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.
