Parking Brake Lever
52D122
(1) To set
(2) To release
(3) To release
The parking brake lever is located between
the seats. To set the parking brake, hold
the brake pedal down and pull the parking
brake lever all the way up. To release the
parking brake, hold the brake pedal down,
pull up slightly on the parking brake lever,
push the button on the end of the lever with
your thumb and lower the lever to its origi-
nal position.
For automatic transaxle vehicles, always
set the parking brake before moving the
gearshift lever to the “P” (Park) position. If
you park on an incline and shift into “P”
before you set the parking brake, the
weight of the vehicle may make it difficult toshift out of “P” when you are ready to drive
the vehicle. When preparing to drive the
vehicle, move the gearshift lever out of the
“P” position before releasing the parking
brake.

WARNING
 Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake set: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life may be
shortened or permanent brake
damage may result.
 If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully
before leaving your vehicle or it may
roll, causing injury or damage. When
parking, make sure the gearshift
lever for manual transaxle vehicles is
in 1st gear or “R” (Reverse) and the
gearshift lever for automatic tran-
saxle vehicles is in “P” (Park).
Remember, even though the tran-
saxle is in gear or in Park, you must
set the parking brake fully.

Folding Rear SeatsTo fold the rear seatback(s) forward:
54G372
1) Unlatch the detachable connector
before folding the rear right seatback.
To unlatch, insert the ignition key into
the slot of the connector and allow the
belt to retract.
54G373
2) Once the belt has completely retracted,
secure the latch plate as shown in the
illustration.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Do
not smoke when refueling, and make
sure there are no open flames or
sparks in the area.
WARNING
If you need to replace the fuel cap,
use a genuine SUZUKI cap or its
equivalent. Use of an improper cap
can result in a malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control system. It
may also result in fuel leakage in the
event of an accident.
CAUTION
When you fold a rear right seatback,
be sure to unlatch the detachable
connector. This helps prevent dam-
age to the belt webbing.

insert the connector latch plate into the
connector so as to align the triangle
marks until you hear a “click”.
CAUTION
When you move a seatback, make
sure the belt webbing is hooked in
the belt hangers so the seat belts are
not caught by the seatback, seat
hinge, or seat latch. This helps pre-
vent damage to the belt system.
WARNING
When returning a rear seatback to the
normal position, make sure the seat-
back is securely latched.
WARNING
Make sure the detachable connector
is securely latched and the webbing
is not twisted.
WARNING
If you park your vehicle outdoors in
direct sunlight or in hot weather, an
exposed latch plate can get hot
enough to burn you. Be careful not to
touch a hot latch plate.
