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.

NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use.
4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched.5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera- tion.6) Adjust the seat and head restraint (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Make sure that you and all passengershave properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEMWARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level 4) Windshield washer fluid level 5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the hood securely after check- ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte- nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri- cation schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler- ation and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump- tion, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has notchanged. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driv ing. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

Depress brake pedal indicator
76MH0A047
This light will come on if you do not depress the brake pedal in the following situations. When starting the engine. When the engine is on and the gearshift lever is shifted from “N” position to “D”,“M” or “R” position. When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position and the engine is off, the gear-shift lever is shifte d into any position. This light will also come on if one of the gears cannot be engaged and the systemis unable to re-try shifting when you shift the gearshift lever from “N” position to “D”, “M” or “R” position.
Starting the engine When starting the engine, always place thegearshift lever in the “N” position and depress the brake pedal firmly. The engine cannot be started unless the gearshiftlever is in the “N” position and the brake pedal is depressed.
76MH0A056
Clutch operationYou can select either the Drive (D) mode or the Manual (M) mode. Since this vehiclecontrols clutch operation electronically in either mode, you do not need to operate the clutch.
NOTICE
• To help avoid clutch damage, donot use the clutch pedal as a foot-rest while driving or use the clutch to keep the vehicle stationary on a slope. Depress the clutch fullywhen shifting. • When shifting or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the enginecan shorten engine life and affect smooth shifting.
NOTICE
Do not depress both the brake pedaland accelerator pedal simultane- ously. This can cause damage oroverheating to the clutch.

Creeping function This vehicle has a creeping function that helps the vehicle to start smoothly byengaging the clutch. When the gearshift lever is in any of the positions “D”, “M” or “R”, and you release your foot from thebrake pedal, the vehicle starts slowly with- out depressing the accelerator pedal. The creeping function is disabled if you depressthe brake pedal or pull up the parking brake lever.
NOTE: If the driver’s door is opened and/or the parking brake lever is engaged with thegear in the “M”, “D” or “R” position, the creeping function will not operate.
Parking and Stopping the vehicle Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. The vehicle can be parked withthe gearshift lever in any position. When stopping the vehicle, the gear will be shifted to 1st.
Drive (D) mode When the Drive (D) mode is activated, the most appropriate gear position is automati- cally selected upon operation of the accel- erator pedal and variation of vehicle speed.
Normal driving: 1) Start the engine as instructed in

Starting off on an uphill/downhill:
Uphill1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that the vehicle does not roll backwards.2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “D” posi-tion while depressing the brake pedal.Make sure that the gear position indica-tor in the instrumental cluster displays1st gear. 3) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually, andwhen the vehicle starts to move, releasethe parking brake and depress the accel-erator pedal to start off.
Downhill 1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position. Make sure that the gear is in 1st by checkingthe gear position indicator. 2) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal slowly. Even if theaccelerator pedal is not depressed, the clutch will be engaged when the vehicle speed increases.
Using engine braking: When driving on a downhill slope, down- shifting is recommended. So you can useengine braking. By placing the gearshift lever in the “M” position, the Manual (M) mode is selected,and you can shift to a lower gear manually. For details of downshift operation, refer to “Upshift and downshift” in the “Manual (M)mode”.
Manual (M) mode The gears are not shifted automatically. To shift the transaxle, the driver must operate the gearshift lever to the “+” or “–” direc-tion. As for conventional manual transaxle vehicles, releasing the accelerator pedal a little may help the transaxle to shift smoothly.
Upshift and downshift:
Upshifting
76MH0A058
NOTICE
If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changedto “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h (6 mph), there may be a sys-tematic malfunction. In this case, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system assoon as possible.
NOTICE
Do not operate the system as described below. The life cycle of the clutch may be reduced.• Using the accelerator pedal to hold the vehicle on an uphill slope with the gearshift lever in the “D” or “M”position. If you perform this opera- tion for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.• Shifting the gearsh ift lever to the “D”, “M” or “R” position while rac- ing the engine.• Driving at low speed using a high gear. • Holding the vehicle on an uphillslope using the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warningbuzzer will sound.
NOTICE
On an uphill slope, never hold thevehicle at a stop using only the accel-erator pedal 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 to theclutch.R
