Temporary stop of the dual sensor Under the following situations, the function of the dual sensor stops temporarily. When the situations are improved, the temporary stop of the function will be can­celed. When the visibility of the dual sensor is poor Refer to "Situations where the dual sen­sor may not activate properly" in this section for details. When the temperature of the body of dual sensor is high When the systems related to the dual sensor brake support are stopped tem­porarily When the battery has a voltage abnor­mality
Failure of the dual sensor When the dual sensor is faulty, the function of the dual sensor is stopped until the igni­tion switch is turned to "LOCK". Find a safe place to park and turn the igni­tion switch to "LOCK". Restart the engine, and check that the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light go off. If all of the indicators stay on after restarting the engine, there may be a failure of the dual sensor. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to have the dual sensor inspected.
NOTE: Under the following situations, the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light come on after the engine has been started, it does not indicate a malfunction. Once the ignition switch to is turned to "LOCK" position and then the engine is restarted, these indicators will go off. -When the automatic brake system has been operating 3 times -When the automatic brake system has been operating for long periods

Emergency stop signal (ESS) (if equipped)
ESS stands for Emergency Stop Signal.
ESS is a feature t_hat gives a warning to a following vehicle by fiashing all turn signal lights faster than usual 1f all the following conditions are met. Also, within these conditions, it will fiash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster. • When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or over. • When the ABS is activated or when you suddenly brake similar to activating the ABS.
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations: • When you release the brake When the ABS is no longer activated When you turn on the hazard warning switch When the car is no longer rapidly decelerating

A WARNING
Although the ESS is designed to reduce the number of rear-end colli­sions that occur from sudden brak­ing, by warning a following vehicle, it cannot prevent all collisions. Always make an effort to drive safely and avoid unnecessary sudden braking when stopping or decelerating.
NOTE: The ESS feature cannot be deactivated. • Use of the hazard warning switch should be given preference over the ESS. When driving on the following surfaces and the ABS gives out momentarily, the ESS may not function. -When driving on slippery surfaces -When driving over bumps on the road such as highway joint seams

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
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.
3-53
A WARNING
If water gets into the brake devices, brake performance may become poor and unpredictable. After driving through water or washing the under­side 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.
Power-assisted brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If power assistance is lost due to a stalled engine or other failures, 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.
A WARNING
Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. How­ever, the stopping distance may be
longer.
Brake assist system
When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system determines it to be an emer­gency stop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly.

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 need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that the wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal move a little while the ABS is operating.
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 9 km/h (6 mph). ff the ABS 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 fluid 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
On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered roads, etc.), the stopping distance required for a vehicle with ABS may be slightly greater than the one required for a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding tyres are able to plow the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance. ABS minimizes this resistance effect. Allow for extra stopping dis­tance when driving on loose sur­faces. On regular paved roads, some driv­ers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances with conventional 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 that ABS will not compensate for bad road or weather conditions or poor driver judgment. Use good judg­ment and do not drive too fast.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument cluster comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. If the ABS warning light (1) and the brake system warning light (2) on the instrument cluster simultane­ously stay on or come on while driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slip­pery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive care­fully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible.
3-55
How ABS works
A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly. indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop. you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself.
A WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual.
Electronic stability program
(ESP®)
ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to control the vehicle during corner­ing if front wheels or rear wheels skid. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine's output, and by_ . selective!¥ applying the brakes. In add1t1on, ESP helps to avoid skidding by controlling brak­ing pressure.
A WARNING
The ESP® cannot enhance the vehi­cle's driving stability in all situations and does not control your vehicle's entire braking system. The ESP® can­not prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe and attentive drive can prevent acci­dents. The capabilities of an ESP®­
equipped vehicle must never be used as a substitute for careful driving.

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.
