Some countries have regulations which
specifically allow trailer towing up to a
specified maximum trailer weight
(registered or statutory towing capacity,
whichever is smaller); vehicles sold in
these countries can be used to tow a light
trailer, provided the trailer does not exceed
the maximum trailer weight specified in
the country’s regulations.
If you use your MARUTI SUZUKI to tow a
trailer, you should always observe the
requirements and recommendations in this
section. If you intend to tow a trailer, it is
essential to select a trailer and trailer
towing equipment which are compatible.
A reputable towing specialist can help you.
CAUTION
Trailer towing puts additional stress
on the engine, drive train, and brakes
of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer
during the first 960 km (600 miles)
of vehicle operation.
Brakes
If trailer brakes are used, you should
follow all instructions provided by
the manufacturer. Never connect to
the brake system of your vehicle and
never take an electrical supply
directly from the wiring harness.
Tyres
When towing a trailer, it is very
important for your vehicle and trailer
to have properly inflated tyres. Your
vehicle’s tyres should be inflated to
the pressures listed on your vehicles
Tyre Information label. If laden
pressures are listed on the label, the
tyres should be inflated to the laden
pressures. Inflate trailer tyres
according to the specifications
provided by the trailer manufacturer.
Mirrors
Check to see if your vehicle’s mirrors meet
local requirements for mirrors used on
towing vehicles. If they do not, you must
install the required mirrors before you tow.
