ADVICE FOR YOUR DRIVING
WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not use tyres other than those
specified by SUZUKI. Never use dif-
ferent sizes or types of tyres on the
front and rear wheels. For informa-
tion regarding the specified tyres,
refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS"
section.
• Never use oversized tyres 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.
• 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.
• After extended operation in mud,
sand, or water, have the brakes,
bearings and joint parts
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible.

Highway Driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay
attention to the following:
• Stopping distance
increases with vehicle speed. Apply the
brakes far enough ahead of the stopping
point to allow for the extra stopping dis-
tance.
• On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur.
Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact
between the road surface and the vehi-
cle's tyres due to a water film forming
between them. Steering or braking the
vehicle during hydroplaning can be very
difficult, and loss of control can occur.
Keep speed down when the road sur-
face is wet.
• At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side winds. Therefore,
reduce speed and be prepared for unex-
pected buffeting, which can occur at the
exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut
of a hill, or when being overtaken by
large vehicles, etc.
