Parking sensors (if equipped)
61MM0A192
(1) Symbol representing an obstacle detected by parking sensor*
* This symbol shows that an obstacle is located on the right rear of vehicle.
• The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles near the front
and/or rear bumpers. If obstacles are sensed while you are parking or moving the vehi-
cle slowly, the system warns you by sounding a buzzer and displaying symbols repre-
senting the obstacles on the information display in the instrument cluster.
• The system emits an ultrasonic wave and the relevant sensor detects the return of the
wave reflected by an obstacle. The system measures the time taken by the ultrasonic
wave to reach the obstacle and return from it, from which it determines the obstacle’s
position.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
• The parking sensor warns you of
obstacles with buzzers and by
showing you the location of the
obstacles on the information dis-
play. However, you still have to
drive with particular care.
• The sensors can detect obstacles
only within a limited area and only
when the vehicle is moving within a
limited speed range. So, in tricky
areas, you must move the vehicle
slowly while checking around it
using your direct vision or rearview
mirrors. There is increased risk of
an accident if you control the vehi-
cle relying only on the parking sen-
sor.

Working sensors
The sensors work depending on the gearshift lever position and parking brake lever posi-
tion as follows:
Gearshift lever position R N, 1st – 5th or 6th Parking brake lever
Front sensors
(if equipped)Center Off On Release
Corner On On No relation
Rear sensorsCenter On Off No relation
Corner On Off No relationApproximate areas where obstacles can
be detected
54P000368
• An obstacle within about 20 cm (8 in)
from a sensor or just below a sensor is
not detectable.
• The sensors can detect an obstacle up
to about 1 m (3 ft) from the front of the
vehicle, or about 1.5 m (5 ft) from the
rear of vehicle.
EXAMPLE

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
54P00-01E
NOTE:
• Thin poles or obstacles lower than the
sensors may become undetectable as
the vehicle moves closer to them even if
they have been detected from longer
distances.
• The system may calculate the distance
to a road sign or similar obstacle to be
shorter than the actual distance.
WA R N I N G
• Under the following conditions, the
parking sensor system may not
work normally because the sensors
cannot detect obstacles correctly.
– Sensors are covered with mud,
ice or other materials. (Such
materials must be removed for
normal operation.)
– Sensors are wet from water
splashes or heavy rain.
– Sensors are covered by a hand,
sticker, accessory, etc.
– There is an accessory or other
object attached within the sen-
sor’s sensing area.
– Items such as tow hooks, com-
mercially available corner poles,
radio antenna, etc. are installed
on the bumper.
– The height of the bumper is
changed due to alteration to the
suspension or other causes.
– The sensor areas are extremely
hot from direct sunlight or cold
due to freezing weather.
– The vehicle is on a rough sur-
face, slope, gravel road or grass
field.
– The vehicle is at a steep angle.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
– Sensors have intercepted ultra-
sonic noise from another vehi-
cle’s horn, engine, air braking
system (large vehicles), or park-
ing sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a
highly reflective object such as
glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not
reflected back from the obstacle.)
• Sensors may not be able to cor-
rectly detect the following types of
obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material
such as wire netting and ropes
– Square-shaped curbstones or
other objects with sharp edges
– Tall objects with a large upper
part such as a road sign
– Low-profile objects such as curb-
stones
– Sound-absorbing objects such
as cotton and snow

(3) (4) (4)EXAMPLE
Upon detecting an obstacle, the parking sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound and a
symbol representing the obstacle appears on the information display in the instrument cluster.
• A different symbol is displayed depending on the direction and distance of the obstacle.
• A buzzer in the instrument panel sounds when a sensor at the front (if equipped)
detects an obstacle.
• A buzzer located behind the rear seat sounds when a sensor at the rear detects an
obstacle.
• Warnings when obstacles are detected by corner sensors
• Warnings when obstacles are detected by center sensors
NOTE:
• Symbols are displayed with a short delay after the detection of obstacles.
• If the system detects multiple obstacles simultaneously, the display shows all of their
positions using the corresponding symbols. However, the buzzers will sound only for
the nearest obstacles.Distance (approx.) Buzzer Symbol

Set sensors
You can select either the normal or trailer
mode of the parking sensor via the infor-
mation display. Refer to “Information dis-
play” in “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Normal mode
All sensors operate. Use this mode under
normal conditions.
Trailer mode
The rear corner and rear center sensors
are inhibited from operating. Use this
mode when towing a trailer.
NOTICE
Check that the normal mode is
selected with the parking sensor
when steering the vehicle into a
garage. If the parking sensor is left in
the trailer mode, the rear corner and
rear center sensors are not function-
ing.
Warning and indicator messages
If there is a problem or warning regarding the parking sensor system, a message is dis-
played on the information display in the instrument cluster, and a symbol blinks and the
buzzer sounds. If a message is displayed, follow its instruction.

The ESP® indicator lights are described
below:
ESP® warning light
52KM133
This light blinks 5 times per second when
one of the following systems is activated.
• Stability control system
• Traction control system
• Hill descent control system (if equipped)
If this light blinks, drive carefully.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position, or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working.NOTE:
When the ESP
® warning light comes on
and stays on while driving, indicating a
malfunction of the ESP
® systems (other
than ABS), the brake system will function
as an ordinary ABS with no additional
ESP
® functions.
ESP® OFF indicator light
57L30045
You should turn the ESP® on during your
ordinary driving, so that you have the ben-
efits of all of the ESP
® systems.
It may be required to turn the ESP
® sys-
tems (other than ABS) off if your vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, or snow, where wheel
spin is necessary.

When the ESP
® OFF switch located at the
instrument panel is pushed and held to
turn off the ESP
® systems (other than
ABS), the ESP® OFF indicator light in the
instrument cluster comes on.
When you have turned the ESP
® systems
(other than ABS) off, turn them back on
before resuming ordinary driving.
When you push the ESP
® OFF switch
again, the ESP® OFF indicator light will go
out and all of the ESP® systems will be
activated.

If the message shown in the above illustra-
tion appears on the information display,
there may be a problem with the ESP
®
system. Have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
The ESP
® system will not activate while
this message is displayed.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the radar
brake support system, when the ESP
®
system is turned off, the radar brake sup-
port system will be turned off.

See “Braking” in this section.
Hill descent control system (if equipped)
The hill descent control system is designed
to reduce the driver’s workload when going
down steep, rough and/or slippery hills
where the vehicle cannot decelerate
enough by engine braking alone. The hill
descent control system helps to control
vehicle speed by automatically engaging
the vehicle’s brakes, as needed, so you
can concentrate on steering the vehicle.(1)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely excessively on the hill
descent control system. The hill
descent control system may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to control vehicle speed by
applying the brakes. Failure to pay
attention and control vehicle speed
using the brakes when necessary
may result in loss of control or an
accident.
