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 either front
and rear disc brakes or front disc brakes
and rear drum brakes. Depressing a 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,
snow or dust, etc.
Auto Gear Shift - You may hear occasional
sound when you release brake pedal while
vehicle is in “D” (Drive) mode and about to
move. This is a normal phenomenon.
Accelerator Pedal (3)
An accelerator pedal controls the speed of
the engine. Depressing the accelerator
pedal increases power output and speed.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with Brake Over-
ride System. If you depress both the accel-
erator pedal and the brake pedal
simultaneously, the engine power output
may be suppressed.
Keyless Push Start System
(if equipped)
Provided the keyless push start system
remote controller is within the interior work-
able area, you can use the engine switch
for starting the engine and selecting an
ignition mode (ACC or ON). In addition, the
following functions can be used:
• Keyless entry function. Refer to “Keyless
Push Start System Remote Controller” in
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details.
• Locking and unlocking doors (including
the tailgate) using a request switch.
Refer to “Keyless Push Start System
Remote Controller” in “BEFORE DRIV-
ING” section for details.
• Immobilizer (anti-theft) function. Refer to
“Immobilizer System” in this section for
details.
WARNING
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear, clutch dam-
age, or unexpected loss of engine
braking.
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.
WARNING
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.
