DRIVING TIPS AND SAFE DRIVING

Snow Chains
If you must use snow chains to increase tyre
traction, observe the following precautions:
• Choose a safe place away from traffic
to install the chains.
• When installing the chains carefully follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Install the chains on the rear tyres.
• With the chains on, drive only at slow
and moderate speeds.
• If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud,
or sand, follow the directions below:
1) Change back and forth between first
gear and reverse. This will create a
rocking motion which may give you
enough momentum to free the vehicle.
Press gently on the accelerator to keep
wheel spin to a minimum. Remove your
foot from the accelerator while changing
gear.
Do not race the engine. Excessive
wheel spin will cause the tyres to dig
deeper, making it more difficult to free
the vehicle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, get another vehicle
to pull you out.
Do not allow anyone to stand near the
vehicle when you are rocking it, and
do not spin the wheels faster than an
indicated 40 km/h on the speedometer.
Personal injury and/or vehicle damage
may result from spinning the wheels
too fast.

WARNING
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes.
Prolonged rocking can cause engine
overheating or transmission damage.
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
CAUTION
• When driving on wet roads, avoid driv-
ing through large amount of standing
water on the road. Large amount of
water entering the engine compartment
may cause damage to the engine and
or electrical components.
• If stuck in deep water, do not start till
water level drops.
• Water is incompressible substance,
water inside engine is harmful to
the engine.”
• Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“TYRES” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
• Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres
on the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the “SPECI-
FICATIONS” section.
• Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to
raise (jack up) your vehicle. This
will change the handling
characteristics.
• After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow
speed to see if they have maintained
their normal effectiveness. If the
brakes are less effective than
normal, dry them by repeatedly
applying the brakes while driving
slowly until the brakes have regained
their normal effectiveness.
