TRACTION
4WD High is great for most
driving conditions. It helps give
you smooth on-road performance
and all-weather traction.
4WD High Lock powers you
through snow and mud by
distributing traction e venly
to front and rear wheels.
4WD Low Lock helps give you
the traction you need t o get
out of — or into — the toughest
road and off-road conditions.

THAT’S HOW MANY HIGHWAY MILES YOUR GRAND VITARA’S HEFTY
GAS TANK AND FUEL-EFFICIENT DRIVETRAIN CAN RACK UP BETWEEN
FILL-UPS. PASSENGER BEWARE: THIS ALSO MEANS FEWER CONVENIENCE
STOPS AT HIGH-PRICED GAS STATIONS EN ROUTE.
INTAKE
Ever wish you could get the
same powerful engine to rque at
low speeds that you exp erience
at high speeds? Grand Vitara’s
Variable Induction Syst em
(VIS) gives you just that —
automatically.
The rotating intake man ifold
tuning valve adjusts au tomatically
to create the optimal intake length
for the full RPM range.
The closed valve routes the air/
fuel mixture through a longer
intake that creates a powerful
torque output at lower RPMs.
The valve rotates to an open
position, creating a sh orter intake
that provides maximum t orque and
performance at higher s peeds.
