To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob on the end of the lever. There are four positions:
OFF (1) All lights are off.
AUTO (2) This function works when the ignition switch is turned "ON". The headlights and position lights are turned on and off auto­matically according to the amount of out­side light detected by the sensor. They go out automatically when you turn the igni­tion switch to "ACC" or "LOCK" position.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount of outside light is installed on the passen­ger's seat side instrument panel.
When headlights are turned on and the lighting control lever is in "AUTO" position, you can use the high beam assist (if equipped). For details, refer to "High beam assist" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" section.

A CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind­shield is covered with mud, ice1 or other similar substances, the head­lights and position lights may be turned on even when it is still light outside.
NOTE: Avoid covering the light sensor area of the windshield with a sticker. The sticker may impair the performance of the sen­sor and make the system unable to con­trol operation of the lights correctly. If you turned the ignition switch to "ON" position and "AUTO" position remains selected, the headlights and position lights come on automatically as it gets dark outside, even with the engine not running. Leaving the lights lit for a long time may lead to a completely dis­charged battery.

Auto-on headlight system
78RB02093
The auto-on headlight system automati­cally _turns on all lights that are operated by the lighting control lever on the steering column, when the following three condi­tions are all met.
Conditions for auto-on headlight system operation: 1) It is dark around the light sensor (5). 2) The lighting control lever is in "AUTO"
position. 3) The ignition switch is in the "ON" posi-tion.
This. system is activated by a signal from the light sensor (5) on the passenger side of instrument panel. Do not cover the sen­sor (5). Otherwise, the system will not work
correctly.
A WARNING
It takes about 5 seconds for the light sensor to react to a change in light­ing conditions. To help avoid an acci­dent due to reduced visibility, turn on your headlights before driving into a tunnel, parking structure, etc.
NOTE: The light sensor reacts even to infrared rays, so it may operate incorrectly when there are strong infrared rays.

Maximum towing capacity (gross trailer weight; trailer with inte­grated drawbar, and cargo)
Braked trailer: 1300 kg (2866 lbs) Unbraked trailer: 350 kg (772 lbs)
To load your vehicle and trailer properly, you must know how to measure gross trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
78RB02083
(1) Gross trailer weight Gross trailer weight is the weight of the trailer with integrated drawbar plus all the cargo in it. You can measure gross trailer weight by putting the fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
2-73
(2) Permissible nose weight Nose weight is the downward force applied on the towing hitch ball by the trailer coupler, with the trailer fully loaded and the coupler at its normal towing height. This weight can also be measured using a bathroom scale.
The maximum towing capacity listed above(1300kg) is only applicable up to 1 000m above sea level. In high altitude regions above 1 000m, combined weight of the maximum towing capacity (gross trailer weight) and permissible gross vehicle weight (GVWR) must be reduced by 10% for every extra 1 000m.
A WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual sensor brake support, if your vehicle is used to tow a trailer, press the dual sensor brake support OFF switch to turn off the dual sensor brake sup­port. If not, accidents related to the system being turned on may occur.
A CAUTION
When towing by your vehicle equipped with automatic transmis­sion on a long steep uphill, try to take some rest on the way at a safe place to prevent overheat or damage of the engine or transmission.
NOTICE
Trailer towing puts additional stress on the engine, transmission and brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer during the first 1000 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation.

The electronic control system monitors driving condition (such as vehicle speed and/or engine revolution), and it shows which gear position is optimal for your driv­ing with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated in the dis­play while driving, we recommend you to shift up or down the gear. It is the optimal gear position for a driving condition that reduces the over revolution and stress to the engine, and improves fuel consump­tion.
For details on how to use the transmission, refer to "Using the transmission" in this sec­tion.
A WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to indicate optimal gear position for your driving, however, a driver will not be relieved from the duty of care of driving operation or gear change with this indicator. To drive safe, do not gaze the gear­shift indicator, pay attention to your driving situation and shift up or down if necessary.
NOTE: The gearshift indicator is not indicated when the gear position is in "N" (Neu­tral). If you depress the clutch pedal while UPI DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication will disappear. In ordinary driving, UP arrow will disap­pear when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal. The indication of gearshift indicator tim­ing may differ depending on the vehicle condition and/or driving situation even in the same vehicle speed and engine rev­
olution. If any of the electrical systems such as dual sensor brake support system, or ESP" system is working, the gearshift indicator will disappear temporarily.

SUZUKI SAFETY SUPPORT
(if equipped)
Dual sensor brake support
Dual sensor brake support is a system that detects a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of your vehicle by the dual sensor, attempts to avoid a collision by giving warning to the driver, and attempts to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
A WARNING
• Dual sensor brake support has lim­its and may not function properly depending on the driving condi­tions. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself. Check that all passengers fasten their seat belts when the vehicle is being operated. When the system is activated, there is a risk of serious injury from being thrown.
NOTE: While the system is working, if a vehicle in front of you moves outside the dual sensor's detection field or the vehicle can no longer be detected, the system may stop functioning. While the system is working, a braking sound may be heard even if you do not depress the brake pedal, but this is nor­mal. • As the function of the dual sensor brake support is different depending on some destinations or areas, there are type of vehicles with the function not to detect the pedestrians.
