NOTICE
• Never operate your vehicle in 114H" or 114L" on dry pavement and, as much as possible, avoid using "4H" or "4L" on wet pavement, as this may seriously damage the drive train.
• If the transfer lever is returned to the original position while shifting the transfer lever, the drive train may be damaged . . When you turn suddenly on a sharp curve, a side road, or a parking space in "4H" or 114L" position, the turning strength of the steering wheel will be growing big and tight corner braking phenomenon• may occur and result in accidents. 4-wheel drive system damage could also result.
''Tight corner braking phenomenon is the similar situation to depress the brake when the drive train is in 4-wheel drive position ("4H" or "4L") and the steering wheel is turned suddenly and then the revolution difference between the front wheels and the rear wheels could not absorb.

A WARNING
The detection performance of the dual sensor has limits and the dual sensor cannot detect all vehicles, pedestrian, object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.), partition lines or traffic sign. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. • Observe the following instructions in order to keep the dual sensor functioning properly. If mishandled, the dual sensor cannot accurately detect a vehicle, a pedestrian, an object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.) or partition lines in front of you, the system will not function properly and unexpected accidents may occur. -Do not touch the lens of the dual sensor. -Do not clean the lens of the dual sensor by yourself. -Do not strike the body of, or any surrounding parts of the dual sensor.

Emergency stop signal (ESS) (if equipped)
ESS stands for Emergency Stop Signal.
ESS is a feature t_hat gives a warning to a following vehicle by fiashing all turn signal lights faster than usual 1f all the following conditions are met. Also, within these conditions, it will fiash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster. • When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or over. • When the ABS is activated or when you suddenly brake similar to activating the ABS.
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations: • When you release the brake When the ABS is no longer activated When you turn on the hazard warning switch When the car is no longer rapidly decelerating

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
Although the ESS is designed to reduce the number of rear-end collisions that occur from sudden braking, by warning a following vehicle, it cannot prevent all collisions. Always make an effort to drive safely and avoid unnecessary sudden braking when stopping or decelerating.
NOTE: The ESS feature cannot be deactivated. • Use of the hazard warning switch should be given preference over the ESS. When driving on the following surfaces and the ABS gives out momentarily, the ESS may not function. -When driving on slippery surfaces -When driving over bumps on the road such as highway joint seams

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument cluster comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. If the ABS warning light (1) and the brake system warning light (2) on the instrument cluster simultaneously stay on or come on while driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slippery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible.
3-55
How ABS works
A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly. indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop. you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself.
A WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual.
Electronic stability program
(ESP®)
ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to control the vehicle during cornering if front wheels or rear wheels skid. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine's output, and by_ . selective!¥ applying the brakes. In add1t1on, ESP helps to avoid skidding by controlling braking pressure.
A WARNING
The ESP® cannot enhance the vehicle's driving stability in all situations and does not control your vehicle's entire braking system. The ESP® cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe and attentive drive can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESP®
equipped vehicle must never be used as a substitute for careful driving.
