OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
79MH0-74E
The electronic control system monitors
driving condition (such as vehicle speed
and/or engine revolution), and it shows
which gear position is optimal for your driv-
ing with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow and the gear position
other than currently selected are indicated
on the display while driving, we recom-
mend you to shift up or down the gear to
indicated position. It is the optimal gear
position for a driving condition that reduces
the over revolution and stress to the
engine, and improves fuel consumption.
For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to “Using the Transaxle” in this sec-
tion.
NOTE:
• The gearshift indicator is not indicated
when the gear position is in “N” (Neu-
tral).
• If you depress the clutch pedal while UP/
DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication
will disappear.
• If you release your foot from the acceler-
ator pedal while UP arrow is indicated,
the indication will display the currently
selected gear position.
• The indication of gearshift indicator tim-
ing may differ depending on the vehicle
condition and/or driving situation even in
the same vehicle speed and engine rev-
olution.
SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle
by Suzuki) (if equipped)
SHVS has an Integrated Starter Generator
(ISG) instead of conventional generator to
get a better fuel consumption.
Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) is a gen-
erator which incorporated a motor function.
The ISG has the following 3 functions.
• Deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion
• Engine power assist function
• Starter motor function
Deceleration Energy Regenerating
Function
While decelerating your vehicle, the ISG
generates electricity without engine power.
This reduces engine loads and improves
fuel consumption.
While decelerating your vehicle, decelera-
tion energy regenerating function will be
activated when the following conditions are
satisfied.
• Gearshift lever is not in “N” (Neutral).
• Clutch pedal is not depressed.
NOTE:
The deceleration energy regenerating func-
tion may not work depending on vehicle
conditions.
WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to
indicate optimal gear position for
your driving, however, a driver will
not be relieved from the duty of care
of driving operation or gear change
with this indicator.
To drive safe, do not gaze the gear-
shift indicator, pay attention to your
driving situation and shift up or down
if necessary.
