OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
69TB-01E
The hill hold control system activates for a
maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is
moved from the brake pedal when the fol-
lowing 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.
(Except for manual transmission model)
On model equipped with the ENG A-STOP
system, the hill hold control system is acti-
vated when the engine is restarted after
being stopped automatically, even if the
previous conditions are not met.
NOTE:
When the hill hold control system is acti-
vated, 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.
If the message shown in the above illustra-
tion appears on the information display,
there may be a problem with the hill hold
control system. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
or a qualified workshop.
NOTE:
The hill hold control system will not acti-
vate while this message is displayed.
Braking
59RN05770
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be
approximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19
mph). Start to depress the brake pedal
when there is plenty of distance between
your vehicle and the stopping point, and
slow down gradually.
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 snow-covered road, or
the muddy road 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.
