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.

A WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully before leaving your vehicle or it may move, causing injury or damage. When parking, make sure the gear­shift lever for manual transmission vehicles is in 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) and the gearshift lever for automatic transmission vehicles is in "P" (Park). Remember, even though the transmission is in gear or in Park, you must set the parking brake fully.
A WARNING
When parking the vehicle in extremely cold weather, the following procedure should be used: 1) Set the parking brake. 2) Manual transmission -turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or first gear. Automatic transmission -shift into "P" (Park) and turn off the engine. 3) Get out of the vehicle and put chocks under the wheels. 4) Release the parking brake. When you return to your vehicle, first set the parking brake, and then remove the wheel chocks.

Pay attention to shifting the transfer lever safely when driving your vehi­cle.
NOTE: After shifting the transfer lever from "2H'" to "4H", check that the 4WD indicator
light comes on. After shifting the transfer lever from "4H" to "2H", check that the 4WD indicator goes off. ·
When 4WD indicator fight is blinking after shifting the transfer fever to "4H" position, accelerate, slow down your vehicle or stop and reverse your vehicle a little to shift the transfer lever. Pay attention to the vehicles and the circum­ference toward or backward your vehicle when shifting the transfer fever. When you shift the transfer fever while turning the steering wheel or depressing the accelerator pedal, shifting the trans­fer fever may be difficult. Operate the transfer fever while driving at low speed if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position when the vehicle is stopped.
Shift the transfer fever again after decel­erating or stopping the vehicle if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position while driv­ing or when the gear noise occurs. There may be a case to operate the transfer fever heavily when shifting the transfer lever from "4H" position to "2H" P_Osition while driving. In this case, posi­tion the front wheels straight ahead and drive for a while and then operate shift­ing the transfer fever again. When the transfer lever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position and the air lock­ing hubs are activated, the air condition­ing system may not be operated for several seconds. This is not a malfunc­tion. When the ignition switch is turned "ON" after the transfer fever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position while stopping the engine, 4WD indicator light may blink. This is not a malfunction.

Hill descent control system
The hill descent control system is designed to reduce the driver's workload when going down steep, rough and/or slippery hills where the vehicle cannot decelerate enough by engine braking alone. The hill descent control system helps to control vehicle speed by automatically engaging the vehicle's brakes, as needed, so you can concentrate on steering the vehicle.
.A. WARNING
Do not rely excessively on the hill descent control system. The hill descent control system may not con­trol the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepa!ed to control vehicle speed by applying the brakes. Failure to pay attention and control vehicle speed using the brakes when necessary may result in loss of control or an accident.

To activate the hill descent control system: 1) Shift the transfer lever into 4-wheel drive hiQh range position ("4H") or 4-wh!"el drive low '.ange position ("4L"). 2) Shift the gearsh1ft lever into a forward gear or reverse gear. 3) Push the hill descent control switch (1) when the vehicle speed is under 25 km/h (15 mph). The hill descent control indica­tor on the instrument cluster will come on and the hill descent control system will be activated.
4-wheel drive high range position When the vehicle speed exceeds about 1 o km/h (6 mph) without depressing the accelerator pedal, the hill descent control system applies the brakes automatically to maintain the vehicle speed at about 1 O km/ h (6 mph).
4-wheel drive low range position When the vehicle speed exceeds about 5 km/h (3 mph) without depressing the accelerator pedal, the hill descent control system applies the brakes automatically to maintain the vehicle speed at about 5 km/h (3 mph).
• When braking, the brake/tail lights come on and the ESP® warning light blinks. When the vehicle speed exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph), the hill descent con­trol system stops functioning and the hill descent control indicator goes off. When the vehicle slows down below about 25 km/h (16 mph), the hill descent control system will be activated again and the hill descent control indicator will come on.

A WARNING
• When the hill descent control sys­tem is used continuously for a long time, the temperature of the bra~e system may increase and the hill descent control system may be deactivated temporarily to protect the device of the brake system. The hill descent control indicator blinks to let you know the system is deac­tivated. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle in a safe place. When the temperature of the brake system goes down, the hill descent control indicator will come on and the system is activated again. • The hill descent control system may be activated when the gear­shift lever is in "N" (Neutral) posi~ tion, but engine braking will not work. Always use the hill descent control system with the gearshift lever in a forward gear or reverse
gear. When using the hill descent control system, push the hill descent con­trol switch and make sure that the hill descent control indicator light comes on and no warning message are indicated on the information display.

If the message shown in the above illustra­tion appears on the information display, master warning indicator light blinks and the interior buzzer beeps, there may be a problem with the hill descent control sys­tem and the hill hold control system. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: You cannot activate the hill descent control system while this message is displayed.
Hill hold control system
The hill hold control system is designed to assist you in starting to move up hills. When you start to move up a hill, the sys­tem helps prevent the vehicle from rolling downward (for approximately 2 seconds) while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
A WARNING
• Do not rely excessively on the hill hold control system. The hill hold control system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling downward on a hill under all load or road condi­tions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling downward. Failure to pay attention and depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle on a hill when necessary, may result in loss of control or an accident. The hill hold control system is not designed to stop the vehicle on a hill. (Continued)

A WARNING
(Continued) After you release your foot from the brake pedal, accelerate the vehicle to move up immediately. If you release your foot from the brake pedal over 2 seconds, the hill hold control system will be canceled. If so, the vehicle may roll downward, which can result in an accident depending on the degree of slope. And, the engine may stall and the power assist for the steering and brakes will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual which can result in an accident or vehicle damage. If you drive on the steep slope, the gravel, the sclnow-covered road, or the muddy r I'd and the hill hold control system is activated, there may be a possibility that the wheels will be locked and then the vehicle may lose the control.
The hill hold control system activates for a maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the fol­lowing conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear. 2) The parking brake is released. 3) The vehicle is on an upward incline.
NOTE: When the hill hold control system is acti­vated, the following conditions may be found, but this is not a malfunction. You may hear a sound from the engine room. As brake pedal becomes heavy, it may be difficult for you to depress it.
