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.
3-7
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.
Starting engine
Before starting engine
~ 2 4 R
AT
NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with Brake Over-fl..l""'"-i ® ride System. If you depress both the accel­erator pedal and the brake pedal simultaneously, the engine power output may be suppressed.

1) Check that the parking brake is set fully. 2) Manual transmission -Shift into "N" (Neutral). Hold the clutch pedal and brake pedal fully depressed. Automatic transmission -If the gear­shift lever is not in "P" (Park) position, shift into "P" (Park). (If you need to restart the engine while the vehicle is moving, shift into "N".)

NOTE: Automatic transmission vehicles have a starter interlock device which is designed to keep the starter from operating if the transmission is in any of the drive posi­tions.
A WARNING
Check that the parking brake is set fully and the transmission is in Neu­tral (or Park for vehicles with an auto­matic transmission) before attempting to start the engine.
Starting a cold and warm engine
With your foot taken off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine by turning the igni­tion key to "START". Release the key when the engine starts.
NOTICE
• Stop turning the starter immedi­ately after the engine has started or the starter system can be dam­aged. For protection of a lead-acid bat­tery and a starter motor, do not use the starter motor by turning the key to "START" for more than 12 sec­onds at a time. If the engine dose not start, turn the key to 11LOCK" position and wait for more than 30 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, consult a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the engine does not start after 12 sec­onds of cranking, wait about 30 seconds, and then press down the accelerator pedal to 1/3 of its stroke and try cranking the engine again. Release the key and accel­erator pedal when the engine starts.
If the engine still does not start, depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor while cranking.

The gearshift lever is designed so that it cannot be shifted out of "P" position unless the ignition switch is in "ON" position and the brake pedal is depressed.
Use the gearshift lever positions as fol­lows:
P (Park) Use this position to lock the transmission when the vehicle is parked or when start­ing the engine. Shift into Park only when the vehicle is completely stationary.
R (Reverse) Use this position to reverse the vehicle from stop. Make sure that vehicle is corn-
pletely stationary before shifting into Reverse.
N (Neutral) Use this position for starting the engine if the engine stalls and you need to restart it while the vehicle is moving. You may also shift into Neutral and depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle stationary during
idling.
D (Drive) Use this position for all normal driving.
With the gearshift lever in "D" range you ?an get an automatic downshift by press­ing the accelerator pedal. The higher the vehicle speed is, the more you need to press the accelerator pedal to get a down­shift.
2 (Low2) Use this position to provide extra power when climbing hills, or to provide engine braking when going down hills.
L (Low 1) Use this position to provide maximum power when climbing steep hills or driving through deep snow or mud, or to provide maximum engine braking when going down steep hills.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A, WARNING
Always depress the brake pedal before shifting from "P" (Park) (or "N" (Neutral) if the vehicle is station­ary) to a forward or reverse gear, to help prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly when you shift.

The transmission is a 4-speed (3-speed plus overdrive) automatic transmission. By operating the overdrive off switch, the transmission can be converted to a 3-speed automatic transmission that will not move to the overdrive position. To convert the transmission to the 3-speed mode, push in the overdrive off switch and release it.
To return the transmission to the 4-speed mode, push in the overdrive off switch again:
When the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC" position, the transmission in the 3-speed mode is converted to the 4-speed mode automatically. The 3-speed mode is suitable for the fol­lowing driving conditions: Driving on hilly, winding roads -You can drive more smoothly with less frequent gear changing Going down a steep hill -Some engine braking is provided
