Lithium-ion battery and DCDC con-
verter
53SB20205
(1) Lead-acid battery
(2) Lithium-ion battery
(3) DCDC converter
This lithium-ion battery and DCDC con-
verter are used exclusively for the vehicle
equipped with ENG A-STOP system or
SHVS, and located below the front seat.
• Just like a battery (lead-acid battery), the
lithium-ion battery also discharges grad-
ually.
To prevent the lithium-ion battery from
dying, you must charge the lithium-ion
battery by driving continuously for at
least 30 minutes once a month.
• The lithium-ion battery and DCDC con-
verter are maintenance-free.
• To replace or dispose of the lithium-ion
battery, or to replace the DCDC con-
verter, consult an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
NOTE:
The upper part of the DCDC converter is
equipped with a cooling fan and you may
hear the operating noise. But this is nor-
mal.
CAUTION
• Do not get out of the vehicle when
the engine has been stopped auto-
matically by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem. This may result in an accident.
If the driver’s seat belt is unfas-
tened or the driver’s door is
opened, the engine will be restarted
to warn you that the engine was
stopped automatically by the ENG
ASTOP system.
• If the engine does not restart auto-
matically after having been
stopped automatically by the ENG
A-STOP system, push the engine
switch to start the engine.
Trying to move the vehicle when
the engine has not yet restarted
requires a strong force to turn the
steering wheel or depress the
brake pedal, potentially leading to
an accident.
