(3) To release
The parking brake lever is located between
the seats. To set the parking brake, hold
the brake pedal down and pull the parking
brake lever all the way up. To release the
parking brake, hold the brake pedal down,
pull up slightly on the parking brake lever,
push the button on the end of the lever with
your thumb, and lower the lever to its origi-

For automatic transaxle vehicles, always
set the parking brake before moving the
gearshift lever to the “P” (PARK) position. Ifyou park on an incline and shift into “P”
before setting the parking brake, the
weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to
shift out of “P” when you are ready to drive
the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle, move
the gearshift lever out of the “P” position
before releasing the parking brake.
Parking Brake Reminder BuzzerA buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to release the parking brake if you
start the vehicle without releasing the park-
ing brake. Make sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake sys-
tem warning light turns off.

conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil

Frequency TransmittersWe recommend that you always ask a
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer about frequency
band, max output power, antenna position

lation and/or use before installing a radio
transmitter in your vehicle. Such equip-
ments may cause the electronic control
system to malfunction if they are incor-
rectly installed or they are not suited for the
vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace the R-134a with other refrig-
erants.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the radio
antenna:
Remove the antenna when using an
automatic car wash.
Remove the antenna when the
antenna hits anything such as a
low ceiling in a parking garage or
