Warning and Indicator Lights
Brake System Warning Light
65D477
Three different types of operations existdepending on the vehicle’s specification.
1) The light comes on briefly when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.2) The light comes on when the parkingbrake is engaged with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.3) The light comes on when under eitheror both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir falls below the specified level.The light should go out after starting the engine and fully releasing the parking brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid res-ervoir is adequate. The light also comes on together with the ABS warning light when the rear brakeforce control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system fails. If the brake system warning light comes onwhile you are driving the vehicle, it may mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting andstopping at the side of the road.– If you determine that it is safe, drivecarefully at low speed to the nearest dealer for repairs, or– Have the vehicle towed to the nearestdealer for repairs.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Remember that stopping distancemay be longer, you may have to push harder on the pedal, and the pedal may go down farther than normal.
WA R N I N G
If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer toinspect the brake system. • If the brake system warning lightdoes not go out after the engine has been started and the parking brake has been fully released.• If the brake system warning lightdoes not come on when the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON” position.• If the brake system warning lightcomes on at any time during vehi-cle operation.

Clutch Pedal (1)
(For manual transaxle)The clutch pedal is used to disengage the drive to the wheels when starting theengine, stopping, or shifting the gearshift lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the clutch.
Brake Pedal (2)Your MARUTI SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Depressing the brake pedalapplies both sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal when you apply the brakes. This is a nor- mal condition caused by environmental factors such as co ld, wet, snow, etc.
WA R N I N G
When parking the vehicle in extremely cold weather, the followingprocedure should be used: 1) Set the parking brake. 2) Manual transaxl e - turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or first gear. Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverseor first gear and check the gear position indicato r in the instru- ment cluster to ma ke sure that the transaxle is engaged in 1st or reverse, then turn off the engine. 3) Get out of the vehicle and putchocks under the wheels. 4) Release the parking brake. When you return to your vehicle,you must remember to first set the parking brake, then remove the wheel chocks.

Pull the gearshift lever to the “+” direction and release it. Every time the lever is oper- ated, the transaxle is upshifting 1 step inthe order of 1st  2nd  3rd  4th  5th gear.
76MH0A059
Downshifting
76MH0A060
Push the gearshift lever to the “–” directionand release it. Every time the lever is oper- ated, the transaxle is downshifted in theorder 5th  4th  3rd  2nd  1st gear.
76MH0A061
The gear position is displayed on the gear position indicator. The gear position indica- tor shows the transaxle gear position.Before starting off, always check the gear position indicator to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in 1st or reverse, thendepress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: • To downshift smoothly, the engine runs fast in some cases. This is done inten- tionally by the system and is not a mal-function. • When driving down a hill, downshift and use the engine braking appropriately. Ifnecessary, continuous downshifting is possible. However, if downshifting more than 3 steps, gear shifting will take moretime. • When the gear is shifting, a noise can be heard in some case. This is not a mal-function.

• Be careful when accelerating,upshifting, downshifting or brakingon a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin orskid. • To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift.Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and fail.• While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to “N” posi- tion. The engine brake may notwork and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshif t lever from “N” to “M” because of unintended shift- ing, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehiclespeed. • Do not apply the parking brake while driving. Otherwise, it couldcause a skid and you may get involved in an unexpected acci- dent.

If the gearshift lever is in the “M” posi- tion, the gear will be downshifted to 1st when the vehicle stops.
Parking Unlike an automatic transaxle, Auto GearShift does not have a parking position. The vehicle can be parked with the gearshift lever in any position.1) Apply the parking brake firmly. 2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “R” position ona downhill slope, and to the 1st position in the drive (D) mode or the “M(1)” posi- tion in the manual (M) mode on anuphill slope and confirm the gear posi- tion by checking the gear position indi- cator.3) Stop the engine.
NOTE: • After the engine is stopped, the gear in the transaxle does not change even ifyou shift the gearshift lever in any posi- tion. Always shift the gearshift lever before stop the engine.• Check the transaxle gear position by looking at the gear position indicator, then turn the ignition switch off to stopthe engine. Release the brake pedal after a few seconds. The gearshift lever will be locked in the position it was inwhen the ignition switch was turned off.
Parking cancel Depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and shift thegearshift lever to the “N” position. The gear will be disengaged.
WA R N I N G
• When stopping, for example, at a traffic light, be su re to depress the brake pedal firmly. For your safety, apply the parking brake, too, when stopping on a hill.• When racing the engine, make sure that the gear is in the “N” position by checking the gear position indi- cator. If the accelerator is operated with the gear in any other position, the vehicle may move resulting inan unexpected accident. • Do not leave your vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.• When leaving the vehicle, stop the engine and park the vehicle with a gear engaged. If you need to leavethe vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brakes firmly, and shift the gearshift lever to the“N” position. Otherwise, the vehi- cle may move unexpectedly and may cause an accident.
NOTICE
• On a slope, never hold the vehicleat a stop using only the acceleratorpedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warningbuzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage tothe clutch. • If the gearshift lever is operated more than necessary, the systemmay not allow operation of the gearshift lever for a certain period of time, and the gear may not beshifted appropriately. Therefore, do not operate the gearshift lever if not necessary.
WA R N I N G
• If the gear is not engaged properlyand completely be fore the ignition switch is turned off, the vehicle may not be parked with the gearengaged. Always confirm the gear position by checking the gear posi- tion indicator when parking.• On a downhill slope, the gear should be put in reverse, and in 1st gear on an uphill slope. Otherwise,the vehicle may move, and cause an unexpected accident. If the gear is left in the “N” position, the vehi-cle cannot be parked with a gear engaged.

