OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
Eco-Cool (if equipped)When driving while using the air condi-
tioner, cold air is stored in the cooling stor-
age medium of the air conditioner unit.
Since stored cold air will be blown into the
vehicle when the engine has been stopped
automatically by the ENG A-STOP system,
the rise of the inside temperature can be
reduced when the air conditioner is not
running.
For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, reducing the rise of the
inside temperature increases the length of
time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally, leading to improved fuel economy.
NOTE:
Sufficient cold air may not be stored if the
vehicle has not been running for very long
or in a traffic jam. The effect varies
depending on the outside temperature and
the air conditioner settings.
I/S AC Settings (if equipped)• When using the automatic heating andair conditioning system (if equipped),
you can select one of the following set-
tings via the setting mode of the informa-
tion display.
– Standard
– Economy
–Comfort
For details on how to use the information
display, refer to “Information display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• When “Economy” is selected, engine auto stop condition is eased, compared
with “Standard”. Engine auto stop condi-
tion will occur more f requently, the stop
time will be longer, leading to reduction
of fuel consumption.
• When “Comfort” is sel ected, engine auto
stop condition becomes severe, com-
pared with “Standard”. Engine auto stop
condition will occur less frequently, the
stop time will be shorter, leading to more
comfortable cabin condition by air condi-
tioner.
Cruise control (if equipped)The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a steady speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal. The
controls for operating the cruise control
system are on the steering wheel.
You can use the cruise control system
under the following conditions:
• For manual transaxle vehicle, the gear position is in 3rd, 4th or 5th.
• For CVT vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear position is in 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th or 7th in the manual mode
(if equipped).
• For Auto Gear Shift vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear posi-
tion is in 3rd, 4th or 5th in the manual
mode.
• The vehicle speed is about 45 km/h (28
mph) or higher.
WA R N I N G
To help avoid loss of vehicle control,
do not use the cruise control system
when driving in heavy traffic, on slip-
pery or winding roads, or on steep
downhills.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
Be careful of the following when operat-
ing with the cruise control
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the
dual camera brake support, it cannot auto-
matically adjust to the speed of the vehicle
in front of you. Turn off the cruise control
system if you cannot operate safely at a
cruising speed.
Even in the following conditions, the set
indicator (5) will not go off and the cruising
speed will not be canceled.
• When the frontal collision warning isworking. If you depress the brake pedal,
the cruise speed will be canceled tempo-
rarily.
• When the stereo camera detects dirt on
the windshield and the dual camera
brake support stops functioning. For
safety purposes, push the cruise switch
(1) to turn off the cru ise indicator (4).
If the automatic brake system is working,
the cruise indicator (4) will turn off and the
cruise control system will be canceled.
Once you have determined that the condi-
tions are once again safe, reset the cruise
speed.
Changing speed temporarilyWhen the cruising speed is maintained,
you can temporarily accelerate or deceler-
ate.
To accelerate, depre ss the accelerator
pedal. When you take your foot off the
pedal, your vehicle will return to the set
speed.
To decelerate, depress the brake pedal.
The set speed will be canceled and the set
indicator (5) or “SET” indicator light (7) will
go off.
To resume the previously set speed, push
up the “RES +/SET –” switch (3) and turn
on the set indicator (5) or “SET” indicator
light (7) again when vehicle speed is
above 45 km/h (28 mph). The vehicle will
accelerate to and maintain the previously
set speed.
NOTE:
For CVT with manual mode or Auto Gear
Shift vehicle, when the cruising speed is
maintained, you cannot decelerate by
using the engine brake even if you down-
shift from higher gear to 3rd in the manual
mode.
To decelerate while the cruise control is
on, depress the brake pedal or push down
the “RES +/SET –” switch (3).
Changing cruising speedUsing the accelerator pedal
To reset at a faster cruising speed, accel-
erate to the desired speed using the accel-
erator pedal and push down the “RES +/
SET –” switch (3). The new speed will be
maintained.
Using the brake pedal
To reset at a slower cruising speed, decel-
erate to the desired speed using the brake
pedal and push down the “RES +/SET –”
switch (3). The new speed will be main-
tained.
