and the position lights, tail lights and/or the
headlights are on, the display shows four
types of indication; odometer (A), trip
meter A (B), trip meter B (C), clock (D) and
indication of illumination intensity (E). Push
the “MODE” knob (3) quickly to switch the

how to dim or brighten the meter illumina-
tion.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

(1) ABS warning light
(2) Brake system warning light
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
noise as the system resets or checks itself.WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• In both of the above conditions,
ABS will still offer the advantage of
helping you maintain directional
control. However, remember that
ABS will not compensate for bad
road or weather conditions or poor
driver judgment. Use good judg-
ment and do not drive faster than
conditions will safely allow.
WA R N I N G
• If the ABS warning light (1) on the
instrument panel comes on and
stays on while driving, there may
be a problem with the ABS system.
Ask your SUZUKI dealer to inspect
the ABS system immediately. If the
ABS system becomes inoperative,
the brake system will function as
an ordinary brake system that has
no ABS.
• If the ABS warning light (1) and the
Brake system warning light (2) on
the instrument panel simultane-
ously 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 slip-
pery road or when hard braking
even on a dry paved road. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS
system immediately. Drive care-
fully, avoiding hard braking as
much as possible.
WA R N I N G
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.

Notes on Discs
Precautions
When the inside of the vehicle is very
cold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, condensation
may form on the disc or the optical parts
of the player and proper playback may
not be possible. If condensation forms
on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If
condensation forms on the optical parts
of the player, do not use the player forabout one hour. This will allow the con-
densation to disappear normally.
Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibrations may cause
sound to skip.
This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
Please bring the unit to an authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Cautions on Handling

EXAMPLE
If you pay extended attention to oper-
ating the audio system or viewing the
audio system display while driving,
an accident can occur. If you set the
sound volume too loud, it could pre-
vent you from being aware of road
and traffic conditions.
• Keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive. Avoid pay-
ing extended attention to operating
the audio system or viewing the
audio system display.
• Familiarize yourself with the audio
system controls and operation of
the audio system before driving.
• Preset your favorite radio stations
before driving so that you can
quickly tune to them using the pre-
sets.
• Set the sound volume to a level
that will allow you to continue to be
aware of road and traffic conditions
while driving.

Radio Reception
Radio reception can be affected by envi-

tion. Nearby mountains and buildings may
interfere or deflect radio reception, causing
poor reception. Poor reception or radio
static can also be caused by electric cur-
rent from overhead wires or high voltage
power lines.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
53MH0-74E
53m-09-036
The level of the battery solution must be
kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN”
level lines at all times. If the level is found
to be below the “MIN” level line, add dis-
tilled water to bring level between “MAX”
and “MIN”. You should, however, periodi-
cally check the battery, battery terminals,
and battery holddown bracket for corro-
sion. Remove corrosion using a stiff brush
and ammonia mixed with water, or baking
soda mixed with water. After removing cor-
rosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.Replacement of the battery53M-09-037
To remove the battery:
1) Disconnect the negative cable (1).
2) Disconnect the positive cable (2).
3) Remove the retainer bolts (3) and
remove the retainer (4).
4) Remove the battery along with cover
assembly (5) (if equipped).To install the battery:
1) Install the battery in the reverse order of
removal.
2) Tighten the retainer nuts and battery
cables securely.
NOTE:
When the battery is disconnected, some of
the vehicle’s function will be initialized and/
or deactivated.

the battery is reconnected.
Fuses
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse
and individual fuses, and are for electrical
load groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for individual electrical cir-
cuits. To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller
provided in the fuse box.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the battery with dis-
tilled water in order to avoid spillage.
