Page 225 Headlight Aiming: Bulb Replacement: 7 Vehicle Loading Your vehicle was designed for specific load capacities. The load capacities of your vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front and rear), and the total load capacity, the seating capacity, and the cargo load capacity.
Page 226 Bulb Replacement: 7 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING • Always distribute cargo evenly. • To avoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehicle moves suddenly. • Place heavier objects on the floor and as far forward in the cargo area as possible.
Page 227 Bulb Replacement: 7 Determining Compatibility of Tire and Vehicle Load Limits The tires on your vehicle, when they are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure, have a load-carry- ing capacity that is greater than the load that will be on the tires when the vehicle is at its GVWR or GAWR limit.
Page 228 Bulb Replacement: 7 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Fuses Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as described below: Main Fuse – The main fuse takes current directly from the battery. Primary Fuses – These fuses are between the main fuse and individual fuses, and are for electrical load groups.
Page 229 If the main fuse or a primary fuse blows, be sure to have your vehicle inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. Always use a genuine SUZUKI replacement. Never use a substitute such as a wire even for a temporary fix, or extensive electrical damage and a fire can result.
