#1: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) blinks, it goes off. Also, the interior buzzer may sound at the same time.
#2: Depending on the sit uations of malfunction, it is a normal restart or the restart as #1.
#3: The engine may be restarted automatically when the brake ped al is depressed lightly. In this case, when the brake pedal is
depressed again, the engine is sto pped automatically and the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on again.
#4: The steering force, not the steering amount, is a condition to restart the engine automatically when the steering wheel is operated.
Therefore, the amoun t that the steering whee l is operated when the engine is automatically res tarted may change depending on t he
road conditions or t he number of passengers.

SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki)The SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by
Suzuki) of this vehicle is a system that
uses generators with motor function (ISG)
to operate the following functions accord-
ing to the driving situations, to increase
quietness of the engine and fuel efficiency.
ISG stands for Integrated Starter Genera-
tor.
•Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion
:
This function generates intensively
during deceleration by using the ISG.
When generation while driving is not
required, the ISG can be stopped to
reduce the load on the engine, leading to
improved fuel economy.
• Motor assistance function: This function assists the engine by using
the ISG as a motor to reduce the power
output of the engine, leading to improved
fuel economy.
• Starter motor function: This function restarts the engine after
being stopped by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem by using the ISG through the drive
belt.
NOTE:
When you restart the engine by pushing
the engine switch, the ordinary starter
motor is used and you will hear a gear
engagement noise. Energy flow indicator
With the energy flow indicator in the instru-
ment cluster, you can check whether or not
the ISG is functioning.
• Normal driving conditions:
The ISG is not functioning.
81P40260
• The deceleration energy regeneratingfunction is functioning while the vehicle is
decelerated in normal driving conditions:
The batteries are being charged.
81P40270
• Engine has been aut omatically stopped
when the vehicle is stopped:
Stored power is being used by electrical
components, such a s the audio system,
without the batteries being charged.
81P40280
• The starter motor function is functioning when the engine has been automatically
stopped:
Stored power is being used by the ISG,

Eco-Cool (if equipped)When driving while using the air condi-
tioner, cold air is stored in the cooling stor-
age medium of the air conditioner unit.
Since stored cold air will be blown into the
vehicle when the engine has been stopped
automatically by the ENG A-STOP system,
the rise of the inside temperature can be
reduced when the air conditioner is not
running.
For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, reducing the rise of the
inside temperature increases the length of
time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally, leading to improved fuel economy.
NOTE:
Sufficient cold air may not be stored if the
vehicle has not been running for very long
or in a traffic jam. The effect varies
depending on the outside temperature and
the air conditioner settings.
I/S AC Settings (if equipped)• When using the automatic heating andair conditioning system (if equipped),
you can select one of the following set-
tings via the setting mode of the informa-
tion display.
– Standard
– Economy
–Comfort
For details on how to use the information
display, refer to “Information display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• When “Economy” is selected, engine auto stop condition is eased, compared
with “Standard”. Engine auto stop condi-
tion will occur more f requently, the stop
time will be longer, leading to reduction
of fuel consumption.
• When “Comfort” is sel ected, engine auto
stop condition becomes severe, com-
pared with “Standard”. Engine auto stop
condition will occur less frequently, the
stop time will be shorter, leading to more
comfortable cabin condition by air condi-
tioner.
Cruise control (if equipped)The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a steady speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal. The
controls for operating the cruise control
system are on the steering wheel.
You can use the cruise control system
under the following conditions:
• For manual transaxle vehicle, the gear position is in 3rd, 4th or 5th.
• For CVT vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear position is in 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th or 7th in the manual mode
(if equipped).
• For Auto Gear Shift vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear posi-
tion is in 3rd, 4th or 5th in the manual
mode.
• The vehicle speed is about 45 km/h (28
mph) or higher.
WA R N I N G
To help avoid loss of vehicle control,
do not use the cruise control system
when driving in heavy traffic, on slip-
pery or winding roads, or on steep
downhills.

Hill descent control system (if equipped)The hill descent cont rol 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.
(1)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely excessively on the hill
descent control system. The hill
descent control system may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared 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.
