A WARNING
The detection performance of the dual sensor has limits and the dual sensor cannot detect all vehicles, pedestrian, object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.), partition lines or traffic sign. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. • Observe the following instructions in order to keep the dual sensor functioning properly. If mishandled, the dual sensor cannot accurately detect a vehicle, a pedestrian, an object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.) or partition lines in front of you, the system will not function properly and unexpected accidents may occur. -Do not touch the lens of the dual sensor. -Do not clean the lens of the dual sensor by yourself. -Do not strike the body of, or any surrounding parts of the dual sensor. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) -Do not remove or disassemble the dual sensor. -Do not stick or affix anything to the lens of the dual sensor, not even clear items. • When the windshield around the dual sensor is deformed or damaged, or the windshield in front of the dual sensor is cracked because of an accident, the dual sensor cannot detect an obstacle in front of you, a pedestrian, an object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.), partition lines or traffic signs properly. If driving with these damaged parts, the dual sensor brake support will not function properly and unexpected accidents may occur. Operate the dual sensor brake support OFF switch to turn off the dual sensor brake support, and ask a SUZUKI dealer to have them inspected. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) Do not apply any accessories (other than SUZUKI genuine accessories), films or stickers to the area listed below. These may affect with visibility of the dual sensor. If the area of the dual sensor is obstructed, the dual sensor cannot detect any vehicles, pedestrians, objects of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.), partition lines or traffic signs properly and the dual sensor brake support may not function properly. Also, if applying them to an area other than the prohibited area, it may affect with the function of the dual sensor by reflection of light or an image. In this case, move them to another place. -On windshield

NOTE: When the function of the dual sensor is temporarily stopped or malfunctioning, all of following functions will be turned off. Dual sensor brake support Lane departure warning Vehicle swaying warning High beam assist Traffic sign recognition
Temporary stop of the dual sensor Under the following situations, the function of the dual sensor stops temporarily. When the situations are improved, the temporary stop of the function will be canceled. When the visibility of the dual sensor is poor Refer to "Situations where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details. When the temperature of the body of dual sensor is high When the systems related to the dual sensor brake support are stopped temporarily When the battery has a voltage abnormality
Failure of the dual sensor When the dual sensor is faulty, the function of the dual sensor is stopped until the ignition switch is turned to "LOCK". Find a safe place to park and turn the ignition switch to "LOCK". Restart the engine, and check that the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light go off. If all of the indicators stay on after restarting the engine, there may be a failure of the dual sensor. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to have the dual sensor inspected.
NOTE: Under the following situations, the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light come on after the engine has been started, it does not indicate a malfunction. Once the ignition switch to is turned to "LOCK" position and then the engine is restarted, these indicators will go off. -When the automatic brake system has been operating 3 times -When the automatic brake system has been operating for long periods
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
The function of the dual sensor is stopped if the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light come on and there may be a failure of the dual sensor, but it r}oes not hinder normal driving.

A WARNING
Even when the detection conditions are satisfied, not all pedestrians may be detected by the dual sensor. In the following situations, there may be a high possibility of undetectable or delay of detection. Always drive in a safe manner. • A person who walks in a group • A person who walks beside a wall or another obstacle A person who has an umbrella up A person whose color is similar to the background and who is blended into the scenery • A person who has a big luggage • A person who walks with a stoop or who crouches. • A person who is lying down • A person who is in a dark place • A person who jumps out in front of you • A person at night
NOTE: As the function of the dual sensor brake support is different depending on some destinations or areas, there are type of vehicles with the function not to detect the pedestrians.

Situations where the dual sensor may not activate properly In the following situations, there may be a high possibility that the dual sensor cannot detect a vehicle, a pedestrian, an object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you and street lamps, etc.), partition lines or traffic sign. Also the function of the dual sensor may be stopped temporarily. When the situations are improved, the temporary stop of the function will be canceled.

Emergency stop signal (ESS) (if equipped)
ESS stands for Emergency Stop Signal.
ESS is a feature t_hat gives a warning to a following vehicle by fiashing all turn signal lights faster than usual 1f all the following conditions are met. Also, within these conditions, it will fiash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster. • When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or over. • When the ABS is activated or when you suddenly brake similar to activating the ABS.
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations: • When you release the brake When the ABS is no longer activated When you turn on the hazard warning switch When the car is no longer rapidly decelerating

A WARNING
Although the ESS is designed to reduce the number of rear-end collisions that occur from sudden braking, by warning a following vehicle, it cannot prevent all collisions. Always make an effort to drive safely and avoid unnecessary sudden braking when stopping or decelerating.
NOTE: The ESS feature cannot be deactivated. • Use of the hazard warning switch should be given preference over the ESS. When driving on the following surfaces and the ABS gives out momentarily, the ESS may not function. -When driving on slippery surfaces -When driving over bumps on the road such as highway joint seams

Braking
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicle to a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. The braking distance needed, for example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be approximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19 mph). Start to depress the brake pedal when there is plenty of distance between your vehicle and the stopping point, and slow down gradually.
3-53
A WARNING
If water gets into the brake devices, brake performance may become poor and unpredictable. After driving through water or washing the underside of the vehicle, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness.
Power-assisted brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If power assistance is lost due to a stalled engine or other failures, the system is still fully operational on reserve power and you can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal once and holding it down. The reserve power is partly used up when you depress the brake pedal and reduces each time the pedal is pressed. Apply smooth and even pressure to the pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
A WARNING
Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. However, the stopping distance may be
longer.
Brake assist system
When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system determines it to be an emergency stop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly.
