NOTE:
• When the temperature of 4-wheel drive
system or the transmission is not warm
under the low temperature, you may feel
it hard to shift the transfer lever or gear
noise may occur.

drive your vehicle for a while and then
shift the transfer lever again.
Operate the transfer lever according to the
appropriate procedure described below:

and shift the transfer lever from “2H” to
“4H” or “4H” to “2H”. If the vehicle is mov-
ing, the speed must be less than 100 km/h
(60 mph) during this operation.
NOTICE
• Unevenly worn tyres can cause
problems in the operation of the
transfer lever. Be sure to rotate the
tyres according to the maintenance
schedule. Refer to “Tyres” and
“Maintenance Schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTE-

• If a problem exists during the shift-
ing function, all lights of the 4WD
indicator will blink continuously
and the transfer lever operation will
not work.

after trying the shifting operation
several times, it may be the result
of a system failure. Have the sys-
tem inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

Do not shift the transfer lever while
the rear tyre is spinning. Your vehicle
may move to the unexpected direc-
tion. 4-wheel drive system may be
also damaged.
