1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights, and reflectors are clean and unob-structed. 2) Visually check the tires for the following points:– the depth of the tread groove – abnormal wear, cracks and damage – loose wheel nuts– existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc. Refer to “Tires” in “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.
WA R N I N G
Avoid breathing exhaust gases. Exhaust gases contain carbon mon- oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbonmonoxide is difficult to detect by itself, be sure to take the following precautions to help prevent carbonmonoxide from entering your vehicle. • Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas.(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• Do not park with the engine run- ning for a long period of time, even in an open area. If it is necessary to sit for a short time in a parked vehi- cle with the engine running, make sure the air intake selector is set to “FRESH AIR” and the fan is at highspeed. • Avoid operating the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open. If it isnecessary to operate the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open, make sure the sunroof (if equipped)and all windows are closed, and the blower is at high speed with the air intake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.• To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the air inlet grille in front of thewindshield clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times. • Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clearof snow and other material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the vehicle. This isparticularly important when parked in blizzard conditions. • Have the exhaust system inspectedperiodically for damage and leaks. Any damage or leaks should be repaired immediately.

Clutch Pedal (1)
(For manual transaxle)The clutch pedal is used to disengage the drive to the wheels when starting theengine, stopping, or shifting the gearshift lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the clutch.
Brake Pedal (2)Your MARUTI SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Depressing the brake pedalapplies both sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal when you apply the brakes. This is a nor- mal condition caused by environmental factors such as co ld, wet, snow, etc.
WA R N I N G
When parking the vehicle in extremely cold weather, the followingprocedure should be used: 1) Set the parking brake. 2) Manual transaxl e - turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or first gear. Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverseor first gear and check the gear position indicato r in the instru- ment cluster to ma ke sure that the transaxle is engaged in 1st or reverse, then turn off the engine. 3) Get out of the vehicle and putchocks under the wheels. 4) Release the parking brake. When you return to your vehicle,you must remember to first set the parking brake, then remove the wheel chocks.

Brake Assist System (if equipped)When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system judges as an emergencystop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly.
NOTE: If you quickly and forcefully depress thebrakes, you may hear a clicking sound in the brake pedal. This is normal and indi- cates that the brake a ssist system is acti- vated properly.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
(if equipped)ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec- tronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering controlwhen braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you donot need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever itsenses that the wheels are locking up. You
may feel the brake pedal moves a little while the ABS is operating.
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 10 km/h (6 mph).

Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop thevehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. How- ever, the stopping distance may belonger.WA R N I N G
• On some types of loose surfaces(such as gravel, snow-coveredroads, etc.) the stopping distance required for an ABS-equipped vehi- cle may be slightly greater than fora comparable vehicle with a con- ventional brake system. With a con- ventional brake system, skiddingtires are able to “plow” the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stop- ping distance, ABS minimizes thisresistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces.• On regular paved roads, some driv- ers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances withconventional brake systems than with ABS. • In both of the above conditions,ABS will still offer the advantage of helping you maintain directional control. However, remember thatABS 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 maybe a problem with the ABS system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immedi-ately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake sys-tem that has no ABS. (Continued)

How the ABS WorksA computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating askidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels fromlocking. When you start your vehicle after a stop you may hear a momentary motor noise as the system checks itself.
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• If the ABS warning light (1) and theBrake system warning light (2) on the instrument panel simultane- ously stays on or comes on whendriving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning val ve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in theworst case when braking on a slip- pery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask yourMARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking asmuch as possible.
WA R N I N G
The ABS may not work properly iftires or wheels other than thosespecified in the owner’s manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheelspeed. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner’s manual.

are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires. Also make sure that there is enough clear- ance between the fenders and the chainsas installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly, according to the chain manufacturer’s instructions. Retight en the chains after driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, orsand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transaxle back and forth between a forward range (or first gear formanual transaxle) and reverse. This willcreate a rocking motion which may giveyou enough momentum to free the vehi- cle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spinning to a minimumwheel rpm. Remove your foot from theaccelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheelspin will cause the tires to dig deeper,making it more difficult to free the vehi- cle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull your vehicle out.

DRIVING ON WET ROADS
NOTICE
• If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driving, stopand tighten them.• If your vehicle is equipped with fullwheel caps, remove the wheel caps before installing the chains or the wheel caps can be damaged by thechain bands.
WA R N I N G
Do not allow anyone to stand near the vehicle when you are rocking it,and do not spin the wheels faster than an indicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on the speedometer. Personal injuryand/ or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Pro-longed rocking can cause engine overheating or transaxle damage.
NOTICE
• When driving on wet roads, avoid driving through large amount of standing water on the road. Large amount of water entering theengine compartment may cause damage to the engine and or elec- trical components.• If stuck in deep water, do not start till water level drops. • Water is incompressible substance,water inside engine is harmful to the engine.
WA R N I N G
In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. • Make sure your tires are in good condition and always maintain the specified tire pressure. Refer to“Tires” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” • Di not use tires other than thosespecified by MARUTI SUZUKI.Never use different sizes or types of tires on the front and rear wheels. Forinformation regard ing the specified tires, refer to the Tire Information Label located on the driver’s doorlock pillar(Continued)
