Depress the clutch pedal while the gear-
shift lever is in “N” (Neutral) position.
“ENG A-STOP” indicator light (green) (1) in
the instrument cluster will be turned off and

NOTE:
If the engine stalled by a rapid clutch oper-
ation, the engine will restart with the gear
positioned “N” (neutral) and the clutch
pedal depressed.NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the engine
will restart automatically even if the engine
was stopped by the ENG A-STOP system:
• When the vehicle coasts down a slope.
• An engine stopped, and a few minutes
passed.

tioning etc.) are operating.
• “ENG A-STOP OFF” switch is pressed to
deactivate the ENG A-STOP system.
NOTE:

61MM0A101
Push “ENG A-STOP OFF” switch. “ENG
A-STOP OFF” light will come on.
“ENG A-STOP OFF” light
If “ENG A-STOP OFF” light blinks when
driving, there may be something wrong
with the ENG A-STOP system. You should
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. For details, refer to
“Warning and indicator lights” in “BEFORE
DRIVING” section.
Adaptive cruise control
system (if equipped)
The adaptive cruise control system allows
you to maintain a steady speed without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
You can use the adaptive cruise control
system under the following conditions:
• Driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• Open door warning light is off.
• Parking brake is completely released.
• Speed limiter is not used.
• The gear position is in 3rd, 4th, 5th or
6th (if equipped).
• The vehicle speed is about 40 km/h (25
mph) or higher.
• ESP
® OFF switch is not pushed and the
system is not turned off.The adaptive cruise control system has the
following four controls.
(1) Constant-speed control
(There is no vehicle ahead)
54P000342
Your vehicle cruises at the set speed.
• The vehicle speed can be set between
40 km/h (25 mph) to 160 km/h (100
mph).
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Deceleration control by the adaptive
cruise control system is limited.
Therefore, you are requested to pay
enough attention for safety driving,
by checking the surrounding traffic
always and operating brake pedal
and/or accelerator pedal as neces-
sary.
EXAMPLE

(2) Deceleration control
(A vehicle ahead is within radar range
and going slower than the set speed)
54P000343
Your vehicle slows down, and maintains
the same speed as the speed of the vehi-
cle ahead to maintain the following dis-
tance.
• Possible detecting distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle ahead is
within about 100 m (328 ft).
(3) Following control
(A vehicle ahead is within radar range
and going at a steady speed)
54P000344
Your vehicle follows the vehicle ahead,
keeping a constant distance, without
exceeding the set speed.NOTE:
• When your vehicle is getting close to the
vehicle ahead while deceleration control
or following control is functioning, a fron-
tal collision warning is activated.
• When operating brake pedal during fol-
lowing control, you might feel that a
brake is heavy. However, this is normal
in the brake system. This occurs
because of the feature of adaptive cruise
control system.
(4) Acceleration control
(A vehicle ahead goes out of range)
54P000345
The adaptive cruise control system accel-
erates your vehicle to the set speed, and
then maintains it.
Situations where radar will not acti-vate properly
Under the following situations, there is a
high possibility that deceleration control,
following control and acceleration control
will not function properly, even if a vehicle
ahead is within radar range.
• When vehicle is driven in a traffic jam
• When vehicle is driven on sharp curves
• When vehicle is driven on slippery road
such as ice or snow-covered road
• When vehicle is driven on steep hill
54P000376
• When vehicle is driven on the road with
many steep uphills and downhills
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer

straight manner without consistently
steering, due to an accident or break-
down

may not detect a vehicle ahead correctly
and frontal collision warning may not func-
tion. You need to decelerate the vehicle
operating brakes as necessary.
• When a vehicle ahead is running slowly
or stopping at the end of the line in a traf-
fic jam or the tollgate
• When the vehicle is approaching repair-
ing road
• While running inside of tunnel
• When the radar sensor cover is covered
in snow, water or dirt
• When there is bad weather such as
heavy rain or fog, a blizzard or sand-
storm or when the vehicle in front of you
is surrounded by water, snow or sand
• A vehicle ahead has extremely small
rear end area such as an unloaded
trailer
• When your vehicle is weighed down by
heavy items in the luggage compartment
or rear seat
• When your vehicle is running at 160 km/
h (100 mph) or higher speed
• When a vehicle ahead is cutting in sud-
denly
54P000375

NOTE:
• You can adjust the set speed by 1 km/h
(or 1 mph) by pushing “RES +” switch (4)
or “SET –” switch (5) quickly.
• You can adjust the set speed by 5 km/h
(or 5 mph) by pushing and holding “RES
+” switch (4) or “SET –” switch (5).
• While deceleration control or following
control is activated, the vehicle is not
accelerated even though resetting to
higher cruising speed by continuous
pushing “RES +” switch (4) is operated.
However, if the vehicle ahead disap-
pears, the vehicle is accelerated auto-
matically to the set speed.Cancelling adaptive cruise control
“SET” indicator (8) will disappear and the
adaptive cruise control system will be can-
celed temporarily under the following con-
ditions:
• When “CANCEL” switch (3) is pushed
• When brake pedal is depressed
• When clutch pedal is continuously
depressed
• When vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph)
• When a vehicle skids and ESP
® is acti-
vated
• When radar sensor cover is covered in
snow, water or dirt
• When engine speed is too high or too
low
• When gear position is changed to “N”
(Neutral)
• When gear position is changed to 1st or
2nd
• When driver’s door is open
• When driver’s seat belt is unfastened
• When parking brake is applied
• When “LIMIT” switch is pressed
• When ESP
® OFF switch is pressedTo resume the previously set speed, push
“RES +” switch (4) and show “SET” indica-
tor (8). The vehicle speed must be above
about 40 km/h (25 mph) when the vehicle
is not under the above conditions.
To turn off the adaptive cruise control sys-
tem, push “CRUISE” switch (2) and check
that the cruise indicator (7) disappears.
Also, if any warning indication or message
related to the adaptive cruise control sys-
tem is displayed on the instrument cluster,
the adaptive cruise control system will be
turned off.
NOTE:
If you turn off the adaptive cruise control
system, the previously set speed in the
memory is cleared. Reset your cruising
speed again.

cleared. Set your speed again.
Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten
their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.
