OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki)The SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by
Suzuki) of this vehicle is a system that
uses generators with motor function (ISG)
to operate the following functions accord-
ing to the driving situations, to increase
quietness of the engine and fuel efficiency.
ISG stands for Integrated Starter Genera-
tor.
•Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion
:
This function generates intensively
during deceleration by using the ISG.
When generation while driving is not
required, the ISG can be stopped to
reduce the load on the engine, leading to
improved fuel economy.
• Motor assistance function: This function assists the engine by using
the ISG as a motor to reduce the power
output of the engine, leading to improved
fuel economy.
• Starter motor function: This function restarts the engine after
being stopped by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem by using the ISG through the drive
belt.
NOTE:
When you restart the engine by pushing
the engine switch, the ordinary starter
motor is used and you will hear a gear
engagement noise. Energy flow indicator
With the energy flow indicator in the instru-
ment cluster, you can check whether or not
the ISG is functioning.
• Normal driving conditions:
The ISG is not functioning.

• Engine has been aut omatically stopped
when the vehicle is stopped:
Stored power is being used by electrical
components, such a s the audio system,
without the batteries being charged.

imate indication. The indication may be
delayed or inaccurate under certain condi-
tions, for example, when the outside tem-
perature is low. Deceleration energy regenerating indi-
cator light

Dual camera brake support (if equipped)Dual camera brake support is a system
that detects obstacles or partition lines in
front of your vehicle by the stereo camera,
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing to the driver, and attempts to reduce
damage in the event of a crash. NOTE:
• While the system is working, if a vehicle
in front of you moves outside of the ste-
reo camera’s detection field or the vehi-
cle 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 nor-
mal.
WA R N I N G
• Dual camera brake support has lim-its and may not function properly
depending on the driving condi-
tions. 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.