Warning functions A warning buzzer will sound or the indica- tor will blink under the following conditions.
Warning buzzer The clutch is heated due to excessiveload. The creeping function is being activated for a long period of time.
The ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position with the gear in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th. In this case, turn the igni- tion switch to the “ON” position and shiftthe gearshift lever in the “N” position, shift it to the “D” or “M” or “R” position, then turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”. During a stop, the driver’s door is opened with the gearshift lever in the “R”, “D” or “M” positi on while the engine is running.
“N” indicato r blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “N”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position.
“1st” indicator blinking
When the gear indicator lamp blinks “1st”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, thenshift to “D” or “M” position again a few sec- onds later.
“R” indicator blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “R”, you should depress the brake pedal andshift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “R” position again a few seconds later.
Braking
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicleto a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. The braking distance needed, for example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will beapproximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19 mph). Start to brake the vehicle when thereis 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 lost due to a stalledengine or other failur es, the system is still fully operational on reserve power and you can bring the vehicle to a complete stop bypressing the brake pedal once and holding it down. The reserve power is partly used up when you depress the brake pedal andreduces each time the pedal is pressed. Apply smooth and even pressure to the pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
NOTICE
In the above cases, pull over to theside of the road and stop the engine,and then ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect your vehicle. Other- wise, the clutch disc may be dam-aged.EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If water gets into the brake drums, brake performance may become poorand unpredictable. After driving through water or washingthe underside of the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving at a slow speedto see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry themby repeatedly applying the brakeswhile driving slowly until the brakeshave regained their normal effective-ness.

Brake Assist System (if equipped)When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system judges as an emergencystop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly.
NOTE: If you quickly and forcefully depress thebrakes, you may hear a clicking sound in the brake pedal. This is normal and indi- cates that the brake a ssist system is acti- vated properly.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
(if equipped)ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec- tronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering controlwhen braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you donot need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever itsenses that the wheels are locking up. You
may feel the brake pedal moves a little while the ABS is operating.
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 10 km/h (6 mph).

WA R N I N G
Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop thevehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. How- ever, the stopping distance may belonger.WA R N I N G
• On some types of loose surfaces(such as gravel, snow-coveredroads, etc.) the stopping distance required for an ABS-equipped vehi- cle may be slightly greater than fora comparable vehicle with a con- ventional brake system. With a con- ventional brake system, skiddingtires are able to “plow” the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stop- ping distance, ABS minimizes thisresistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces.• On regular paved roads, some driv- ers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances withconventional 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 thatABS will not compensate for bad road or weather conditions or poor driver judgment. Use good judg-ment and do not drive faster than conditions will safely allow.
WA R N I N G
• If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument panel comes on and stays on while driving, there maybe a problem with the ABS system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immedi-ately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake sys-tem that has no ABS. (Continued)

DRIVING TIPS
76MH1-74E
76MH1-74E
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggageor cargo when it is not necessary.
Keep tire pressures correct Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correctpressure shown on the label on the driver’s side door or the driver’s door lock pillar.
Highway Driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stoppingpoint to allow for the extra stopping dis- tance. On rainy days, “Hydroplaning” can occur.“Hydroplaning” is the loss of direct con- tact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tires due to a water film formingbetween them. Steering or braking the vehicle while “Hydroplaning” can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur.Keep speed down when the road surface is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may beaffected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex- pected buffeting, which can occur at theexits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
76MH0A063
When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a lackof power. If this happens, you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normalpower range. Shift rapidly to prevent the vehicle from losing momentum. When driving down a hill, the engineshould be used for braking by shifting into a lower gear.
Driving on Slippery Roads
60G089S
Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roadsdue to possible slippage of tires during braking. When driving on icy, snow-cov- ered, or muddy roads, reduce your speedand avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements.
Tire Chains (if equipped)Tire chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Make sure that the chains you use
WA R N I N G
Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while goingdown a steep or long hill. This could cause the brakes to overheat, result- ing in reduced braking efficiency.Failure to take this precaution could result in loss of vehicle control.

NOTICE
When descending a down hill, NEVER turn the igni tion key to the “LOCK” position. Emission control system damage may result.
