Clutch Pedal (1)
A clutch pedal is used to disengage the
driving force to the wheels when starting
the engine, stopping, or shifting the gear-
shift lever. Depressing the pedal disen-
gages the clutch.
Brake Pedal (2)
Your vehicle is equipped with front disc
brakes and rear drum brakes. Depressing
the brake pedal applies both sets of
brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal
when you apply the brakes. This is a nor-
mal condition caused by environmental
factors such as temperature, humidity or
dust, etc.
Accelerator Pedal (3)
An accelerator pedal controls the speed of
the engine. Depressing the accelerator
pedal increases power output and speed.

EXAMPLE
WARNING
If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are
applied, you should have the brakes
checked by a Maruti Suzuki autho-
rised workshop.

Do not apply brakes continuously or
rest your foot on the brake pedal.
This will result in overheating of the
brakes which could cause unpredict-
able braking action, longer stopping
distances, or permanent brake dam-
age.
WARNING
Make sure that the parking brake is
set fully and the transmission is in
Neutral before attempting to start the
engine.
