Gearshift indicator (if equipped)
75RM327
In the following cases, the gearshift indica-
tor is indicated on the information display
when the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is ON.
• For manual transaxle vehicle, when thegearshift lever is in a position other than
“N” (Neutral).
• For Auto Gear Shift vehicle, when using the manual mode.
• For vehicles equipped with the cruise control, when the syst em is not in use.
The electronic control system monitors
driving condition (such as vehicle speed
and/or engine revolution), and it shows
which gear position is optimal for your driv-
ing with the indicati on on the display. Manual transaxle vehicle
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated on the dis-
play while driving, we recommend you to
shift up or down the gear until the arrow
disappears. It is the optimal gear position
for a driving condition that reduces the
over revolution and stress to the engine,
and improves fuel consumption.
Auto Gear Shift vehicle (when using the
manual mode)
If UP arrow is indicated on the display while
driving, we recommend you to shift up the
gear until the arrow disappears. It is the opti-
mal gear position for a driving condition that
reduces the over revolut
ion and stress to the
engine, and improves fuel consumption.For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to “Using transa xle” in this section.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
The gearshift indicator is designed to
indicate optimal gear position for
your driving, however, a driver will
not be relieved from the duty of care
of driving operation or gear change
with this indicator.
To drive safe, do not gaze the gear-
shift indicator, pay attention to your
driving situation and shift up or down
if necessary.

ENG A-STOP system
(engine auto stop start system) (if equipped)The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops and
restarts the engine when decelerating
before stopping and when the vehicle is
stopped, such as at a traffic signal, in order
to reduce exhaust gases, fuel consumption
and engine noise.
• This system automatically stops the engine under certain conditions. When
the vehicle will be stopped for a long
time or when you will leave the vehicle
unattended, set the parking brake firmly,
and then turn the ignition switch or press
the engine switch to stop the engine.
• If certain conditions are met, the engine is stopped automatically when decelerat-
ing (approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or
less for manual transaxle vehicles,
approximately 13 km/h (8 mph) or less
for CVT vehicles) before stopping. How-
ever, the engine will not be stopped
automatically during deceleration until
confirmation of the system function is fin-
ished. NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto-
matic heating and ai
r conditioning system,
you can change the automatic engine stop
condition via the information display. Refer
to “Setting mode” in “Information display
(instrument cluster with tachometer)” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
75RM054
CAUTION
• Do not get out of the vehicle when the engine has been stopped auto-
matically by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem. This may result in an accident.
– For manual transaxle, if the
driver’s seat belt is unfastened or
the driver’s door is opened, the
engine will be restarted to warn
you that the engine was stopped
automatically by the ENG A-
STOP system.
– For CVT, if the driver’s seat belt is unfastened, even if the brake
pedal is pressed down, or the
driver’s door is opened, the
engine will be restarted to warn
you that the engine was stopped
automatically by the ENG A-
STOP system.
• If the engine is not restarted auto- matically after being stopped by the
ENG A-STOP system, turn the igni-
tion switch or press the engine
switch to start the engine. Operating
the vehicle without restarting the
engine will require more effort for
steering and braking operations and
may result in an accident.

Rearview camera (if equipped)When the gearshift lever is shifted to “R”
position while the ignition switch is in “ON”
position or the ignition mode is ON, the
rearview camera system automatically
shows the view behind the vehicle on the
display.
Rearview camera location
75RM128
(1) Rearview camera
The rearview camera is installed beside
the license plate light.
WA R N I N G
The distance viewed in the rearview
camera may differ from the actual
distance according to the condition
of road or the load the vehicle is car-
rying. Since the camera display area
is also limited, backing up by only
looking at the display may cause an
accident or a crash with an object.
The rearview camera cannot replace
the driver’s attention. The driver
alone is responsible for parking and
similar driving maneuvers.
• Use the rearview camera only to provide driving assistance.
• Always drive carefully confirming
the safety of the rear and the sur-
rounding conditions by looking
directly with your eyes and using
the rear view mirror.
• Check that the tailgate is securely closed when backing up.
NOTICE
If you use the rearview camera for a
long time when the ignition switch is
in “ON” position or the ignition mode
is ON, but the engine is not running,
the lead-acid battery may discharge.
Do not leave the ignition switch in
“ON” position or the ignition mode
ON for a long time when the engine is
not running.
NOTICE
The rearview camera is a precision
instrument. If you strike the camera,
it may be broken and cause damage
resulting in a catch fire or a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not strike the camera.
• Do not remove snow or mud on thecamera lens with a stick.

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.
