OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Clutch pedal (1)
A clutch pedal is used to disengage the driving force to the wheels when starting the engine, stopping, or shifting the gear­shift lever. Depressing the pedal disen­gages the clutch.
A WARNING
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. It could result in excessive clutch wear, clutch dam­age, or unexpected loss of engine braking.
Brake pedal (2)
Your vehicle is equipped with either front and rear disc brakes or front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Depressing a brake pedal applies both sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal when you apply the brakes. This is a nor­mal condition caused by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity or dust, etc.
A WARNING
If brake squeal is excessive and occurs each time the brakes are applied, you should have the brakes checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

A WARNING
Do not apply brakes continuously or rest your foot on the brake pedal. This will result in overheating of the brakes which could cause unpredict­able braking action, longer stopping distances, or permanent brake dam­
age.
Accelerator pedal (3)
An accelerator pedal controls the speed of the engine. Depressing the accelerator pedal increases power output and speed.

Automatic transmission -If the gear­shift lever is not in "P" (Park) position, shift into "P" (Park). (If you need to restart the engine while the vehicle is moving, shift into "N".)

NOTE: Automatic transmission vehicles have a starter interlock device which is designed to keep the starter from operating if the transmission is in any of the drive posi­tions.
A WARNING
Check that the parking brake is set fully and the transmission is in Neu­tral (or Park for vehicles with an auto­matic transmission) before attempting to start the engine.
Starting a cold and warm engine
With your foot taken off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine by turning the igni­tion key to "START". Release the key when the engine starts.
NOTICE
• Stop turning the starter immedi­ately after the engine has started or the starter system can be dam­aged. For protection of a lead-acid bat­tery and a starter motor, do not use the starter motor by turning the key to "START" for more than 12 sec­onds at a time. If the engine dose not start, turn the key to 11LOCK" position and wait for more than 30 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, consult a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the engine does not start after 12 sec­onds of cranking, wait about 30 seconds, and then press down the accelerator pedal to 1/3 of its stroke and try cranking the engine again. Release the key and accel­erator pedal when the engine starts.
If the engine still does not start, depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor while cranking.

NOTICE
Do not downshift to a lower gear at the speed faster than the maximum allowable speeds for the next lower speed) or severe damage to engine and transmission can result.
A WARNING
• Reduce your speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a long or steep hill. A lower gear will allow the engine to provide braking. Avoid riding the brakes or they may overheat, resulting in brake failure. When driving on slippery roads, slow down before downshifting. Excessive and/or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control.
NOTICE
Check that the vehicle is completely stationary before you shift into reverse.
NOTICE
To help avoid clutch damage, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot­rest while driving or use the clutch to keep the vehicle stationary on a slope. Depress the clutch fully when shifting. • When shifting or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the engine can shorten engine life and cause negative effect to smooth shifting.

NOTICE
Pay attention to shifting the transfer lever safely when driving your vehi­cle.
NOTE: After shifting the transfer lever from "2H'" to "4H", check that the 4WD indicator
light comes on. After shifting the transfer lever from "4H" to "2H", check that the 4WD indicator goes off. ·
When 4WD indicator fight is blinking after shifting the transfer fever to "4H" position, accelerate, slow down your vehicle or stop and reverse your vehicle a little to shift the transfer lever. Pay attention to the vehicles and the circum­ference toward or backward your vehicle when shifting the transfer fever. When you shift the transfer fever while turning the steering wheel or depressing the accelerator pedal, shifting the trans­fer fever may be difficult. Operate the transfer fever while driving at low speed if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position when the vehicle is stopped.
Shift the transfer fever again after decel­erating or stopping the vehicle if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position while driv­ing or when the gear noise occurs. There may be a case to operate the transfer fever heavily when shifting the transfer lever from "4H" position to "2H" P_Osition while driving. In this case, posi­tion the front wheels straight ahead and drive for a while and then operate shift­ing the transfer fever again. When the transfer lever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position and the air lock­ing hubs are activated, the air condition­ing system may not be operated for several seconds. This is not a malfunc­tion. When the ignition switch is turned "ON" after the transfer fever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position while stopping the engine, 4WD indicator light may blink. This is not a malfunction.

SUZUKI SAFETY SUPPORT
(if equipped)
Dual sensor brake support
Dual sensor brake support is a system that detects a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of your vehicle by the dual sensor, attempts to avoid a collision by giving warning to the driver, and attempts to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
A WARNING
• Dual sensor brake support 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. 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.
NOTE: While the system is working, if a vehicle in front of you moves outside the dual sensor'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 nor­mal. • As the function of the dual sensor brake support is different depending on some destinations or areas, there are type of vehicles with the function not to detect the pedestrians.

NOTE: When the function of the dual sensor is temporarily stopped or malfunctioning, all of following functions will be turned off. Dual sensor brake support Lane departure warning Vehicle swaying warning High beam assist Traffic sign recognition
Temporary stop of the dual sensor Under the following situations, the function of the dual sensor stops temporarily. When the situations are improved, the temporary stop of the function will be can­celed. When the visibility of the dual sensor is poor Refer to "Situations where the dual sen­sor may not activate properly" in this section for details. When the temperature of the body of dual sensor is high When the systems related to the dual sensor brake support are stopped tem­porarily When the battery has a voltage abnor­mality
Failure of the dual sensor When the dual sensor is faulty, the function of the dual sensor is stopped until the igni­tion switch is turned to "LOCK". Find a safe place to park and turn the igni­tion switch to "LOCK". Restart the engine, and check that the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light go off. If all of the indicators stay on after restarting the engine, there may be a failure of the dual sensor. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to have the dual sensor inspected.
NOTE: Under the following situations, the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light come on after the engine has been started, it does not indicate a malfunction. Once the ignition switch to is turned to "LOCK" position and then the engine is restarted, these indicators will go off. -When the automatic brake system has been operating 3 times -When the automatic brake system has been operating for long periods
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
The function of the dual sensor is stopped if the dual sensor brake support indicator light, lane departure warning indicator light, and high beam assist warning light come on and there may be a failure of the dual sensor, but it r}oes not hinder normal driving.
Pedestrian detection The dual sensor detects pedestrians by whose size, shape or motion.
