• The battery continues to be discharged. (#1)
• A malfunction was detect
ed in this system. (#2)

ing performance is insufficient. (#1)

• The gearshift lever is placed
in the “P”, “R” or “M” position.
When decelerating
(approximately 15 km/h (9 mph)
or less for manual transaxle
vehicles,
approximately 13 km/h (8 mph)
or less for CVT vehicles) Common • The engine hood was opened.

suddenly changes. (#1)

#1: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) blinks, it goes off. Also, the interior buzzer may sound at the same time.
#2: Depending on the sit uations of malfunction, it is a normal restart or the restart as #1.
#3: The engine may be restarted automatically when the brake ped al is depressed lightly. In this case, when the brake pedal is
depressed again, the engine is sto pped automatically and the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on again.
#4: The steering force, not the steering amount, is a condition to restart the engine automatically when the steering wheel is operated.
Therefore, the amoun t that the steering whee l is operated when the engine is automatically res tarted may change depending on t he
road conditions or t he number of passengers.

NOTE:
If the ENG A-STOP OFF switch (1) is
pushed while the engine has been stopped
automatically, the engine is restarted auto-
matically and the ENG A-STOP OFF indi-
cator light (2) comes on.
• The ENG A-STOP OFF indicator light (orange) in the instrument cluster comes
on or blinks in the following cases, not
only to warn you that the ENG A-STOP
system is deactivated. If it blinks, have
the vehicle serviced by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
– If the system is operating normally
when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the engine switch
is pressed to change the ignition mode
to ON, the indicator light comes on for
approximately 2 seconds, then goes
off.
– If there is something wrong with the system, or if it is time to replace the
battery, the indicator light will blink
when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the engine switch
is pressed to change the ignition mode
to ON. (The ENG A-STOP system will
not work properly.)

NOTE:
If the indicator light blinks when the engine
has been stopped automatically by the
ENG A-STOP system, the engine may
stall.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki)The SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by
Suzuki) of this vehicle is a system that
uses generators with motor function (ISG)
to operate the following functions accord-
ing to the driving situations, to increase
quietness of the engine and fuel efficiency.
ISG stands for Integrated Starter Genera-
tor.
•Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion
:
This function generates intensively
during deceleration by using the ISG.
When generation while driving is not
required, the ISG can be stopped to
reduce the load on the engine, leading to
improved fuel economy.
• Motor assistance function: This function assists the engine by using
the ISG as a motor to reduce the power
output of the engine, leading to improved
fuel economy.
• Starter motor function: This function restarts the engine after
being stopped by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem by using the ISG through the drive
belt.
NOTE:
When you restart the engine by pushing
the engine switch, the ordinary starter
motor is used and you will hear a gear
engagement noise. Energy flow indicator
With the energy flow indicator in the instru-
ment cluster, you can check whether or not
the ISG is functioning.
• Normal driving conditions:
The ISG is not functioning.
81P40260
• The deceleration energy regeneratingfunction is functioning while the vehicle is
decelerated in normal driving conditions:
The batteries are being charged.
81P40270
• Engine has been aut omatically stopped
when the vehicle is stopped:
Stored power is being used by electrical
components, such a s the audio system,
without the batteries being charged.
81P40280
• The starter motor function is functioning when the engine has been automatically
stopped:
Stored power is being used by the ISG,
without the batteries being charged.

• The lane departure warning may not be suitable for every situation.
Also, the system is not designed to
avoid the lane deviations automati-
cally. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• Depending on road surface condi-
tions, you may not feel the vibra-
tion of the steering wheel even
when the lane departure warning
works.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by

Temporary stop of the stereo camera
Under the following situations, the function
of the stereo camera stops temporarily.
When the situations are improved, the
temporary stop of the function will be can-
celed.
• When the visibility of the stereo camerais poor
• When the temperature of the body of
stereo camera i s low or high
• When the systems related the dual cam- era brake support stops temporarily
• When the lead-acid battery has a volt- age abnormality
• When the automatic adjustment of the
stereo camera is insufficient
Failure of the stereo camera
When the stereo camera is failure, the
function of the stereo camera stops until
the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Find a safe place to park and turn the igni-
tion switch to “LOCK” position or change
the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF) by press-
ing the engine switch.
Restart the engine, and check that the dual
camera brake support indicator light and
lane departure warning indicator light go
off.
• If both of the indicators stay on after restarting the engine, there may be a
failure of the stereo camera. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to have the stereo cam-
era inspected. It is thought that the cause of failure is the
followings.
• When the stereo camera has an abnor-
mality
• When the temperature of the body of stereo camera is t oo low or too high
• When the mounting position of the ste- reo camera is shifted greatly
• When there are communication abnor-
malities among the engine, transaxle
and brake controller
• When the dual camera brake support
OFF switch has an abnormality
• When the steering angle sensor has an abnormality
• When the power supply of the stereo camera is cut
NOTE:
• Under the following situations, the dual camera brake support indicator light and
lane departure warning indicator light
come on after the engine has started, it
does not indicate a malfunction. Once
the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF) and then the engine is restarted,
these indicators will go off.
– When the automatic brake system hasbeen operating 3 times
– When the automatic brake system has
been operating for long periods • The function of the stereo camera stops
if the dual camera brake support indica-
tor light and lane departure warning indi-
cator light come on and there may be a
failure of the stereo camera, but it does
not hinder normal driving.
Pedestrian detection
The stereo camera detects pedestrians by
whose size, shape or motion.
