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)
The vehicle 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 trans-
mission is in neutral, the steering wheel
is unlocked (the ignition key should be
in “ACC” position) and the steering
wheel is secured with a clamping
device designed for towing service.
Engine trouble: Starter does
not operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to
“START” position 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 lead-acid
battery terminal contact 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 a Maruti Suzuki autho-
rised 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
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.
