Rear seatsSeat adjustment (if equipped)
WA R N I N G
Improperly using the seat heater can
be hazardous. An occupant can suf-
fer burns even if the heating tempera-
ture is fairly low, if the occupant
wears thin pants, a thin skirt or
shorts and leaves the heater on for
long periods.
Avoid using the seat heater for these
occupants:
• People who have reduced feeling intheir legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
• Small children or anyone with sen-
sitive skin.
• People who are asleep or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
which make them tired.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heater ele-
ment:
• Do not subject the front seats toheavy impacts, such as children
jumping on them.
• Do not cover the seat with any insulating materials such as blan-
kets or cushions.
WA R N I N G
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
check that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
WA R N I N G
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.
WA R N I N G
Do not place any object under the
rear seat equipped with the seat posi-
tion adjustment lever. If an object
becomes caught under the rear seat,
the seat will not be latched.

– Economy
–Comfort
• 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. TPMS

Electric power steering light
79J039
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. When the engine is started, the
light goes out.
If this light comes on while driving, the
power steering system may not work prop-
erly. Have the system inspected by your
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
The following steering wheel operations
may gradually take more effort while park-
ing or driving at a very low speed. This is
not a malfunction of the steering system,
but the power steering control system lim-
its the power assist in order to prevent it
from overheating.
• The steering wheel is operated veryoften.
• The steering wheel is kept in a fully turned position for a long while.
When the power steering control system
cools down, the powe r steering system will
return to its original condition. However, repeating these operations could
cause damage to the power steering sys-
tem.
NOTE:
If the power steering system does not work
properly, it will require greater effort to
steer, but you still will be able to steer.
NOTE:
If the steering is operated, you may hear
noise caused by electric power steering
operation. This is normal and indicates that
the power steering system works properly.
High engine coolant temperature warning light (red color)
54G344
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. If this light blinks while
driving, it means the engine is running hot.
Avoid driving conditions that may lead to
actual overheating. If the light stays on
without blinking, then the engine is over-
heating. Follow the instructions in “Engine
trouble: Overheating” in the “EMER-
GENCY SERVICE” section.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.

Hazard warning switch
75RM324
Push in the hazard warning switch to acti-
vate the hazard warning lights. All turn sig-
nal lights and both turn signal indicators
will flash simultaneously. To turn off the
lights, push the switch again.
Use the hazard warning lights to warn
other drivers of possible risk of traffic haz-
ard when you park your vehicle in case of
emergency.
Windshield wiper and washer lever
65D611
Wiper and washer operationWhen the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is ON, you can use
the wiper/washer lever or switch (if
equipped).
When the wipers are under heavy load
such as covered by snow, the breaker will
be activated and the wipers will stop oper-
ating to protect the wiper motor from over-
heating.
If the wiper stops during operation, do the
following methods.
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, andturn the engine off.
2) Move the wiper lever and switch to “OFF” position.
3) Remove obstacles such as snow on the wipers.
4) After a while, when the temperature of
the wiper motor becomes low enough,
the breaker will be reset automatically
and the wipers will be able to use.
If you cannot use the wipers after a while,
there may be another problem. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to have the wipers
inspected.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
To avoid possible injury, do not oper-
ate controls by reaching through the
steering wheel.

NOTE:
• Even when the remote controller is in theinterior workable area, if it is in any of the
following conditions, you may not be
able to start the engine or select the igni-
tion modes, and the REMOTE CON-
TROLLER OUTSIDE warning may be
given.
– The remote controller’s battery is low.
– The remote controller is affected by strong radio signals or noise.
– The remote controller is in contact with
or covered by a metallic object.
– The remote controller is in stowage such as the glove box or a door
pocket.
– The remote controller is in the sun
visor pocket or on the floor.
• Even when the remote controller is out- side the interior workable area, if it is in
any of the following conditions, you may
be able to start the engine or select the
ignition mode. The REMOTE CON-
TROLLER OUTSIDE warning may not
be given at that time.
– The remote controller is outside the
vehicle but very close to a door.
– The remote controller is on the instru-

Parking brake lever
54G039
(1) To set
(2) To release
(3) To release
The parking brake lever is located between
the seats. To set the parking brake, hold
the brake pedal down and pull the parking
brake lever all the way up. To release the
parking brake, hold the brake pedal down,
pull up slightly on the parking brake lever,
push the button on the end of the lever
with your thumb, and lower the lever to its
original position. For CVT vehicles, always set the parking
brake before moving the gearshift lever to
“P” (PARK) position. If you park on an
incline and shift into “P” before setting the
parking brake, the weight of the vehicle
may make it difficult to shift out of “P” when
you are ready to drive the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle, move
the gearshift lever out of “P” position
before releasing the parking brake.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life may be
shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.
• If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.

Clutch pedal (1)A clutch pedal is used to disengage the
drive to the wheels when starting the
engine, stopping, or shifting the gearshift
lever. Depressing the pedal disengages
the clutch.Brake pedal (2)Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Depressing a brake pedal applies both
sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal
when you apply the brakes. This is a nor-
mal condition caused by environmental
factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc.
Accelerator pedal (3)An accelerator pedal controls the speed of
the engine. Depressing the accelerator
pedal increases power output and speed.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear, clutch dam-
age, or unexpected loss of engine
braking.
WA R N I N G
If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are
applied, you should have the brakes
checked by your SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
Do not apply brakes continuously or
rest your foot on the brake pedal.
This will result in overheating of the
brakes which could cause unpredict-
able braking action, longer stopping
distances, or permanent brake dam-
age.
