Towing Your Vehicle
If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional service, Maruti
Suzuki authorised workshop can provide
you with detailed towing instructions.
2-Wheel Drive (2WD) CVT
CVT 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 a dolly under the front wheels.
2-Wheel Drive (2WD) Manual
Transmission
Manual transmission vehicles may be
towed using either of the following meth-
ods.
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 trans-
mission is in “N” (Neutral), the steering
wheel is unlocked (Vehicle without key-
less push start system - the ignition key
should be in the “ACC” position) (Vehi-
cle with keyless push start system - the
ignition mode is “ACC”), and the steer-
ing wheel is secured with a clamping
device designed for towing service.
Engine trouble:
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 lead-acid
battery condition. If the headlights go
excessively dim or go off, it usually
means that either the lead-acid battery
is discharged or the lead-acid battery
terminal contact is poor. Recharge the
lead-acid battery or correct the lead-
acid battery terminal contact as neces-
sary.
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 Maruti Suzuki
authorised workshop.
NOTICE
Observe the following instructions
when towing your vehicle.
• To help avoid damage to your vehi-
cle during towing, proper equip-
ment and towing procedures must
be used.
• Using the frame hook, tow your
vehicle on paved roads for short
distances at low speed.
NOTICE
Towing the 2WD vehicle with the
front wheels on the ground can result
in damage to the CVT.
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.
