Emergency stop signal (ESS) (if equipped)ESS stands for Emergency Stop Signal.
ESS is a feature that gives a war ning to a following vehicle by flashing all turn signal lights
faster than usual if all the following conditions are met. Also , within these conditions, it will
flash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster.
• When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or
over.
• When the ABS is activated or when you suddenly brake similar to activating the ABS.
74P40170
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations:
• When the vehicle speed decreases enough
• When you release the brake
• When the ABS is no longer activated
• When you turn on the hazard warning switchEXAMPLE
NOTE:
• The ESS feature cannot be deactivated.
• Use of the hazard warning switch should
be given preference over the ESS.
• When driving on the following surfaces and the ABS gives out momentarily, the
ESS may not function.
– When driving on slippery surfaces
– When driving over bumps on the road
such as highway joint seams
WA R N I N G
Although the ESS is designed to
reduce the number of rear-end
crashes that occur from sudden brak-
ing, by warning a following vehicle, it
cannot prevent all crashes. Always
make an effort to drive safely and
avoid unnecessary sudden braking
when stopping or decelerating.

If the rear view from the rearview cam-
era is not shown or there is a poor
image
• If the rear view from the rearview camerais not shown.
– Check that the ignition switch is in
“ON” position or the ignition mode is
ON.
– Check that the gearshift lever is
shifted to “R” position.
• If the image from the rearview camera is poor.
– Check that the camera lens is not dirty.
– Check that light from the sun or thebeam of the headlights from the vehi-
cle behind is not shining directly into
the lens.
If the rearview camera system is still not
working properly after checking the above,
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Braking
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be
approximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19
mph). Start to depress the brake pedal
when there is plenty of distance between
your vehicle and the stopping point, and
slow down gradually.
Power-assisted brakesYour vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If
power assistance is lo st due to a stalled
engine or other failure s, the system is still
fully operational on reserve power and you
can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
pressing the brake pedal once and holding
it down. The reserve power is partly used
up when you depress the brake pedal and
reduces each time the pedal is pressed.
Apply smooth and even pressure to the
pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
WA R N I N G
If water gets into the brake devices,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the under-
side of the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see if
they have maintained their normal
effectiveness. If the brakes are less
effective than normal, dry them by
repeatedly applying the brakes while
driving slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effectiveness.

NOTE:
• If the ESP
® system is activated, you may
hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsat-
ing in the brake pedal. This is normal
and indicates that the brake fluid pres-
sure is being controlled properly.
• You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the
above systems are in the self-check
mode. This sound does not indicate a
malfunction. The ESP
® indicator lights are described
below:
ESP
® warning light
52KM133
This light blinks 5 times per second when
one of the following sy stems is activated.
• Stability control system
• Traction control system
• Hill descent control system (if equipped)
• Grip control system (if equipped)
If this light blinks, drive carefully.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position, or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working. NOTE:
When the ESP
® warning light comes on
and stays on while driving, indicating a
malfunction of the ESP
® systems (other
than ABS), the brake system will function
as an ordinary ABS with no additional
ESP
® functions.
ESP
® OFF indicator light

You should turn the ESP
® on during your
ordinary driving, so that you have the ben-
efits of all of the ESP
® systems.
It may be required to turn the ESP
® sys-
tems (other than ABS) off if your vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, or snow, where wheel
spin is necessary.

• The ESP
® may not work properly if
the tires are excessively worn.
Replace tires when the tread wear
indicators in the grooves appear on
the tread surface.
• The ESP® is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a
snow-covered road.
WA R N I N G
• The ESP
® may not work properly if
engine related parts such as the
muffler are not equivalent to stan-
dard equipment or are extremely
deteriorated.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s sus- pension since the ESP
® may not
work properly.
NOTICE
If the ESP
® warning light comes on
and stays on while driving, there may
be a malfunction of the ESP
® sys-
tems (other than ABS). You should
have the systems inspected by an

Hill descent control system (if equipped)The hill descent cont rol system is designed
to reduce the driver’s workload when going
down steep, rough and/or slippery hills
where the vehicle cannot decelerate
enough by engine braking alone. The hill
descent control system helps to control
vehicle speed by automatically engaging
the vehicle’s brakes, as needed, so you
can concentrate on steering the vehicle.
(1)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely excessively on the hill
descent control system. The hill
descent control system may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to control vehicle speed by
applying the brakes. Failure to pay
attention and control vehicle speed
using the brakes when necessary
may result in loss of control or an
accident.

Hill descent control switch
75RM056
(1) Hill descent control switch
To activate the hill descent control system:
1) Shift the gearshift lever into a forward
gear or reverse gear.2) Push the hill descent control switch (1) when the vehicle speed is under 25 km/h
(15 mph). The hill descent control indica-
tor on the instrument cluster will come on
and the hill descent control system will be
activated.
When the vehicle speed exceeds about 7
km/h (4 mph) without depressing the
accelerator pedal, the hill descent control
system applies the brak es automatically to
maintain the vehicle speed at about 7 km/h
(4 mph).
• When braking, the brake/tail lights come on and the ESP
® warning light blinks.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds about
40 km/h (25 mph), the hill descent con-
trol system stops functioning and the hill
descent control indicator goes off. When
the vehicle slows down below about 25
km/h (16 mph), the hill descent control
system will be activated again and the
hill descent control indicator will come
on.
NOTE:
You may hear a sound coming from the
engine when the hill descent control sys-
tem is activated. This sound is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.
To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the hill descent control switch and
turn off the hill descent control indicator
light.

WA R N I N G
• When the hill descent control sys- tem is used continuously for a long
time, the temperature of the brake
system may increase and the hill
descent control system may be
deactivated tempor arily to protect
the device of the brake system. The
hill descent control indicator blinks
to let you know the system is deac-
tivated. Depress the brake pedal
and stop the vehicle in a safe place.
When the temperature of the brake
system goes down, the hill descent
control indicator will come on and
the system is activated again. (Continued)
