ADVICE FOR YOUR DRIVING

Do not shift the gearshift lever into
“N” (Neutral) while Driving

What should you do in case of mal-
function or emergency?
• Warning light turns on
Stop immediately in a safe place and
take corrective action.
For details, refer to “Warning lights and
indicators” (P.1-9) or “Warning and indi-
cator messages” (P.4-16).
• You feel strong shock from under the
floor
Immediately stop in a safe place and
check whether there is brake fluid leak-
age or fuel leakage, and also check
whether there is any abnormality in the
exhaust pipe, etc. If any abnormality is
found, consult an authorized SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop.
• Sudden tyre puncture
Grasp the steering wheel firmly, carefully
apply the brake, slowly reduce speed,
and stop in a safe place.
• You feel that the brake pedal is heavy
to use
Via engine vacuum pressure, the vehi-
cle utilizes a brake booster to reduce
the force necessary for depressing the
brake pedal. If this engine vacuum
pressure decreases, you may feel as if
the brakes require more force than
usual to depress, but this is not abnor-
mal. Depress the brake pedal as
strongly as you need to.
• Metallic screeching sound is heard
from the brakes
Promptly consult an authorized SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop. The disk
brake pads (SUZUKI genuine parts) are
designed to emit a creaking/screeching
sound as a function to warn the wear, as
they have almost reached usage limit
and replacement timing.
CAUTION
Do not put the gearshift lever into the
“N” (Neutral) position while driving,
except in times of emergency, as this
disengages engine braking, which
could result in an accident.
WARNING
The brakes could be losing their
ability to function normally, which
could result in an accident.
If you hear a metallic creaking/
screeching sound, do not continue
driving.
