Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. 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.

When dirt is detected on the sensor
cover
If the message (4) does not disappear,
perform the following procedure.
1) Find a safe place to park and change
the ignition switch to “LOCK” position or
the ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF) by
pressing the engine switch.
2) Clean the sensor cover with a soft
cloth.
3) Change the ignition switch to “ON”
position or the ignition mode to “ON” by
pressing the engine switch.
4) Check that the message (4) appears for
about 3 seconds and then disappears.
• If you clean the sensor cover and drive
the vehicle, but the message (4) appears
again, there might be another problem.
Contact an authorized SUZUKI dealer
for further assistance.NOTE:
In the following situations, the radar brake
support system warning light (3) may come
on, the message (4) may appear and the
radar brake support system may be deacti-
vated automatically, even if there is no dirt
on the sensor cover.
• In a tunnel
• A road where there are concrete walls
on both sides
• A road where there are metal fences on
one side
• Around overpasses or grade separated
crossings
• When there is bad weather such as
heavy rain or snow
• A road where there are puddles
In these situations, the radar brake support
system is stop functioning temporarily,
because millimeter-waves emanating from
the radar sensor cause diffused reflection
and a position of the vehicle in front of you
cannot be detected correctly.
If you drive the vehicle for about 2 minutes
after the above situations have improved,
these indicator and message will turn off
and the radar brake support system will
turn back on.

Rearview camera
(if equipped)
When the gearshift lever is shifted to “R”
position while the ignition switch is in “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”, the
rearview camera system automatically
shows the view behind the vehicle on the
display.
Rearview camera location
54P000316
(1) Rearview camera
The rearview camera is installed beside
the license plate light.
WA R N I N G
The distance viewed in the rearview
camera may differ from the actual
distance according to the condition
of road or the load the vehicle is car-
rying. Since the camera display area
is also limited, backing up by only
looking at the display may cause an
accident or a crash with an object.
The rearview camera cannot replace
the driver’s attention. The driver
alone is responsible for parking and
similar driving maneuvers.
• Use the rearview camera only to
provide driving assistance.
• Always drive carefully confirming
the safety of the rear and the sur-
rounding conditions by looking
directly with your eyes and using
the rear view mirror.
• Check that the tailgate is securely
closed when backing up.
NOTICE
If you use the rearview camera for a
long time when the ignition switch is
in “ON” position or the ignition mode
is “ON”, but the engine is not run-
ning, the battery may discharge.
Do not leave the ignition switch in
“ON” position or the ignition mode
“ON” for a long time when the engine
is not running.
NOTICE
The rearview camera is a precision
instrument. If you strike the camera,
it may be broken and cause damage
resulting in a catch fire or a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not strike the camera.
• Do not remove snow or mud on the
camera lens with a stick.

If the rear view from the rearview cam-
era is not shown or there is a poor
image
• If the rear view from the rearview camera
is not shown.
– Check that the ignition switch is in
“ON” position or the ignition mode is
“ON”.
– Check that the gearshift lever is
shifted to “R” position.
• If the image from the rearview camera is
poor.
– Check that the camera lens is not dirty.
– Check that light from the sun or the
beam of the headlights from the vehi-
cle behind is not shining directly into
the lens.
If the rearview camera system is still not
working properly after checking the above,
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.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.
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.
WA R N I N G
If water gets into the brake devices,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the under-
side 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.

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.
Electronic stability program
(ESP®)
ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP
®)
helps to control the vehicle during corner-
ing 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 selectively
applying the brakes. In addition, ESP
®
helps to avoid skidding by controlling brak-
ing pressure.
WA R N I N G
• 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 your 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 simultane-
ously 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 slip-
pery road or when hard braking
even on a dry paved road. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS
system immediately. Drive care-
fully, avoiding hard braking as
much as possible.
WA R N I N G
The ABS may not work properly if
tires 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 tires or
wheels, use only the size and type
specified in this owner’s manual.
WA R N I N G
The ESP® cannot enhance the vehi-
cle’s driving stability in all situations
and does not control your vehicle’s
entire braking system. The ESP
® can-
not prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed
in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe
and attentive drive can prevent acci-
dents. The capabilities of an ESP
®-
equipped vehicle must never be used
as a substitute for careful driving.

3-77
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
54P00-01E
The ESP® has the following three sys-
tems:
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 pre-
vent the vehicle from skidding when cor-
nering 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 oper-
ates 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 limit wheel spin.
NOTE:
You may hear a clunking sound when you
start the engine or after the vehicle begins
to move. This means that the above sys-
tems 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 elec-
tronically controlling braking pressure. It
will also help you maintain steering control
when braking on slippery surfaces or when
braking hard. The ABS works automati-
cally, so you do not have to use any spe-
cial braking technique. Just push the brake
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 “Brak-
ing” in this section.)
NOTE:
If the ABS system is activated, you may
hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsating
in the brake pedal. This is normal and indi-
cates that the brake fluid pressure is being
controlled properly.WA R N I N G
• The ESP® may not work properly if
tires or wheels other than those
specified in the owner’s manual are
used. When replacing tires or
wheels, use only the size and type
specified in this owner’s manual.
• The ESP
® may not work properly if
tires are not inflated to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure.
• The ESP
® may not work properly if
tires are fitted with tire chains.
• The ESP
® may not work properly if
the tires are excessively worn.
Replace tires when the tread wear
indicators in the grooves appear on
the tread surface.
• The ESP
® is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a
snow-covered road.
WA R N I N G
• The ESP® may not work properly if
engine related parts such as the
muffler are not equivalent to stan-
dard equipment or are extremely
deteriorated.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s sus-
pension since the ESP
® may not
work properly.

This light blinks 5 times per second when
one of the following systems is activated.
• Stability control system
• Traction control system
• Hill descent control system (if equipped)
If this light blinks, drive carefully.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position, or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working.NOTE:
When the ESP
® warning light comes on
