Maximum towing capacity
(trailer, cargo & tow bar)
Braked trailer: 1000 kg (2205 lbs)

Tow bars
Only use a tow bar that is designed to
attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a
hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar.
We recommend that you use a genuine
SUZUKI tow bar (available as option), or
equivalent.
For vehicles where the towing device
blocks any of the lights or license plate,
observe the following points:
• Do not use the towing devices that can-
not be easily removed or repositioned.
• The towing devices must be removed or
repositioned when not in use.
Safety chains
Always attach safety chains between your
vehicle and trailer. Cross safety chains
under the nose of the trailer so that the
nose will not drop to the road if the trailer
becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol-
low the manufacturer’s recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always leave
just enough slack to permit full turning.
Never allow safety chains to drag on the
road.
WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual
sensor brake support, if your vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, press the dual
sensor brake support OFF switch and
turn off the dual sensor brake sup-
port. If not, accidents related to the
system being turned on may occur.
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.
NOTICE
When towing by a vehicle with auto-
matic transmission or CVT on a long
steep hill, try to take some rest on the
way to prevent overheat or damage
of the engine or transmission.
WARNING
Never use a tow bar which attaches
to the axle or the bumper of your
vehicle.
WARNING
Never attach safety chains to the
bumper of your vehicle. Secure con-
nections so that they cannot come
loose.
