PARKING BRAKE LEVER

• Never drive your vehicle with the

parking brake on: rear brake

effectiveness can be reduced from

over heating, brake life may be

shortened, or permanent brake

damage may result.

• If the parking brake does not hold

the vehicle securely or does not

fully release, have your vehicle

inspected immediately by an

authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

Always apply the parking brake fully

before leaving your vehicle or it may

move, causing injury or damage.

When parking, make sure the gear

shift lever for manual transmission is

left in first gear or reverse. Remember,

even though the transmission is in

gear, you must always apply the

parking brake fully.

The parking brake lever is located between

the seats. To apply the parking brake, hold

the brake pedal down and pull the parking

brake lever all the way up.

To release the parking brake, hold the brake

pedal down, pull up slightly on the parking

brake lever, push the button on the end of

the lever with your thumb, and lower the

lever to its original position.

PEDALS

6-2

Clutch Pedal

The clutch pedal is used to disengage the

drive to the wheels when starting the

engine, stopping, or shifting the transmission

lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the

clutch.

Do not drive with your foot resting on

the clutch pedal. It could result in

excessive clutch wear, clutch damage,

or unexpected loss of engine braking.

Brake Pedal

Your MARUTI SUZUKI 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

normal condition caused by environmental

factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc.

If brake squeal is excessive and

occurs each time the brakes are

applied, you should have the brakes

checked by your MARUTI SUZUKI

dealer.

w WARNING

CAUTION

w WARNING

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

Do not “ride” the brakes by applying

them continuously or resting your foot

on the pedal. This will result in

overheating of the brakes which could

cause unpredictable braking action,

longer stopping distances, or

permanent brake damage.

Accelerator Pedal

This pedal controls the speed of the

engine. Depressing the accelerator pedal

increases power output and speed.
