NOTICE
Pay attention to shifting the transfer lever safely when driving your vehicle.
NOTE: After shifting the transfer lever from "2H'" to "4H", check that the 4WD indicator
light comes on. After shifting the transfer lever from "4H" to "2H", check that the 4WD indicator goes off. ·
When 4WD indicator fight is blinking after shifting the transfer fever to "4H" position, accelerate, slow down your vehicle or stop and reverse your vehicle a little to shift the transfer lever. Pay attention to the vehicles and the circumference toward or backward your vehicle when shifting the transfer fever. When you shift the transfer fever while turning the steering wheel or depressing the accelerator pedal, shifting the transfer fever may be difficult. Operate the transfer fever while driving at low speed if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position when the vehicle is stopped.
Shift the transfer fever again after decelerating or stopping the vehicle if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position while driving or when the gear noise occurs. There may be a case to operate the transfer fever heavily when shifting the transfer lever from "4H" position to "2H" P_Osition while driving. In this case, position the front wheels straight ahead and drive for a while and then operate shifting the transfer fever again. When the transfer lever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position and the air locking hubs are activated, the air conditioning system may not be operated for several seconds. This is not a malfunction. When the ignition switch is turned "ON" after the transfer fever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position while stopping the engine, 4WD indicator light may blink. This is not a malfunction.

NOTE: There may be a case that you will feel the difficulty to operate the transfer lever when shifting the transfer lever from "4H" position to "4L" position. Operate the transfer lever into "4L" position surely. When shifting the transfer lever from "4H" position to "4L" position, the buzzer will sound and the function of the ES?® system and the vehicle stability control system will be deactivated. There may be a case that shifting into "4L" position is not completed when the transfer system or the transmission is not warm in the cold weather. There may be a possibility of difficulty to shift especially for automatic transmission vehicles in the cold weather. Follow instructions below in this case and operate the transfer lever again. -Stop the vehicle completely. -Place the transmission in "N" (Neu-tral). -Depress the brake pedal* fully. -Release the parking brake. -Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" posi-tion. -Shift the transfer lever from "4H" position to "4L" position by pressing the transfer lever. -Check whether the vehicle can be moved by moving the vehicle forward or backward slowly. • Depress the brake pedal until the engine is started again.

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.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Automatic brake system When a frontal collision is unavoidable, the brakes will powerfully operate automatically. (#1)
