If the message shown in the above illustra­tion appears on the information display, master warning indicator light blinks and the interior buzzer beeps, there may be a problem with the hill descent control sys­tem and the hill hold control system. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: You cannot activate the hill descent control system while this message is displayed.
Hill hold control system
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 sys­tem helps prevent the vehicle from rolling downward (for approximately 2 seconds) while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
A WARNING
• 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 condi­tions. 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)

A WARNING
(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. If you drive on the steep slope, the gravel, the sclnow-covered road, or the muddy r I'd and the hill hold control system is activated, there may be a possibility that the wheels will be locked and then the vehicle may lose the control.
The hill hold control system activates for a maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the fol­lowing conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear. 2) The parking brake is released. 3) The vehicle is on an upward incline.
NOTE: When the hill hold control system is acti­vated, the following conditions may be found, but this is not a malfunction. You may hear a sound from the engine room. As brake pedal becomes heavy, it may be difficult for you to depress it.