NOTE:
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
set indicator (5) or “ SET” indicator light (7)
goes off until the cruising speed is reset.
Using “RES +/ SET –” switch
To reset at a faster cruising speed, press
repeatedly or hold push up the “RES +/
SET –” switch (3). Vehicle speed will
steadily increase. When you release the
switch, the new speed will be maintained.
To reset at a slower cruising speed, press

DRIVING TIPS
75RM4-01E
CVT
75RM296
• When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a lack
of power. If this happens, you should
shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal
power range. Shift rapidly to prevent the
vehicle from losing momentum.
• When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by shifting to
the next lower gear.
Driving on slippery roads
60G089S
On wet roads, you shou ld drive at a lower
speed than you do on dry roads due to
possible slippage of tires during braking.
When driving on icy, snow-covered or
muddy roads, reduce your speed and
avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking,
or sharp steering movements.
4WD models
Your 4WD is designed to get better traction
on slippery roads than 2-wheel drive mod-
els. However, your 4WD will not have as
much traction in deep snow, mud or sand
as multipurpose 4WD vehicles. You should
not attempt to drive your 4WD in deep
snow, mud or sand. 4WD models are not
sport/utility vehicles, and are not designed
for off-road use.
WA R N I N G
Do not hold the brake pedal down too
long or too often while going down a
steep or long hill. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Failure to
take this precaution could result in
loss of vehicle control.
NOTICE
When descending a downhill, Never
turn the ignition key to “LOCK” posi-
tion or press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF). Emission control system and
CVT (if equipped) damage may result.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
To w b a r sOnly use a tow bar that is designed to
attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a
hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar.
We recommend that you use a genuine
SUZUKI tow bar (available as option), or
equivalent.Safety chainsAlways attach safety chains between your
vehicle and trailer. Cross safety chains
under the nose of the trailer so that the
nose will not drop to the road if the trailer
becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol-
low the manufacturer’s recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always leave
just enough slack to permit full turning.
Never allow safety chains to drag on the
road.
Trailer lightsCheck that your trailer is equipped with
lights which meet local requirements.
Always check for the proper operation of
all trailer lights before you start to tow.Brakes
WA R N I N G
For vehicles equipped with the dual
camera brake support, if your vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, press the dual
camera brake support OFF switch
and turn off the dual camera brake
support. If not, unexpected acci-
dents related to the system being
turned on may occur.
NOTICE
Trailer towing puts additional stress
on the engine, drive train and brakes
of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer
during the first 960 km (600 miles) of
vehicle operation.
NOTICE
When towing by a vehicle with CVT
on a long steep hill, try to take some
rest on the way to prevent overheat
or damage of the engine or transaxle.
WA R N I N G
Never use a tow bar which attaches
to the axle or the bumper of your
vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Never attach safety chains to the
bumper of your vehicle. Secure con-
nections so that they cannot come
loose.
WA R N I N G
Never connect trailer lights directly
into your vehicle’s electrical system,
or electrical system damage may
occur.
WA R N I N G
If trailer brakes are used, follow all
instructions provided by the manu-
facturer. Never connect to the brake
system of your vehicle and never
take an electrical supply directly from
the wiring harness.

(Continued)
• Be careful when overtaking othervehicles. Allow enough room for
your trailer before changing lanes,
and use turn signal lights properly
in advance.
• Slow down and shift into a lower gear before you reach long or steep
downhill grades. It is hazardous to
attempt downshifting while you are
descending a hill.
• Do not step on the brake pedal strongly. This could cause the
brakes to over-heat resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Use
engine braking as much as possi-
ble.
• Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep hills. Pay attention to your
engine temperature. If the high
engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light (red color) indicates over-
heating, pull off the road and stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine trouble: Overheating” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When parking your vehicle and con-
nected trailer, always use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have another person place wheel
chocks under the wheels of the
vehicle and the trailer while you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual transaxle – turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or
first gear.
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position indicator in the instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle is engaged in 1st or
reverse, then turn off the engine.
CVT – shift into “P” (Park) and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress the clutch and start the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake, and slowly pull away from
the chocks.
3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and hold them.
4) Have another person remove the
chocks.
