OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
How grip control system works
When the grip control switch is on and one
side of the tires is slipping, the grip control
system assists you in smooth starting by
controlling the driving force and brake
force of all wheels.
• When the ESP
® system is off, the grip
control system cannot be activated.
NOTE:
While the grip control system is working,
the ESP
® warning light blinks.
Hill hold control sys tem (if equipped)The hill hold control system is designed to
assist you in starting to move up hills.
When you start to move up a hill, the sys-
tem helps to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing downward (for approximately 2
seconds) while you move your foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The hill hold control system activates for a
maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is
moved from the brake pedal when the fol-
lowing conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear.
2) The parking brake is released.
3) For manual transaxle models, the clutch pedal is depressed.
4) The vehicle is o n an upward incline.
CAUTION
To activate the grip control system,
push the grip control switch and
check that the indicator on the switch
turns on.
WA R N I N G
• Do not rely excessively on the hill
hold control system. The hill hold
control system may not prevent the
vehicle from rolling downward on a
hill under all load or road condi-
tions. Always be prepared to
depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling downward.
Failure to pay attention and
depress the brake pedal to hold the
vehicle on a hill when necessary,
may result in loss of control or an
accident.
• The hill hold control system is not designed to stop the vehicle on a
hill. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• After you release your foot from the
brake pedal, accelerate the vehicle
to move up immediately. If you
release your foot from the brake
pedal over 2 seconds, the hill hold
control system will be canceled. If
so, the vehicle may roll downward,
which can result in an accident
depending on the degree of slope.
And, the engine may stall and the
power assist for the steering and
brakes will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual which can result in an
accident or vehicle damage.

5-9OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
75RM4-01E
Center console tray (1)
Front cup holders (2) / Rear cup holder (5)Use the rear cup holder to put a cup with a
lid or a bottle with a cap. Also, you can put
small articles in the rear cup holder.
Front bottle holder (3) / Rear bottle holder (6)You should only place a bottle with a cap in
the holder.Front seat back pocket (4) (if equipped)
75RM011
This pocket is provided for holding light
and soft things such as gloves, newspa-
pers or magazines.
WA R N I N G
Do not place any objects which may
fall out from the pocket when the
vehicle is moving.
Failure to take the precaution may
result in an object interfering with the
pedals and causing a loss of vehicle
control or an accident.
WA R N I N G
Failure to take the precautions listed
below could cause personal injury or
vehicle damage.
• Be careful when you are using the
cup holders to hold a cup contain-
ing liquid. Spilling out hot liquid
can cause burn injury. Spilling liq-
uids on the lithium-ion battery in
models equipped with ENG A-
STOP system or SHVS may cause a
fire or electric shock or damage to
the battery.
• Do not use the cup holders to hold sharp-edged, hard or breakable
objects. Objects in the cup holders
may be thrown about during a sud-
den stop or impact, and could
cause personal injury.
• Be careful not to spill liquid or insert any foreign materials into the
moving part of the gearshift lever,
or any electrical components. Liq-
uid or foreign materials may dam-
age these parts.
• If you spill, or drop liquid acciden- tally, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.
CAUTION
Do not put hard or breakable objects
in the pocket. If an accident occurs,
objects such as bottles, cans, etc.
can injure the occupants in the rear
seat.EXAMPLE

Spark plug gap “a”
ILZKR6F11:
1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.039 – 0.043 in.)
(For K12M engine model)
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Continuously variable transaxle (CVT) fluidSpecified fluidUse a CVT fluid SUZUKI CVT FLUID
GREEN-2.Fluid level checkYou must check the fluid level with the CVT
fluid at normal ope rating temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the CVT fluid, drive the vehicle for more 5 km. NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull-
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
2) Park your vehicle on level ground.
3) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
4) With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
gear, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
NOTICE
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the specified
plugs, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”
section in the end of this book. If you
wish to use a brand of spark plug
other than the specified plugs, con-
sult your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the specified CVT
fluid. Using CVT fluid other than
SUZUKI CVT FLUID GREEN-2 may
damage the CVT of your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or
the vehicle can move suddenly.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
2-wheel drive (2WD) CVTCVT vehicles may be towed using either of
the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheelslifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, make sure that
the parking brak e is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and a dolly under the front wheels.
2-wheel drive (2WD) manual tran-saxle or Auto Gear ShiftManual transaxle vehicles or Auto Gear
Shift vehicles may be towed using either of
the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheelslifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, check that the
parking brake is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and the front wheels on the
ground, provided the steering and
drivetrain are in operational condition.
Before towing, check that transaxle is in
neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked
(vehicle without keyl ess push start sys-
tem - the ignition key should be in
“ACC” position) (vehicle with keyless
push start system - the ignition mode is
ACC), and the steering wheel is
secured with a clamping device
designed for towing service.
4-wheel drive (4WD)Your vehicle should be towed under one of
the following conditions:
1) With all four wheels on a flat-bed truck.
2) With the front or rear wheels lifted and a dolly under the other wheels.
NOTICE
Towing your vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground can result in
damage to the CVT.
NOTICE
The steering column is not strong
enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the fr ont wheels during
towing. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever to the “N” position,
always check the gear position indi-
cator in the instrument cluster shows
the “N” position to make sure that the
transaxle is disengaged.
If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-
tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to
the “ON” position or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
ON, and move the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever from “N” to “D”, “M”
or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then
turn the key from the “ON” to the
“LOCK” position or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF). These procedures may
help put the transaxle in neutral. If
the transaxle still cannot be put in
neutral, you cannot tow the vehicle
without using a towing dolly.
