SUZUKI SAFETY SUPPORT
(if equipped)
Dual sensor brake support
Dual sensor brake support is a system that detects a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of your vehicle by the dual sensor, attempts to avoid a collision by giving warning to the driver, and attempts to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
A WARNING
• Dual sensor brake support has limits and may not function properly depending on the driving conditions. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself. Check that all passengers fasten their seat belts when the vehicle is being operated. When the system is activated, there is a risk of serious injury from being thrown.
NOTE: While the system is working, if a vehicle in front of you moves outside the dual sensor's detection field or the vehicle can no longer be detected, the system may stop functioning. While the system is working, a braking sound may be heard even if you do not depress the brake pedal, but this is normal. • As the function of the dual sensor brake support is different depending on some destinations or areas, there are type of vehicles with the function not to detect the pedestrians.
Frontal collision warning When there is a risk of a frontal collision, a warning will be given through the information display and sound.

Also, the indication on the information display and the dual sensor brake support indicator light will go off 3 seconds after the automatic brake system is released.
A CAUTION
After the vehicle has been stopped by the automatic brake system, immediately depress the brake pedal. If your vehicle is equipped with the automatic transmission, and when the automatic brake system is released, the vehicle will start to move by the creeping function. This may result in an accident.
NOTE: If you do not depress the clutch pedal when the vehicle has been stopped by the automatic brake system, the engine will stall.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Situations where the system may activate by chance Under the following situations, the dual sensor may judge that there is a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, and the system may activate. Drive carefully and calmly. When passing through a toll booth with more than recommended speeds Before the parking lot gates or railroad crossing gates are opened fully When operating on hills that have varying slopes When you suddenly accelerate and approach the vehicle in front of you or on neighboring lane Front visibility is poor due to that there is water vapor, sand or smoke or when the vehicle in front of you or on oncoming lane is surrounded by exhaust gas, water or snow When passing through masses of water vapor or smoke When stopping close to an obstacle in. front of you When passing through near a vehicle or obstacle

Frontal collision warning There is a risk of a frontal collision and a warning will work under the following situations. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 15 km/h to 140 km/h (9 mph to 87 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 15 km/h to 60 km/h (9 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
The interior buzzer will intermittently beep and the indication on the information dis
play will appear.

When the frontal collision warning sounds, depending on the distance from the vehicle in front of you and driving conditions, take evasive action with the steering wheel or brake pedal.
Brake assist system Under the followings and there is a high probability of a frontal collision, the brake assist system provides more powerful braking when you slam down on the brake pedal. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 15 km/h to 80 km/h (9 mph to 50 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 15 km/h to 60 km/h (9 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
When the brake assist system activates, the frontal collision warning also activates at the same time.
Automatic brake system Under the followings and a frontal collision is judged to be unavoidable, the brakes will powerfully operate automatically. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 5 km/h to 100 km/h (3 mph to 62 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 5 km/h to 60 km/h (3 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.
When the automatic brake system is activated at a speed of approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or under toward the vehicle in front of you (or toward the pedestrian, approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or under), collisions may be avoidable.
While the automatic brake system is activating, the interior buzzer will continuously beep, the dual sensor brake support indicator light will blink rapidly, the indication on the information display will appear, and the brake lights will come on.

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.

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.
