You should turn the ESP® on during your ordinary driving, so that you have the ben­efits of all of the ESP® systems.
It may be required to turn the ESP® sys­tems (other than ABS) off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, or snow, where wheel spin is necessary.
NOTE: When the vehicle speed is greater than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph), the ESFi® systems (other than ABS) will turn on automatically and the ESFI® OFF indicator light will go out. When the transfer gear is in "4L" (4-whee/ drive low range) position, the ESFI® systems (other than ABS) will be cance/ed to provide improved vehicle traction, and the ESFI® OFF indicator light will come on. When the transfer gear is in "4L" ( 4-whee/ drive low range) position, braket­raction control can be activated. Braket­raction control brakes the spinning wheel to distribute drive power to the other wheels for increased climbing abil­ity or for better performance on a rolling hill or a slippery surface.

Hill descent control system
The hill descent control system is designed to reduce the driver's workload when going down steep, rough and/or slippery hills where the vehicle cannot decelerate enough by engine braking alone. The hill descent control system helps to control vehicle speed by automatically engaging the vehicle's brakes, as needed, so you can concentrate on steering the vehicle.
.A. WARNING
Do not rely excessively on the hill descent control system. The hill descent control system may not con­trol the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepa!ed to control vehicle speed by applying the brakes. Failure to pay attention and control vehicle speed using the brakes when necessary may result in loss of control or an accident.

To activate the hill descent control system: 1) Shift the transfer lever into 4-wheel drive hiQh range position ("4H") or 4-wh!"el drive low '.ange position ("4L"). 2) Shift the gearsh1ft lever into a forward gear or reverse gear. 3) Push the hill descent control switch (1) when the vehicle speed is under 25 km/h (15 mph). The hill descent control indica­tor on the instrument cluster will come on and the hill descent control system will be activated.
4-wheel drive high range position When the vehicle speed exceeds about 1 o km/h (6 mph) without depressing the accelerator pedal, the hill descent control system applies the brakes automatically to maintain the vehicle speed at about 1 O km/ h (6 mph).
4-wheel drive low range position When the vehicle speed exceeds about 5 km/h (3 mph) without depressing the accelerator pedal, the hill descent control system applies the brakes automatically to maintain the vehicle speed at about 5 km/h (3 mph).
• When braking, the brake/tail lights come on and the ESP® warning light blinks. When the vehicle speed exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph), the hill descent con­trol system stops functioning and the hill descent control indicator goes off. When the vehicle slows down below about 25 km/h (16 mph), the hill descent control system will be activated again and the hill descent control indicator will come on.

Jump-starting instructions
A. WARNING
Never attempt to jump-start your vehicle if the lead-acid battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode. When making jump lead connec­tions, check that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts or fans. Lead-acid batteries produce flam­mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working near the bat­tery. If the booster battery you use for jump-starting is installed in another vehicle, check that the two vehicles are not touching each other. If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam­age to your vehicle or battery, fol­low the jump-starting instructions below. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by pushing or towing. This starting method could result in permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Use jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak or flat battery.
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to jump-start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to your vehicle so that the jump leads will reach both batteries. When using a bat­tery installed on another vehicle, check that two vehicles do not touch each other. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).
