If the rear view from the rearview cam-
era is not shown or there is a poor
image
• If the rear view from the rearview camerais not shown.
– Check that the ignition switch is in
“ON” position or the ignition mode is
ON.
– Check that the gearshift lever is
shifted to “R” position.
• If the image from the rearview camera is poor.
– Check that the camera lens is not dirty.
– Check that light from the sun or thebeam of the headlights from the vehi-
cle behind is not shining directly into
the lens.
If the rearview camera system is still not
working properly after checking the above,
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Braking
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be
approximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19
mph). Start to depress the brake pedal
when there is plenty of distance between
your vehicle and the stopping point, and
slow down gradually.
Power-assisted brakesYour vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If
power assistance is lo st due to a stalled
engine or other failure s, the system is still
fully operational on reserve power and you
can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
pressing the brake pedal once and holding
it down. The reserve power is partly used
up when you depress the brake pedal and
reduces each time the pedal is pressed.
Apply smooth and even pressure to the
pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
WA R N I N G
If water gets into the brake devices,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the under-
side of the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see if
they have maintained their normal
effectiveness. If the brakes are less
effective than normal, dry them by
repeatedly applying the brakes while
driving slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effectiveness.

Brake assist systemWhen you slam the brakes on, the brake
assist system determines it to be an emer-
gency stop and provides more powerful
braking for a driver who cannot hold down
the brake pedal firmly.
NOTE:
If you quickly and forcefully depress the
brakes, you may hear clicking sound by
the brake assist system operation. This is
normal and indicates that the brake assist
system is activated properly.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec-
tronically controlling braking pressure. It
will also help you maintain steering control
when braking on slippery surfaces or when
braking hard.
The ABS works automatically, so you do
not need any special braking technique.
Just push the brake pedal down without
pumping. The ABS will operate whenever
it senses that the wheels are locking up.
You may feel the brake pedal move a little
while the ABS is operating.
NOTE:
• The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 9 km/h (6 mph).
• If the ABS system is activated, you may
hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsat-
ing in the brake pedal. This is normal
and indicates that the brake fluid pres-
sure is being controlled properly.
• You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the
above systems are in the self-check
mode. This sound does not indicate a
malfunction.
WA R N I N G
Even without reserve power in the
brake system, you can still stop the
vehicle by pressing the brake pedal
harder than normally required. How-
ever, the stopping distance may be
longer.
WA R N I N G
• On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered
roads, etc.), the stopping distance
required for a vehicle with ABS
may be slightly greater than the
one required for a comparable vehi-
cle with a conventional brake sys-
tem. With a conventional brake
system, skidding tires are able to
plow the gravel or snow layer,
shortening the stopping distance.
ABS minimizes this resistance
effect. Allow for extra stopping dis-
tance when driving on loose sur-
faces.
• On regular paved roads, some driv-
ers may be able to obtain slightly
shorter stopping distances with
conventional brake systems than
with ABS.
• In both of the above conditions, ABS will still offer the advantage of
helping you maintain directional
control. However, remember that
ABS will not compensate for bad
road or weather conditions or poor
driver judgment. Use good judg-
ment and do not drive too fast.

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.

To activate the hill descent control system:
1) Shift the gearshift lever into a forward
gear or reverse gear.2) Push the hill descent control switch (1) when the vehicle speed is under 25 km/h
(15 mph). The hill descent control indica-
tor on the instrument cluster will come on
and the hill descent control system will be
activated.
When the vehicle speed exceeds about 7
km/h (4 mph) without depressing the
accelerator pedal, the hill descent control
system applies the brak es automatically to
maintain the vehicle speed at about 7 km/h
(4 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 con-
trol 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.
NOTE:
You may hear a sound coming from the
engine when the hill descent control sys-
tem is activated. This sound is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.
To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the hill descent control switch and
turn off the hill descent control indicator
light.

WA R N I N G
• When the hill descent control sys- tem is used continuously for a long
time, the temperature of the brake
system may increase and the hill
descent control system may be
deactivated tempor arily to protect
the device of the brake system. The
hill descent control indicator blinks
to let you know the system is deac-
tivated. Depress the brake pedal
and stop the vehicle in a safe place.
When the temperature of the brake
system goes down, the hill descent
control indicator will come on and
the system is activated again. (Continued)

Grip control system (if equipped)When one side of the tires is slipping on
slippery road surfaces such as a snow-cov-
ered road and it is difficult to start the vehi-
cle, the grip control system controls the
driving force and brake force through the
ESP
® system, and assists you in smooth
starting.
In such cases as when both of the tires are
slipping, the system may also assist start-
ing.
NOTE:
• When both of the tires are slipping, thegrip control system may work, however,
it works especially effective when one
side of the tires is slipping.
• You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the grip
control system is in the self-check mode.
This sound does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the grip control system is working with high engine revolutions, you may
feel changing the engine speed or vehi-
cle pulsating. This is normal. Grip control switch

