A WARNING
65D451
If the ABS warning light «1) or (2» on
the instrument panel comes on and
stays on while driving, there may be a
problem with the ABS system. If this happens:
1) Pull off the road and stop care
fully.
2) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" and then start the engine again.
(Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) If the warning light comes on briefly then turns off, the system is normal.
If the. warning light still stays on,
have the system inspected by your
SUZUKI dealer immediately.
If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as
an ordinary brake system that has no
ABS.
A WARNING
If the ABS warning light «1) or (2» and the Brake system warning light (3) on the instrument panel simulta
neously stays on or comes on when
driving, both anti-lock function and
rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when
braking on a slippery road or when
hard braking even on a dry paved
road. Ask your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking
as much as possible.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
How the ABS Works A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The' computer compares the
changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a
skidding Situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times
each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking sound as the system resets or checks itself.
A WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if
tires or wheels other than those
specified in the owner's manual are
used. This is because the ABS works
by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type
specified in this owner's manual.

Hill hold control System
(if equipped)
The hill hold control system is designed to
assist you in starting to move up steep or slippery hills. When you start to move up a hill, the system helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling downward while you move your
foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.

• Do not rely excessively on the hill hold control system. The hill hold control system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling downward on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling downward. Failure to pay attention and
depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle on a hill when necessary,
may result in loss of control or an
accident.
• Do not use the hill hold control system to bring the vehicle to a stop on a hill.
The hill hold control system activates for a
maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the fol
lowing condition are all met. 1) The transfer switch is in a position other
than "N".
