Your starter is starting to weaken, which means it should be replaced. If you ever notice it, don't let it hang out, as when the starter is definitely broken you will no longer be able to launch your Suzuki Vitara 2. Here is a tutorial to replace your starter and understand how it works.
What is the starter of my Suzuki Vitara 2 for?
A starter is an electric motor inside the engine of your Suzuki Vitara 2. It draws electrical power from the battery in order to turn, and gives the impulse to the motor so that it starts. So, if you want to know that it is a starter problem and nothing else, we invite you to consult the file on starting problems. Now that we've spotted the problem, let's get down to business.

Before tackling the work, check that you have the essential tools. For this manipulation you will need an integral toolbox, your jack, your wire brush but also two candles.
Remove the old starter
In order to carry out this operation, what is essential turns out to be to correctly visualize the positions, for the wires in particular. We invite you to stamp them if you are afraid of forgetting.

- Place your jack under the engine in case it wobbles a bit.
