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

Never connect the jump lead directlyto the negative (–) terminal of the dis- charged battery, or an explosion may occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump le ad to the engine mount bracket securely. If the jump lead disconnects from the engine mount bracket because of vibrationat the start of the engine, the jump lead could be caught in the drive belts.
NOTICE
To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shiftlever to the “N” position, always check the gear position indicator in the instrument cluster shows the “N”position to make sure that the transaxle is disengaged. If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position, and move the Auto Gear Shift lever from “N” to “D”,“M” or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then turn the key from the “ON” to the “LOCK” position.These procedures may help put the transaxle in neutral. If the transaxle still cannot be put in neutral, you can-not tow the vehicle without using a towing dolly. The steering column is not strongenough to with stand shocks trans- mitted from the fr ont wheels during towing. Always unlock the steeringwheel before towing.
