OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

You can use the roof rails or the roof rack

anchors to attach the optional roof rack

which is available at your SUZUKI dealer.

If you use a roof rack, observe the instruc-

tions and precautions in this section and

provided with the roof rack.

Otherwise, these items could block your

view.

Frame hooks

• Secure the front and rear ends of long

items such as wood panels and surf-

boards, to both the front and rear of the

vehicle. You should protect the painted

surfaces of the vehicle from scuffing

caused by tie-down ropes.

• Check periodically that the roof rack is

securely installed and free from damage.

• For vehicles with roof rack anchors,

check that the anchors are covered with

the caps when not in use.

Your SUZUKI not recommend you use the

frame hooks for towing another vehicle.

SUZUKI was originally designed to tow

your vehicle on the road emergency tow-

ing.

If your vehicle needs to be towed in an

emergency, refer to “Towing” in “EMER-

GENCY SERVICE” section.

• Check that the roof rack is securely

installed.

• To mount various types of cargo (such

as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-

able attachments which are available at

your SUZUKI dealer. Install the attach-

ments properly and securely according

to the instructions provided. Do not

mount cargo directly on the roof panel.

The cargo can damage the roof panel.

• The gross weight of the roof rack plus

cargo must not exceed the loading

capacity.

WARNING

Observe the following instructions

when using frame hooks. The towing

hook or vehicle body may break and

cause serious injury or damage.

WARNING

• Abrupt maneuvers or failure to

properly secure cargo can allow

the cargo to fly off the vehicle and

hit others, causing personal injury

or property damage.

• Do not use the frame hooks for

towing another vehicle.

– Roof rails: 75 kg (165 lbs)

– Roof rack anchors: 50 kg (110 lbs)

Also, do not let the gross vehicle weight

(fully loaded vehicle including driver,

passengers, cargo, roof load and trailer

tongue weight) exceed the Gross Vehi-

cle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in

“SPECIFICATIONS” section.

• Mount and secure the cargo onto the

roof rack properly according to the

instructions provided. Stow the heaviest

items at the bottom and distribute the

cargo as evenly as possible.

• Avoid pulling the vehicle to get out

of severe snowy, muddy or sandy

conditions, sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which could

cause excessive stress on the tow-

ing hook.

• Mount cargo securely and avoid

abrupt maneuvers such as jackrab-

bit starts, sharp turns, fast corner-

ing and sudden braking. Check

periodically that cargo is securely

fastened.

• Large, bulky, long or flat items can

affect vehicle aerodynamics or be

caught by the wind, and can reduce

vehicle control resulting in an acci-

dent and personal injury. Drive cau-

tiously at a safely reduced speed

when carrying this type of cargo.

In such case, we recommend that

you contact a professional service.

• Do not carry large items that hang over

the bumpers or the sides of the vehicle.
