Stuck Vehicle - MARUTI SUZUKI NEXA GRAND VITARA 2024 Owner's Manual & Service Booklet

Drive with an Appropriate Gear for
Vehicle Speed
Running the vehicle at a high engine rota-
tion speed by using a low-speed gear will
result in poor fuel economy. Use the cor-
rect gear according to the vehicle speed.
Keep the Air Cleaner Clean
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.

Stuck Vehicle

If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud or
sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transmission back and forth
between a "D" (drive) (or first gear for
manual transmission) 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 spinning to a
minimum wheel rpm. Remove your foot
from the accelerator while shifting. Do
not race the engine or the hybrid sys-
tem. Excessive wheel spin will cause
the tyres to dig deeper, making it more
difficult to free the vehicle.
NOTE:
You may have to turn the ESP
in order to allow spinning the wheels.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
59RN06050
minutes of rocking, we recommend you
to consult a Maruti Suzuki authorized
workshop or a roadside assistance ser-
vice. If a towing service is not available
in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a towing cable or
chain secured to the towing eye either
on the front or rear of the vehicle. Refer
to "Towing by Using Towing Eye" in the
"EMERGENCY SERVICE" section.
ADVICE FOR YOUR DRIVING
• 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.
