“ENG A-STOP OFF” Light
If the “ENG A-STOP OFF” light blinks
when driving, there may be something
wrong with the ENG A-STOP system. You
should have the system inspected by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. For
details, refer to “Warning and Indicator
Lights” in the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Parking Sensors (if equipped)
• The parking sensor system uses ultra-
sonic sensors to detect obstacles near
the rear bumpers. If obstacles are
sensed while you are parking or moving
the vehicle slowly, the system warns you
by sounding a buzzer.
• The system emits an ultrasonic wave
and the relevant sensor detects the
return of the wave reflected by an obsta-
cle. The system measures the time
taken by the ultrasonic wave to reach the
obstacle and return from it, from which it
determines the obstacle’s position.
• The parking sensor function can be used
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
gearshift lever is in the “R” position and
the parking sensor switch is in the “ON”
position. This function is helpful in the
following cases: pulling over to the curb;
parallel-parking the vehicle; steering the
vehicle into a garage; driving along an
alley; and moving slowly in a place with
obstacles.
Sensor Locations

(1) Rear center sensors (2 places)
(2) Rear corner sensors (2 places)
Working sensors
The sensors that work depends on the
position of the gearshift lever as follows:
WARNING
• The parking sensor warns you of
obstacles with buzzers However,
you must still pay full attention
yourself while driving.
• The sensors can detect obstacles
only within a limited area and only
when the vehicle is moving within a
limited speed range. So, in tricky
areas, you must move the vehicle
slowly while checking around it
using your direct vision or rearview
mirrors. There is increased risk of an
accident if you control the vehicle
relying only on the parking sensor.
NOTICE
Parking sensors are only for driver's
assistance.
NOTICE
• Avoid hitting the sensor areas or
directing the nozzle of a high-pres-
sure car washer onto the sensor
areas. Otherwise, the sensors may
be damaged.
• If the bumper hits a hard object, the
sensors on it may not work prop-
erly. If this occurs, have the sen-
sors inspected by an authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
