Automatically stopping/restarting of the engineManual transaxle vehicles
1) With the brake pedal depressed, decel-erate the vehicle.
75RM280
2) When decelerating at approximately 15km/h (9 mph) or below with the clutch
pedal depressed and the gearshift lever
shifted to “N”, and then release the
clutch pedal, the engine will stop auto-
matically.
The ENG A-STOP indicator light
(green) in the instrument cluster will
come on.
• The ENG A-STOP system will notstop the engine automatically if all the
automatic engine stop conditions are
not met.
For details, refer to the section, “Oper- ating conditions of ENG A-STOP sys-
tem”.
• During the automatic engine stop, the
engine may shut down, accompanied
by an interior buzzer or restarted, to
ensure safety.
For details, refer to the section, “Pre-
cautions of when the engine is
stopped automatically”.
NOTE:
• Engine auto stop function during decel- eration will be ready once the vehicle
runs at a speed exceeding 10 km/h
(6 mph) after restart of the engine.
• Even if the engine di d not stop automati-
cally before the vehicle came to a stop
(still traveling at approximately 15 km/h
(9 mph) or below), the engine may stop
automatically once the vehicle stops.
• If the engine stalled by a rapid clutch operation, the engine may restart when
the gearshift lever is in “N” (Neutral)
position, the clutch lever is depressed,
and other standby conditions are met.
NOTICE
Since models equipped with this sys-
tem use a lead-acid battery specifi-
cally for the high-efficiency ENG A-
STOP system, observe the following
precautions. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in a malfunc-
tion of the system or a shortened bat-
tery life.
• When replacing the battery, onlyuse the specified type. (Do not use
any other type of battery.)
• Do not power electrical accesso- ries from the battery terminals.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
During the automatic engine stop, do
not shift the gearshift lever to a posi-
tion other than “N” without depress-
ing the clutch pedal. If the gear shift
lever is in a position other than “N”,
the engine will not restart automati-
cally even if the clutch pedal is
depressed.

2) Depress the brake pedal to deceleratewhile the gearshift lever is in the “D”
position will automatically stop the
engine before the vehicle is stopped
(approximately 13 km/h or less). At the
same time, the ENG A-STOP indicator
light (green) will remain on.
• The engine is not stopped automati-cally if all of the c onditions to stop the
engine automatically are not met,
even if the brake pedal is pressed
down to decelerate while the ENG A-
STOP indicator light (green) is on.
For details on the conditions for auto-
matically stopping the engine, refer to
“Conditions to stop the engine auto-
matically” in this section.
• To ensure safety when the engine is stopped automatically, the interior
buzzer may sound and the engine
will stall, or the engine may be
restarted.
75RM234
NOTE:
• The engine is not stopped automatically when decelerating without depressing
the brake pedal, for example, by using
engine braking.
• The engine may be stopped automati-
cally when the vehicle is stopped, even if
the engine is not stopped automatically
before stopping the vehicle (approxi-
mately 13 km/h or less).
• Electrical components, such as the navi- gation system or audio system, can be
used while the engine has been stopped
automatically, however, the air condi-
tioner switches to the ventilation posi-
tion.
• For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, airflow is limited (only
under automatic operation) when the
engine is stopped aut omatically, in order
to improve the cooling and heating per-
formance.
3) When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, regardless of whether it is
before or after stopping the vehicle, the
engine is restarted and the ENG A-STOP
indicator light (green) goes off.
• The engine is restarted automatically
if the conditions to restart the engine
automatically are met, even if the
brake pedal is depressed.
For details on the conditions for auto-
matically restarting the engine, refer
to “Conditions to restart the engine
automatically” in this section.
75RM235
NOTE:
The hill hold control system is activated
when the engine is restarted automatically.
4) After driving for a while after the engine is restarted automatically, the ENG A-
STOP indicator light (green) comes on
if the conditions allowing the engine to
be stopped automatically (standby con-
ditions) are met.

If all of the following conditions are met,
the motor assistance function is function-
ing.
• To accelerate, the accelerator pedal is a
bit more depressed.
• For manual transaxle, the gearshift lever is in a position other than “N” (Neutral).
• For CVT, the gearshift lever is in the “D” position.
• The brake pedal and/or clutch pedal (if
equipped) is(are) not depressed.
• For CVT, when driving with the vehicle speed from right after starting to about
100 km/h and the engine revolution is
lower than about 3900 rpm.
• The time has elapsed one second or
more from the previous operation of the
motor assistance function.
• The ABS or ESP
® system has not been
activated. • The lithium-ion battery is charged more
than a certain amount, and the tempera-
ture inside the battery is within the speci-
fied range.
• The engine coolant temperature is within the specified range.
NOTE:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
all the way down for quickly accelerating,
the motor assistance function will not oper-
ate.
Battery indicator
The segments in the battery indicator (1)
give an approximate indication of the
charge of the lithium-ion battery.

NOTE:
The energy flow indicator gives an approx-
imate indication. The indication may be
delayed or inaccurate under certain condi-
tions, for example, when the outside tem-
perature is low. Deceleration energy regenerating indi-

NOTE:
• If the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neu-
tral) position, this light does not come
on.
• You can choose that this light comes on or does not come on via the setting

• The lane departure warning may not be suitable for every situation.
Also, the system is not designed to
avoid the lane deviations automati-
cally. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• Depending on road surface condi-

Temporary stop of the stereo camera
Under the following situations, the function
of the stereo camera stops temporarily.
When the situations are improved, the
temporary stop of the function will be can-
celed.
• When the visibility of the stereo camerais poor
• When the temperature of the body of
stereo camera i s low or high
• When the systems related the dual cam- era brake support stops temporarily
• When the lead-acid battery has a volt- age abnormality
• When the automatic adjustment of the
stereo camera is insufficient
Failure of the stereo camera
When the stereo camera is failure, the
function of the stereo camera stops until
the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Find a safe place to park and turn the igni-
tion switch to “LOCK” position or change
the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF) by press-
ing the engine switch.
Restart the engine, and check that the dual
camera brake support indicator light and
lane departure warning indicator light go
off.
• If both of the indicators stay on after restarting the engine, there may be a
failure of the stereo camera. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to have the stereo cam-
era inspected. It is thought that the cause of failure is the
followings.
• When the stereo camera has an abnor-
mality
• When the temperature of the body of stereo camera is t oo low or too high
• When the mounting position of the ste- reo camera is shifted greatly
• When there are communication abnor-
malities among the engine, transaxle
and brake controller
• When the dual camera brake support
OFF switch has an abnormality
• When the steering angle sensor has an abnormality
• When the power supply of the stereo camera is cut
NOTE:
• Under the following situations, the dual camera brake support indicator light and
lane departure warning indicator light
come on after the engine has started, it
does not indicate a malfunction. Once
the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF) and then the engine is restarted,
these indicators will go off.
– When the automatic brake system hasbeen operating 3 times
– When the automatic brake system has
been operating for long periods • The function of the stereo camera stops
if the dual camera brake support indica-
tor light and lane departure warning indi-
cator light come on and there may be a
failure of the stereo camera, but it does
not hinder normal driving.
