VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
74LH0-74E
Vehicle Loading
Your vehicle was designed for specific
weight capacities. The weight capacities of
your vehicle are indicated by the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR (front
and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including
all the occupants, accessories and cargo
plus the trailer nose weight if towing a
trailer).
GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-
missible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and
actual loads at the front and rear axles can
only be determined by weighing the vehi-
cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR
and GAWR (front and rear). If the gross
vehicle weight or the load on either axle
exceeds these ratings, you must remove
enough weight to bring the load down to
the rated capacity.
Trailer Towing
Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originally
designed to carry people and a normal
amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.
MARUTI SUZUKI does not recommend
you use your vehicle to tow a trailer. Tow-
ing a trailer can adversely affect handling,
durability,
Some countries have regulations which
specifically allow trailer towing up to a
specified maximum trailer weight (regis-
tered or statutory towing capacity, which-
ever 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 tow-
ing equipment which are compatible. A
reputable towing specialist can help you.
and fuel economy.
WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer
nose weight if towing a trailer) must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition,
never distribute a load so that the
weight on either the front or rear axle
exceeds the Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing (GAWR).
WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always secure cargo to
prevent it from shifting if the vehicle
moves suddenly. Place heavier
objects on the floor and as far for-
ward in the cargo area as possible.
Never pile cargo higher than the top
of the seat backs.
NOTICE
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.
