Wiper and washer operation
When the ignition switch is in "ON" position, you can use the wiper/washer lever.
When the wipers are under heavy load such as covered by snow, the breaker will be activated and the wipers will stop operating to protect the wiper motor from overheating. If the wiper stops during operation, do the following methods.
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn 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 a SUZUKI dealer to have the wipers inspected.

To turn the windshield wipers on, move the lever down to one of the three operating positions. In "INT" position, the wipers operate intermittently. The "INT" position is very convenient for driving in mist or light rain. In "LO" position, the wipers operate at a steady low speed. In "HI" position, the wipers operate at a steady high speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever back to "OFF" position.
Move the lever up and hold it to "MIST" position, the windshield wipers will turn on continuously at low speed.
BEFORE DRIVING
Windshield washer
78RB02060
To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the lever toward you. The windshield wipers will automatically turn on at low speed if they are not already on and your vehicle is equipped with "INT" position.
.A, WARNING
To prevent windshield icing in cold weather, turn on the defroster to heat the windshield before and during windshield washer use. Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer reservoir. It can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle's paint.

Changing cruising speed
Using the accelerator pedal To reset at a faster cruising speed, accelerate to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal and push down the "RES +/SET-" switch (3). The new speed will be main
tained.
Using the brake pedal To reset at a slower cruising speed, decelerate 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, "SET" indicator light (5) or set indicator (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 repeatedly or hold push down the "RES +/ SET -" switch (3) until the vehicle has slowed to the desired speed, and then release the switch. The new speed will be maintained.
NOTE: You can adjust the set speed by approximately 1 km/h (1 mph) by pushing "RES +/ SET-" switch quickly
Cancelling cruise control
"SET' indicator light (5) or set indicator (7) will go off and the cruise control will be canceled temporarily with the following conditions:
Push "CANCEL" switch (2). Depress the brake pedal. For manual transmission vehicle, depress the clutch pedal. For automatic transmission vehicle, the gear position is changed to "L" When the transfer lever is operated, The vehicle speed falls more than about 20 percent from the set speed. Any time the vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25 mph). When the vehicle skids and ESP® is activated.
To resume the previously set speed, push up the "RES +/SET-" switch (3) and turn on "SET' indicator light (5) or set indicator (7). The vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25 mph) when the vehicle is not under the above conditions.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument cluster comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. If the ABS warning light (1) and the brake system warning light (2) on the instrument cluster simultaneously stay on or come on while driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slippery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible.
3-55
How ABS works
A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly. indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop. you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself.
A WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual.
Electronic stability program
(ESP®)
ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to control the vehicle during cornering if front wheels or rear wheels skid. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine's output, and by_ . selective!¥ applying the brakes. In add1t1on, ESP helps to avoid skidding by controlling braking pressure.
A WARNING
The ESP® cannot enhance the vehicle's driving stability in all situations and does not control your vehicle's entire braking system. The ESP® cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe and attentive drive can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESP®
equipped vehicle must never be used as a substitute for careful driving.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
TPMS malfunction indicator
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for about 75 seconds and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is not reset even after the engine is turned off; it remains in the ON state until the normal conditions are restored.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure the replacement or alternation of tyres and wheels to allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTICE
The tyre pressure sensors can be damaged if you do not take proper precautions.
We highly recommend that you have tyres repaired or replaced by a SUZUKI dealer. The tyre pressure sensors can be damaged by installation or removal of tyres. • Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tyre unless your vehicle is equipped with a flat tyre repair kit instead of a spare tyre.
NOTICE
If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on frequently, there may be something wrong with one or more of the tyres, tyre pressure sensors or the monitoring system.
If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on frequently, have your vehi~ cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
