ing light
(8)
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned "ON", this light comes on briefiy so you can check that the light is working. If the light stays on or comes on when driv­ing, there may be something wrong with the ABS.
If this happens: 1) Pull off the road and stop carefully. 2) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" and then start the engine again.
If the warning light comes on briefiy and then turns off, the system is normal. If the warning light still stays on, something is wrong with the system.
If the light and the brake system warning light stay on or come on simultaneously when driving, your ABS system is equipped with the rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) and there may be something wrong with both the rear brake force control function and the anti-lock function of the ABS system.
If one of the above occurs, have the sys­tem inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that does not have this ABS sys­
tem.
For details of ABS system, refer to "Anti­lock brake system (ABS)" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" section.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Clutch pedal (1)
A clutch pedal is used to disengage the driving force to the wheels when starting the engine, stopping, or shifting the gear­shift lever. Depressing the pedal disen­gages the clutch.
A WARNING
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. It could result in excessive clutch wear, clutch dam­age, or unexpected loss of engine braking.
Brake pedal (2)
Your vehicle is equipped with either front and rear disc brakes or front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Depressing a brake pedal applies both sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal when you apply the brakes. This is a nor­mal condition caused by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity or dust, etc.
A WARNING
If brake squeal is excessive and occurs each time the brakes are applied, you should have the brakes checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

A WARNING
Do not apply brakes continuously or rest your foot on the brake pedal. This will result in overheating of the brakes which could cause unpredict­able braking action, longer stopping distances, or permanent brake dam­
age.
Accelerator pedal (3)
An accelerator pedal controls the speed of the engine. Depressing the accelerator pedal increases power output and speed.
