OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING Only use tires and wheels recommended by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. Use of tires or wheels not recommended by SUZUKI can result in TPMS failure. Refer to "Tires" in the "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for additional information. Break-In CAUTION The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the initial 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. • After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually. • Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed. • Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts. • Avoid hard stopping, especially during the first 320 km (200 miles) of driving. • Do not drive slowly with the transmission in a high gear. • Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds. • Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. Catalytic Converter EXAMPLE For Vehicles Sold in U.S.A. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference. 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 54G236 The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle's exhaust. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited by federal law, because lead deactivates the pollutantreducing components of the catalyst system. The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special maintenance is required on the converter. However, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the catalyst. This may result in permanent heat damage to the catalyst and other vehicle components. Traveling to CANADA Please note that service for the tire pressure monitoring system may not be available in CANADA should there be any problems or malfunctions in the system. 6-25
