A. WARNING
(Continued) • Always return the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position and remove
the ignition key and the remote controller (if equipped) when leaving the vehicle even if a short time. Also do not leave children or pets alone in a parked vehicle. Unat
tended children could cause accidental movement of the vehicle or could tamper with power windows or power sunroof. They also could suffer from heat stroke in warm or hot weather. These could result in
severe injury or even death.

EXAMPLE
(1) To set (2) To release (3) To release
64J081
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 original position. For
automatic transmission
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 setting the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift 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.
A. WARNING
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: 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.
