons who are

not wearing seat belts have a much

greater risk of injury if an accident

occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-

ling your seat belt before putting the

key in the ignition.

Driver’s seat belt reminder

If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled

with the ignition key in the “ON” position,

the driver’s seat belt reminder works as fol-

lows:

1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will

come on for about 20 seconds when

the ignition key is turned to the “ON”

position then will blink for about 55 sec-

onds. When the light comes on, a

buzzer will also sound intermittently for

about 6 seconds (Reminder 1).

2) If the vehicle is driven (vehicle speed >

8 km/h), Reminder 2 will operate about

30 seconds after Reminder 1 has fin-

ished.

If the vehicle is not driven (vehicle

speed < 8 km/h), Reminder 2 will oper-

ate when driving starts (vehicle speed >

8 km/h).

3) Reminder 3 will operate about 3 min-

utes after Reminder 2 has finished.

4) Even if the driver’s seat belt remains

unbuckled after Reminder 3, there will

be no further reminders.

If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt

and later unbuckles the seat belt, the

reminder system will be activated from

Reminder 1 or Reminder 2 according to

the vehicle speed. (Refer to the flow chart.)

The driver’s seat belt reminder will be auto-

matically canceled when the driver’s seat

belt is buckled or the ignition switch is

turned off.

Front passenger’s seat belt reminder

The front passenger’s seat belt reminder

will activate only when there is a passen-

ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-

tions, however, such as when you place

heavy objects in the front seat, the seat

belt reminder can be activated as if there

were a passenger present. The front pas-

senger’s seat belt reminder works in the

same manner as the driver’s seat belt

reminder, except that it is not activated

until 10 seconds after the ignition switch is

turned to the “ON” position.

Shoulder anchor height adjuster

(if equipped)

64J198

Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that

the shoulder belt rides on the center of the

outside shoulder. To upward, slide the

anchor up. To downward, slide the anchor

down while pulling the lock knob out. After

adjustment, make sure that the anchor is

securely locked.

WARNING

Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-

tioned on the center of the outside

shoulder. The belt should be away

from your face and neck, but not fall-

ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment

of the belt could reduce the effective-

ness of the safety belt in a crash.
