Approximate areas where obstacles can
be detected
Swift
74LHT3003
Swift Dzire
74LHT3004
An obstacle within about 20 cm (8 in)
from a sensor or just below a sensor is
not detectable. The sensors can detect an obstacle up to
about 1.5 m (5 ft) from the rear of vehicle. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Under the following conditions, the
parking sensor system may not
work normally because the sensors
cannot detect obstacles correctly.
– Sensors are covered with mud, ice
or other materials. (Such materials
must be removed for normal oper-
ation.)
– sensor are wet from water
splashes or heavy rain.
– Sensors are covered by a hand,
sticker, accessory, etc.
– There is an accessory or other
object attached within the sen-
sor’s sensing area.– Items such as tow hooks, commer-
cially available corner poles, radio
antenna, etc. are installed on the
bumper.
– The height of the bumper is changed
due to alteration to the suspension or
other causes.
– The sensor areas are extremely hot
from direct sunlight or cold due to
freezing weather.
– The vehicle is on a rough surface,
slope, gravel road or grass field.
– The vehicle is at a steep angle.
– Sensors have intercepted ultrasonic
noise from another vehicle’s horn,
engine, air braking system (large vehi-
cles), or parking sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the sen-
sors.
(Continued)
WARNING
– Sensors are at an angle to a highly
reflective object such as glass. (Ultra-
sonic waves are not reflected back
from the obstacle.)
Sensors may not be able to correctly
detect the following types of obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material like
wire netting and ropes.
– Square-shaped curbstones or other
objects with sharp edges.
– Tall objects with a large upper part like
a road sign.
– Low-profile objects such as curb-
stones.
– Sound-absorbing objects such as cot-
ton and snow.– Sensors have intercepted ultra-
sonic noise from another vehi-
cle’s horn, engine, air braking
system (large vehicles), or park-
ing sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a

NOTE: Thin poles or obstacles lower than the sen-
sors may become undetectable as the
vehicle moves closer to them even if they
have been detected from longer distances.
The system may calculate the distance to
a road sign or similar obstacle to be shorter
than the actual dist
ance.How to Use the Parking SensorParking sensor switch

(1) Parking sensor switch
(2) Indicator
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or press the engine switch to changethe ignition mode to “ON” with the park-
ing sensor switch in the “ON” position.
Push the switch again and it stays in; this
is the OFF position. The indicator in the
switch goes out and the parking sensor
is deactivated.
NOTE:
If you push the parking sensor switch
from the “OFF” to “ON” position when
the ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
inside buzzer sounds.
When the gearshift lever is shifted to the
“R” (Reverse) position with the system
ON, a buzzer will sound once.
Obstacle Indication by Parking Sen-
sorUpon detecting an obstacle, the parking
sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound.
A buzzer located behind the rear seat
sounds when a sensor at the rear
detects an obstacle.

Running-inCatalytic Converter
74LHM0402
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded
fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-
nance is required on the converter. How-
ever, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine,
may cause overheating of the catalyst.
This may result in permanent heat damage
to the catalyst and other vehicle compo-
nents.
WA R N I N G
WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS AT ALL
TIMES. Even though air bags are
equipped at the front seating posi-
tions, the driver and all passengers
should be properly restrained at all
times, using the seat belts pro-
vided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section
for instructions on proper use of
the seat belts.
Never drive while under the influ-
ence of alcohol or other drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can seriously
impair your ability to drive safely,
greatly increasing the risk of injury
to yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated, or under
stress.EXAMPLE
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil-
ity of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its
early life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the initial 960 km of vehicle
operation.
After starting, do not race theengine. Warm it up gradually.
Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts
will break in better if you vary your
speed.
Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km of driving.
Do not drive slowly with the trans- axle in a high gear.
Drive the vehicle at moderate
engine speeds.
Do not tow a trailer.

Do’s and Dont’s for Safe
DrivingExercise care in handling your vehicle. Be
conscious of not only your own safety but
also the safety of others on the road, and
thus enjoy the best and most comfortable
driving experience.
Following are basic rules for safe driving.
Read them carefully for good understand-
ing of the content so that you can enjoy
safe and pleasant driving in your vehicle.Starting1) Adjust the driver’s seat for the proper driving posture.
2) Adjust the rear view mirror so as to obtain the best po ssible rear view.
74LHM0409
3) Before moving, look around your vehi-
cle to confirm safety.
4) Don’t accelerate suddenly, since it is
dangerous and wastes fuel.General driving1) Be sure to stop before a stop light orstop sign. When moving into an inter-
section without any traffic lights or
signs, drive slowly to confirm safety.
2) Always follow other vehicles at a safe
distance in order to prevent a rear-end
collision, in case the vehicle ahead
makes a sudden stop.
74LHM0410
3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30meters before making a turn or chang-
ing the lane so as to not be hit.
4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during
cornering, or skidding may occur.
5) When overtaking other vehicles, watch out for oncoming vehicles and carefully
ensure safety.
6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving as it will hinder your control over the vehicle and
may cause an accident.
7) Avoid reckless high speed driving and try to drive at a safe speed suitable for
the road conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.
8) Higher the speed, narrower the driver’s visual range becomes. In such a state,
it is difficult to anticipate any hazard and
the driver feels fatigued.
