日本铃木汽车将停止在美国市场的销售。

The firm said its focus on small cars and stringent¹（严厉的） US safety regulations had hurt its growth in the country.

It added that a strong yen², which makes its cars more expensive for foreign buyers, had also hurt its fortunes.

The firm's subsidiary, American Suzuki Motor Corp, will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy³ protection.

Suzuki said such a move will help "facilitate a smooth transition of the current US automobile⁴ dealer⁵ sales network into a network of authorized⁶ service and parts dealers⁷".

This will allow it to honour all warranties⁸ and provide service facilities to owners of Suzuki vehicles in the US, the company added.

Suzuki's sales in the US peaked in 2007 but have been hurt since then by the global financial crisis and the subsequent（随后的） weak recovery in the US economy.

The company said it will now focus on sales of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and marine⁹ equipment in the US market.
