Situations where radar may activate properly
Under the following situations, the radar
system detects a vehicle on the neighbor-
ing lane or roadside objects and frontal col-
lision warning may function.
• At a corner or narrow traffic lane
• The vehicle position in your lane
is unstable due to steering operation etc.
• Objects protruding from the road’s
surface such as manhole covers and
other metal objects, as well as falling
objects or level changes in the road

NOTE:
• You can adjust the set speed by 1 km/h
(or 1 mph) by pushing “RES +” switch (4)
or “SET –” switch (5) quickly.
• You can adjust the set speed by 5 km/h
(or 5 mph) by pushing and holding “RES
+” switch (4) or “SET –” switch (5).
• While deceleration control or following
control is activated, the vehicle is not
accelerated even though resetting to
higher cruising speed by continuous
pushing “RES +” switch (4) is operated.
However, if the vehicle ahead disap-
pears, the vehicle is accelerated auto-
matically to the set speed.Cancelling adaptive cruise control
“SET” indicator (8) will disappear and the
adaptive cruise control system will be can-
celed temporarily under the following con-
ditions:
• When “CANCEL” switch (3) is pushed
• When brake pedal is depressed
• When clutch pedal is continuously
depressed
• When vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph)
• When a vehicle skids and ESP
® is acti-
vated
• When radar sensor cover is covered in
snow, water or dirt
• When engine speed is too high or too
low
• When gear position is changed to “N”
(Neutral)
• When gear position is changed to 1st or
2nd
• When driver’s door is open
• When driver’s seat belt is unfastened
• When parking brake is applied
• When “LIMIT” switch is pressed
• When ESP
® OFF switch is pressedTo resume the previously set speed, push
“RES +” switch (4) and show “SET” indica-
tor (8). The vehicle speed must be above
about 40 km/h (25 mph) when the vehicle
is not under the above conditions.
To turn off the adaptive cruise control sys-
tem, push “CRUISE” switch (2) and check
that the cruise indicator (7) disappears.
Also, if any warning indication or message
related to the adaptive cruise control sys-
tem is displayed on the instrument cluster,
the adaptive cruise control system will be
turned off.
NOTE:
If you turn off the adaptive cruise control
system, the previously set speed in the
memory is cleared. Reset your cruising
speed again.

Frontal collision warning
54P000353
If your vehicle gets too close to the vehicle
ahead as described below, the interior
buzzer sounds, the indicator (1) appears
on the information display at the same
time, to promote deceleration.
• The vehicle ahead of you slows down
abruptly.
• Another vehicle cuts in front of you.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an
appropriate distance from the vehicle
ahead. The buzzer timing of frontal colli-
sion warning varies depending on the vehi-
cle speed and a following distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead.
There are different frontal collision warning
operations in adaptive cruise control sys-
tem and radar brake support system.
Therefore, the interior buzzer in adaptive
cruise control system sounds a little earlier
than the buzzer in radar brake support sys-
tem. For details of frontal collision warning
in radar brake support system, refer to“Radar brake support system (if equipped)”
in this section.
Handling the radar sensor
For details on radar sensor, refer to “Radar
brake support system” in this section.

WA R N I N G
• Do not use the adaptive cruise con-
trol system in a heavy traffic area
where the frontal collision warning
frequently activates.
• Even if the distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
short, frontal collision warning may
not alert you under the following
circumstances:
– The vehicle ahead of you is going
at almost the same speed as, or
faster than your vehicle.
– When the vehicle ahead of you is
going away from your vehicle.
– Right after setting up to the
desired speed.
– While depressing the accelerator
pedal or right after releasing the
pedal.
– While decelerating by depressing
the brake pedal.

Warning and indicator messages
The information display shows the warning and indicator messages to let you know about certain problems of the adaptive cruise control
system.

Blinks Beep (one time from interior buzzer) There may be malfunction of the adap-
tive cruise control system. Contact your
SUZUKI dealer for inspection.
54P000355
Blinks Beep (one time from interior buzzer) The radar brake support system is dis-
abled temporarily because dirt is
detected on the sensor cover, or milli-
meter-waves from the radar sensor
cause diffused reflection. If the message
does not disappear for a while, wipe the
sensor cover with a soft cloth.

Cancelling speed limiter
• To cancel the speed limiter, push “CAN-
CEL” switch (2). The set indicator (6) will
go off.
• To resume the previously set speed,
push “RES +” switch (3) and turn on the
set indicator (6).

If you turn off the speed limiter system, the
previously set speed in the memory is
cleared. Set your speed again.
Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten
their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.

WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• On the following surfaces, you may
not be able to decelerate even with
the warning brake system, the
brake assist system and automatic
brake system functioning.
– On sharp curves or extremely
rough surfaces
– On the following slippery sur-
faces
• Frozen or snow-covered sur-
faces
• Over manholes or metal con-
struction plates
• Gravel
• In the following situations, the tilt
and/or height of the vehicle is
changed, the system does not
function properly and unexpected
accidents may occur.
– With a modified suspension
(Altering the vehicle height, etc.)
– With non-specified sized tires
equipped
– With worn or extremely uneven
tires equipped
– With low or high tire pressure

NOTE:
• While the system is working, if a vehicle
in front of you moves outside of the
radar’s detection field or the vehicle can
no longer be detected, the system may
stop functioning.
• While the system is working, a braking
sound may be heard even if you do not
depress the brake pedal, but this is nor-
mal.
The radar brake support system, model
MRR1Plus is in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.Frontal collision warning
When there is a risk of a frontal crash, a warning will be given through the information dis-
play and sound.

Warning brake system
If the driver cannot take or is insufficient to take evasive action such as brake operation
and steering operation after frontal collision warning activates, the system applies brake
lightly.
54P000360
NOTE:
When you operate brake after frontal collision warning activates, the warning brake sys-
tem does not activate. Brake assist system will activate in this case.
CAUTION
In the following conditions, this warning brake system may not activate.
• When another vehicle is already parked on a road in the direction of move-
ment.
• When a vehicle ahead is changing lane and only a part of the vehicle is within
the radar sensor range.
