A. WARNING
(Continued) Always return the ignition switch to "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key when leaving the vehi­cle even only for a short time. Also do not leave children alone in a parked vehicle. Unattended chil­dren may be able to start the vehi­cle or shift the transmission into neutral, which could result in an accident. There is also a danger that children may injure them­selves by playing with the power windows or other moving features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold tem­peratures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTICE
For protection of a lead-acid bat­tery and a starter motor, do not use the starter motor by turning the key to "START" for more than 12 sec­onds at a time. If the engine dose not start, turn the key to "LOCK" position and wait for more than 30 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, consult a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop. Do not leave the ignition switch in "ON" position if the engine is not running as the lead-acid battery will discharge.

NOTICE
• Never operate your vehicle in 114H" or 114L" on dry pavement and, as much as possible, avoid using "4H" or "4L" on wet pavement, as this may seriously damage the drive train.
• If the transfer lever is returned to the original position while shifting the transfer lever, the drive train may be damaged . . When you turn suddenly on a sharp curve, a side road, or a parking space in "4H" or 114L" position, the turning strength of the steering wheel will be growing big and tight corner braking phenomenon• may occur and result in accidents. 4-wheel drive system damage could also result.
''Tight corner braking phenomenon is the similar situation to depress the brake when the drive train is in 4-wheel drive position ("4H" or "4L") and the steering wheel is turned suddenly and then the revolution difference between the front wheels and the rear wheels could not absorb.

A WARNING
• 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 condi­tions, you may n~t feel the vibra­tion of the steering wheel even when the lane departure warning works. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself.
Situations where the system does not activate Under the following situations, the system does not activate. , When dual sensor brake support indica­tor light and lane departu_re warni~g i~di­cator light are 1nitially lighting immediately after the ignition switch is turned to "ON" When the following switches are pushed and the system is turned off: -Lane departure warning OFF switch -ESP® OFF switch When operated the hazard warning switch When the dual sensor is temporarily stopped or malfunctioning
When the system judges that the inten­tional lane change, such as during or after fiashing the turn signal lights
Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. , When you suddenly close to the partition
lines When driving on sharp curves When you do not return to inside of th_e lane after the lane departure warning 1s activated When the electric power steering light
comes on
If the dual sensor cannot detect partition lines except for above situations, t~~ _sys­tem may also not activate. Refer to Situa­tions where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.

The ESP® has the following three sys­tems:
Stability control system
The vehicle stability control system helps provide integrated control of systems such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, engine control, etc. This system automatically controls the brakes and engine to help pre­vent the vehicle from skidding when cor­nering on a slippery road surface or when turning the steering wheel abruptly.
Traction control system
The traction control system automatically helps prevent the spinning of wheels when the vehicle is started or accelerated on slippery road surfaces. The system oper­ates only if it senses that some of the wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system operates the front or rear brakes and reduces engine power to l1m1t wheel spin.
NOTE: You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the above systems are in the self-check mode. This sound does not indicate a malfunc­tion.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec­tronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automati­cally, so you do not have to use any spe­cial braking technique. Just push the brak_e pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal pulsate while the ABS is operating. (For more information on ABS, see "Brak­ing" in this section.)
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 9 km/h (6 mph).
A WARNING
The ESP® may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual. • The ESP® may not work properly if ·tyres are not inflated to the recom­
mended ~re pressure. The ESP" may not work properly if tyres are fitted with snow chains. (Continued)
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
(Continued) • The ESP® may not work properly if the tyres are excessively worn. Replace tyres when the tread wear indicators in the grooves appear on the tread surface. • The ESP® is not a substitute for winter tyres or snow chains on a snowMcovered road.
A WARNING
• The ESP® may not work properly if engine related parts such as the muffler are not equivalent to stan­dard equipment or are extremely deteriorated. Do not modify the vehicle's sus­pension since the ESP® may not work properly.
NOTE: • If the Espi!) system is activated, you may hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsat­ing in the brake pedal. This is. normal and indicates that the brake flwd pres­sure is being controlled properly. You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the above systems are in the self-check mode. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.

A WARNING
(Continued) After you release your foot from the brake pedal, accelerate the vehicle to move up immediately. If you release your foot from the brake pedal over 2 seconds, the hill hold control system will be canceled. If so, the vehicle may roll downward, which can result in an accident depending on the degree of slope. And, the engine may stall and the power assist for the steering and brakes will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual which can result in an accident or vehicle damage. If you drive on the steep slope, the gravel, the sclnow-covered road, or the muddy r I'd and the hill hold control system is activated, there may be a possibility that the wheels will be locked and then the vehicle may lose the control.
The hill hold control system activates for a maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the fol­lowing conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear. 2) The parking brake is released. 3) The vehicle is on an upward incline.
NOTE: When the hill hold control system is acti­vated, the following conditions may be found, but this is not a malfunction. You may hear a sound from the engine room. As brake pedal becomes heavy, it may be difficult for you to depress it.

If the message shown in the above illustra­tion appears on the information display, master warning indicator light blinks and the interior buzzer beeps, there may be a problem with the hill descent control sys­tem and the hill hold control system. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: The hill hold control system will not acti­vate while this message is displayed.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
How to turn off Hill hold control system When driving on a steep slope, or a slip­pery road (icy, snow-covered, muddy, etc), it is possible to deactivate the hill hold con­trol system.
To deactivate the hill hold control system: 1) Make sure that the gear shift lever is in "N" (Neutral) position for manual trans­mission vehicles and automatic trans­mission vehicles. 2) Shift the transfer lever from 4-wheel high range position ("4H") to 4-wheel low range position ("4L").

Improving fuel economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you park your vehicle for more than one minute, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached oper­ating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts F~st starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop­ping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Drive at a constant speed that road and traffic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
EXAMPLE
60A183
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting m decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load is, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Unload any unneces­sary luggage or cargo.
Keep tyre pressures correct Under-infiation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased rolling resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres infiated to the cor­rect pressure shown in the label on driver's door lock pillar.
DRIVING TIPS
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 stopping prnnt to allow for the extra stopping dis­tance. On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehi­cle's tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle during 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 be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex­pected buffeting, which can occur at the exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
