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.
On models equipped with the ENG A-
STOP system, the hill hold control system
is activated 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 authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop.
NOTE:
The hill hold control system will not acti-
vate while this message is displayed.
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 may result in an accident
depending on the degree of slope.
The engine may also stall and the
power assist for the steering and
brakes will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual which may result in an
accident or vehicle damage.