• When the vehicle is stabilized and the vehicle speed exceeds about 30 km/h
(19 mph), the grip control system stops
functioning and the indicator on the
switch goes off.
• When the ESP
® system is off, the grip
control system cannot be turned on.
WA R N I N G
Grip control system has limits and
may not function properly depending
on the driving conditions. Do not rely
excessively on the system and
always drive in a safe manner.
CAUTION
• Observe the following instruc- tions. If mishandled, the grip con-
trol system cannot work properly

– Inflate the tires to the recom-mended tire inflation pressure.
– When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type speci-
fied in this owner’s manual.
– Do not use worn or extremely uneven tires. (Continued)
CAUTION
(Continued)– Do not modify the vehicle’s sus-
pension or brake (Altering the
vehicle heig ht, etc.).
– Do not drive with extremely dete-
riorated suspension or brake.
– Do not modify the engine (Alter- ing the muffler, etc.).
– Do not equip a limited slip differ- ential.

How grip control system works
When the grip control switch is on and one
side of the tires is slipping, the grip control
system assists you in smooth starting by
controlling the driving force and brake
force of all wheels.
• When the ESP
® system is off, the grip
control system cannot be activated.
NOTE:
While the grip control system is working,
the ESP
® warning light blinks.
Hill hold control sys tem (if equipped)The hill hold control system is designed to
assist you in starting to move up hills.
When you start to move up a hill, the sys-
tem helps to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing downward (for approximately 2
seconds) while you move your foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The hill hold control system activates for a
maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is
moved from the brake pedal when the fol-
lowing conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear.
2) The parking brake is released.
3) For manual transaxle models, the clutch pedal is depressed.
4) The vehicle is o n an upward incline.
CAUTION
To activate the grip control system,
push the grip control switch and
check that the indicator on the switch
turns on.
WA R N I N G
• Do not rely excessively on the hill
hold control system. The hill hold
control system may not prevent the
vehicle from rolling downward on a
hill under all load or road condi-
tions. Always be prepared to
depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling downward.
Failure to pay attention and
depress the brake pedal to hold the
vehicle on a hill when necessary,
may result in loss of control or an
accident.
• The hill hold control system is not designed to stop the vehicle on a
hill. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• After you release your foot from the
brake pedal, accelerate the vehicle
to move up immediately. If you
release your foot from the brake
pedal over 2 seconds, the hill hold
control system will be canceled. If
so, the vehicle may roll downward,
which can result in an accident
depending on the degree of slope.
And, the engine may stall and the
power assist for the steering and
brakes will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual which can result in an
accident or vehicle damage.

On models equipped with the ENG A-
STOP system, the hill hold control system
is activated when the engine is restarted
after being stopped automatically, even if
the previous conditions are not met.
NOTE:
When the hill hold control system is acti-
vated, you may hear a sound coming from
the engine, or you may feel hardness of
the brake pedal. These are normal and do
not indicate a malfunction.
75RM224
For the instrument cluster with tachometer,
if the message shown in the above illustra-
tion appears on the information display,
there may be a problem with the hill
descent control system (if equipped) and
the hill hold control system. Have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
The hill hold control system will not acti-
vate while this message is displayed.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) (if equipped)The tire pressure monitoring system is
designed to alert you when one or more of
the tires on your vehicle is significantly
under-inflated. The tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS) sensor containing a
unique identification code is mounted on
each wheel. The TPMS sensors transmit
tire pressure signals to the receiver of the
tire pressure monitoring system controller.
When the inflation pressure of one or more
tires indicates signif icant under-inflation,
the low tire pressure warning light shown
below comes on.
NOTE:
The word “telltale” in this section, means
an indicator.
Low tire pressure warning light
52D305
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inf lation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may

3-86
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.
WA R N I N G
Relying only on the tire pressure
monitoring system to determine
when it is necessary to add air to the
tires can result in loss of control or
an accident.
Check tire inflation pressures
monthly when the tires are cold. If
necessary, adjust them to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as speci-
fied on the vehicle’s tire information
placard and in this owner’s manual.
Refer to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE” section.
WA R N I N G
Failure to take corrective action when
the low tire pressure warning light is
not working or when it comes on and
blinks while driving can lead to an
accident.
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not come on for 2 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode
to ON, or comes on and blinks while
driving, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.
Even if the light tu rns off after blink-
ing, indicating that the monitoring
system has recovered, you should
still have the system checked by your
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
The load-carrying capacity of your
tires is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tires are even mod-
erately under-inflated, the load on the
tires may exceed the load-carrying
capacity of the tires, which could lead
to tire failure. The low tire pressure
warning light will not alert you to this
condition, because it only comes on
when one or more of your tires
becomes significantly under-inflated.
Check and adjust your tire inflation
pressure at least once a month. Refer
to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.
