depress the accelerator pedal while
starting the hybrid system under any
circumstances.

resulting in death or serious injury.

the vehicle is moving, do not lock or
open the doors until the vehicle
reaches a safe and complete stop.
Activation of the steering lock in this
circumstance may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious

NOTICE
■
When starting the hybrid system
If the hybrid system becomes difficult
to start, have your vehicle checked by
a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop immediately.

Symptoms indicating a malfunc-
tion with the power switch

Stopping the hybrid system
WARNING
■
Stopping the hybrid system in an
emergency
●
If you want to stop the hybrid sys-
tem in an emergency while driving
the vehicle, press and hold the
power switch for more than 2 sec-
onds, or press it briefly 3 times or
more in succession. (

P.500)
However, do not touch the power
switch while driving except in an
emergency. Turning the hybrid sys-
tem off while driving will not cause a
loss of steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost making
it difficult to steer smoothly before
stopping the vehicle depending on
the remaining charge in the 12-volt
battery or usage conditions. In this
situation, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.
●
If the power switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a warn-
ing message will be shown on the
multi-information display and a
buzzer sounds.
