Engine coolant temperature light
54G344
When the ignition switch is turned "ON", this light comes on briefly so you can check that the light is working.
This indicator has the following two func­tions.
Low engine coolant temperature light (blue color)
This light stays on while the engine is still cold and goes off when the engine has warmed up.
If this light blinks, there is a problem with the system. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
High engine coolant temperature warn­ing light (red color)
If this light blinks while driving, it means the engine is running hot. Avoid driving condi­tions that may lead to actual overheating. If the light stays on without blinking, then the engine is overheating. Follow the instruc­tions in "Engine trouble: Overheating" of "EMERGENCY SERVICE" section.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when engine overheating is indicated can result in severe engine damage.
BEFORE DRIVING
Dual sensor brake support indica­
tor light (if equipped)

Wiper and washer operation
When the ignition switch is in "ON" posi­tion, you can use the wiper/washer lever.
When the wipers are under heavy load such as covered by snow, the breaker will be activated and the wipers will stop oper­ating to protect the wiper motor from over­heating. If the wiper stops during operation, do the following methods.
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn the engine off. 2) Move the wiper lever and switch to "OFF" position. 3) Remove obstacles such as snow on the wipers. 4) After a while, when the temperature of the wiper motor becomes low enough, the breaker will be reset automatically and the wipers will be able to use.
If you cannot use the wipers after a while, there may be another problem. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to have the wipers inspected.
Windshield wipers
MIST
OFF
INT
LO
HI
78RB02059
To turn the windshield wipers on, move the lever down to one of the three operating positions. In "INT" position, the wipers operate intermittently. The "INT" position is very convenient for driving in mist or light rain. In "LO" position, the wipers operate at a steady low speed. In "HI" position, the wipers operate at a steady high speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever back to "OFF" position.
Move the lever up and hold it to "MIST" position, the windshield wipers will turn on continuously at low speed.
BEFORE DRIVING
Windshield washer
78RB02060
To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the lever toward you. The windshield wipers will automatically turn on at low speed if they are not already on and your vehicle is equipped with "INT" position.
.A, WARNING
To prevent windshield icing in cold weather, turn on the defroster to heat the windshield before and during windshield washer use. Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer reservoir. It can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle's paint.

A WARNING
Your vehicle should be handled in a different way when towing a trailer. For the safety of yourself and others, observe the following precautions: Practice turning, stopping, and reversing before you begin towing a trailer in traffic. Do not tow a trailer in traffic until you are confi­dent that you can handle the vehi­cle and trailer safely. Never exceed local towing speed limits or 80 km/h (50 mph), which­ever is lower. Never drive at a speed that causes shaking or swaying of the trailer. If you notice even the slightest sign of shaking or swaying, slow down. • When roads are wet, slippery or rough, drive at a slower speed than you would on dry or smooth roads. Failure to slow down when road conditions are bad can result in loss of control. Always have someone guide you when reversing. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) Always admit greater stopping dis­tance. Stopping distance is increased when you tow a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead. Allow a greater stopping distance if roads are wet or slippery. If the trailer has over-run brakes, apply the brakes gradually to avoid snatching caused by the trailer wheels locking. Slow down before corners and maintain a steady speed while cor­nering. Deceleration or accelera­tion while cornering can result in loss of control. Remember that a larger than normal turning radius is needed because the trailer wheels will go inside than vehicle's wheels. Avoid sudden acceleration and stopping of the vehicle. Do not make quick maneuvers unless they are necessary. Slow down in cross winds and be prepared for gusts of wind from large passing vehicles. (Continued)
BEFORE DRIVING
A WARNING
(Continued) Be careful when overtaking other vehicles. Allow enough room for your trailer before changing lanes, and use turn signal lights properly in advance. Slow down and shift into a lower gear for better engine braking before you reach long or steep downhill grades. It is hazardous to attempt downshifting while you are descending a hill. Do not step on the brake pedal excessively. This could cause the brakes to over-heat resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Use engine braking as much as possi­ble. Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat on hot days when going up long or steep hills. Pay attention to your engine coolant temperature. If it indicates overheating, pull off the road and stop the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to "Engine trouble: Overheating" in "EMERGENCY SERVICE" section.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Parking brake lever
(1) To set (2) To release (3) To release
The parking brake lever is located between the front seats. To set the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and pull the park­ing brake lever all the way up. To release the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and pull up slightly on the parking brake lever, push the button on the end of the lever with your thumb, and lower the lever to its original position.
3-5
For automatic transmission vehicles, always set the parking brake before mov­ing the gearshift lever to "P" (PARK) posi­tion. If you park on an incline and shift into "P" before setting the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift out of "P" when you are ready to drive the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle, move the gearshift lever out of "P" position before releasing the parking brake.
A WARNING
• Whenever parking, make sure the gearshift lever for manual trans­mission vehicles is in 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) and the gearshift lever for automatic transmission or automatic transmission vehicles is in 11P" {Park). Remember, even though the transmission is in gear or in Park, you must set the parking brake fully. • When parking on an uphill, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels point to the center of the
road. • When parking on a downhill, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels point to the curb. • Never drive your vehicle with the parking brake on: rear brake effec­tiveness can be reduced from overM heating, brake life may be shortened, or permanent brake damage may result. • If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle securely or does not fully release, have your vehicle inspected immediately by a SUZUKI dealer.

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.

DRIVING TIPS
Snow chains
Snow chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Check that the chains you use are the correct size for your vehicle's tyres. Also check that there is enough clearance between the fenders and the chains as installed on the tyres. Install the chains on the rear tyres tightly, according to the chain manufacturer's instructions. Retighten the chains after driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces­sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
NOTICE
If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driving, stop and tighten them.
4-5
Do not drive in the field covered
with grown grass
If you drive in the field covered with grass, it may cause accident or vehicle damage by getting caught in grown grass.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transfer shift lever into the "4L"
position. 2) Shift the transmission back and forth between a forward range (or first gear for manual transmission) and reverse. This will create a rocking motion which may give you enough momentum to free the vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spin to a min­imum. Remove your foot from the accelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper, making it more difficult to free the vehicle. 3) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull you out.
A WARNING
Do not allow anyone to stand near the vehicle when you are rocking it, and do not spin the wheels faster than an indicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on the speedometer. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
• Release the accelerator pedal when operating the gearshift lever or the transfer lever. Operating the gear­shift lever or the transfer lever with the engine racing can damage the gears and the free axle mechanism. • Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Pro­longed rocking can cause engine overheating, transmission, trans­fer case, axles, propeller shaft or differential damage, or tyre dam­age.
