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.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: When you select the "4L" position the ESF'® systems (other than ABS) w/11 be canceled to provide improved vehicle traction, and the ESF'® OFF indicator light, dual sensor brake support OFF indicator light and lane departure warn­ing OFF indicator light will come on. When you select the "4L" position bra­ketraction control can be activated'. Bra­ketraction control brakes the spinning wheel to distribute drive power to the other wheels for increased climbing abil­ity or for better performance on a rolling hill or a slippery surface. If dual sensor brake support OFF indica­tor light and lane departure warning OFF indicator light come on or go off, the inte­nor buzzer beeps. This is not a ma/func­tion.

Transfer lever operation
NOTICE
Unevenly worn tyres can cause problems in the operation of the transfer lever. Be sure to rotate the tyres according to the maintenance schedule. Refer to "Tyres" and "Maintenance Schedule" in the "INSPECTION AND MAINTE­NANCE" section for proper tyre rotation procedures. If a problem exists during the shift­ing function, all lights of the 4WD indicator will blink continuously and the transfer lever operation will not work. If the shift function does not work after trying the shifting operation several times, it may be the result of a system failure. Have the sys­tem inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: When the temperature of 4-whee/ drive system or the transmission is not warm ':'nder the low temperature, you may feel ,t hard to shift the transfer lever or gear n01se may occur. Unless you can shift the transfer lever drive your vehicle for a while and the/2 shift the transfer lever again.
Operate the transfer lever according to the appropriate procedure described below:
From u2H" position to "4H" position Fr " 11 • • " " • •
