Ignition Switch

The ignition switch has the following four positions: LOCK This is the normal parking position. It is theonly position in which the key can be removed.
60G033
You must push in the key to turn it to the “LOCK” position. It lo cks the ignition, and prevents normal use of the steering wheel after the key is removed.
To release the steering lock, insert the key and turn it clockwise to one of the other positions. If you have trouble turning thekey to unlock the steering, try turning the steering wheel slightly to the right or left while turning the key.
ACC Accessories such as the radio can oper-ate, but the engine is off.
ON This is the normal operating position. All electrical systems are on.
START This is the position for starting the engine using the starter motor. The key should bereleased from this position as soon as the engine starts.
Ignition key reminder (if equipped) A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to remove the ignition key if it is in theignition switch when the driver’s door is opened.

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)

DRIVING TIPS
76MH1-74E
76MH1-74E
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggageor cargo when it is not necessary.
Keep tire pressures correct Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correctpressure shown on the label on the driver’s side door or the driver’s door lock pillar.
Highway Driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stoppingpoint to allow for the extra stopping dis- tance. On rainy days, “Hydroplaning” can occur.“Hydroplaning” is the loss of direct con- tact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tires due to a water film formingbetween them. Steering or braking the vehicle while “Hydroplaning” can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur.Keep speed down when the road surface is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may beaffected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex- pected buffeting, which can occur at theexits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
76MH0A063
When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a lackof power. If this happens, you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normalpower range. Shift rapidly to prevent the vehicle from losing momentum. When driving down a hill, the engineshould be used for braking by shifting into a lower gear.
Driving on Slippery Roads
60G089S
Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roadsdue to possible slippage of tires during braking. When driving on icy, snow-cov- ered, or muddy roads, reduce your speedand avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements.
Tire Chains (if equipped)Tire chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Make sure that the chains you use
WA R N I N G
Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while goingdown a steep or long hill. This could cause the brakes to overheat, result- ing in reduced braking efficiency.Failure to take this precaution could result in loss of vehicle control.

NOTICE
When descending a down hill, NEVER turn the igni tion key to the “LOCK” position. Emission control system damage may result.

Battery Installation
Install a lithium battery (CR2025) with the poles facing the correct direction.
Battery replacement timing When battery power is depleted, the but-ton may not be operable. If the remote controller does not operate, replace the battery and check the operation.
Caution on battery Be sure to follow the instructions to pre- vent battery leakage, over-heating, igni- tion or explosion.
If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the container first then install a new battery. If the battery solution contacts the skin, wash off with water completely.
Caution on Remote Controller Do not leave the remote controller in anarea exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the dashboard or steering wheel. The remote controller may deform becauseof the heat, (Be especially careful of the dashboard exposed to direct sunlight in the summer, as it will become extremelyhot). When the vehicle is parked in an area exposed to direct sunlight, Ensure theremote controller is placed in an area not exposed to direct sunlight. For example: Glove box.Under direct sunlight , signal reception from the remote controller weakens. If this happens, hold the remote controllerclose to the signal receptor on the front panel.
WA R N I N G
• Do not expose the battery to flame. Do not short circuit, disassemble,or heat the battery. • Do not charge the battery. • Use the specified type battery.• Keep the button-shaped battery away from children to prevent acci- dental swallowing.If the battery is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
• Install the battery with the poles facing the correct direction.• When not in use for a long period of time, or if the battery is dead, remove the battery from the remotecontroller.
