DRIVING TIPS
78KS0-37E
WARNING
In addition to following the driving
tips in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions for
on-road and off-road driving.
• Driver and passengers should wear
seat belts at all times.
• Do not let anyone else drive your
vehicle unless they are also aware
of the vehicle characteristics and
handling differences described in
this section.
• Avoid loaning your vehicle to any-
one unless you accompany them.
• Make sure your tires are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tire pressure. Refer to
“Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for
details.
• Do not use tires other than those
specified by SUZUKI. Never use dif-
ferent sizes or types of tires on the
front and rear wheels. For informa-
tion regarding the specified tires,
refer to the “SPECIFICATIONS”
section.
• Never use oversized tires or spe-
cial shock absorbers and springs
to raise (jack up) your vehicle. This
will raise the center of gravity of
the vehicle and change its handling
characteristics.

WARNING

• After driving through water, mud,
or sandy ground, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see
if they have maintained their nor-
mal 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 nor-
mal effectiveness.
• Do not use “4H LOCK” or “4L
LOCK” drive for normal driving on
dry, hard surfaced roads.
• After extended operation in mud,
sand, or water, have the brakes
inspected by your authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
