engine revolution. Changing to a higher gear position is recom-

mended.

• In this case, shifting up to 4th gear position is recommended.

Currently selected gear position is indicated.

• In this case, your vehicle is running in 3rd gear position.

Higher gear position is selected for the vehicle speed and/or

engine revolution. Changing to a lower gear position is recom-

mended.

• In this case, shifting down to 4th gear position is recom-

mended.

Parking Sensors

(if equipped)

Information display symbol

(if equipped)

68PH02301

(1) Symbol representing an obstacle

detected by parking sensor*

* This symbol shows that an obstacle

is located on the right rear of vehi-

cle.

• The parking sensor system uses ultra-

sonic sensors to detect obstacles near

the rear bumper. If obstacles are sensed

while you are parking or moving the

vehicle slowly, the system warns you by

sounding a buzzer and displaying sym-

bols representing the obstacles on the

information display in the instrument

cluster (if equipped).

(

)

EXAMPLE

3-21

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

• The system emits an ultrasonic wave

and the relevant sensor detects the

return of the wave reflected by an obsta-

cle. The system measures the time

taken by the ultrasonic wave to reach the

obstacle and return from it, from which it

determines the obstacle’s position.

• The parking sensor function can be used

when the ignition switch is turned to the

“ON” or the engine switch is pressed to

change the ignition mode to “ON”, the

gearshift lever is in the “R” position and

the parking sensor switch is in the “ON”

position. This function is helpful in the

following cases: pulling over to the curb;

parallel-parking the vehicle; steering the

vehicle into a garage; driving along an

alley; and moving slowly in a place with

obstacles.

Sensor Locations

68PH00320

(1) Rear center sensors (2 places)

(2) Rear corner sensors (2 places)

WARNING

• The parking sensor warns you of

obstacles with buzzers and by

showing you the location of the

obstacles on the information dis-

play (if equipped). However, you

must still pay full attention yourself

while driving.

(Continued)

WARNING

(Continued)

• The sensors can detect obstacles

only within a limited area and only

when the vehicle is moving within a

limited speed range. So, in tricky

areas, you must move the vehicle

slowly while checking around it

using your direct vision or rearview

mirrors. There is increased risk of

an accident if you control the vehi-

cle relying only on the parking sen-

sor.

(1)(1) (2)(2)

EXAMPLE

NOTICE

• Avoid hitting the sensor areas or

directing the nozzle of a high-pres-

sure car washer onto the sensor

areas. Otherwise, the sensors may

be damaged.

• If the bumper hits a hard object, the

sensors on it may not work prop-

erly. If this occurs, have the sen-

sors inspected by an authorised

Maruti Suzuki workshop.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Working sensors

The sensors that work depends on the position of the gearshift lever as follows:

Gearshift lever position

Manual transaxle CVT

R N, 1st – 5th R N, D or L

Rear sensors

Center On Off On Off

Corner On Off On Off

Approximate areas where obstacles can

be detected

68PH00321

• An obstacle within about 20 cm (8 in)

from a sensor or just below a sensor is

not detectable.

• The sensors can detect an obstacle up

to about 1.5 m (5 ft) from the rear of

vehicle.

EXAMPLE

3-23

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

• Thin poles or obstacles lower than the

sensors may become undetectable as

the vehicle moves closer to them even if

they have been detected from longer

distances.

• The system may calculate the distance

to a road sign or similar obstacle to be

shorter than the actual distance.

How to Use the Parking Sensor

(1) Parking sensor switch

(2) Indicator

WARNING

• Under the following conditions, the

parking sensor system may not

work normally because the sensors

cannot detect obstacles correctly.

– Sensors are covered with mud,

ice or other materials. (Such

materials must be removed for

normal operation.)

– Sensors are wet from water

splashes or heavy rain.

– Sensors are covered by a hand,

sticker, accessory, etc.

– There is an accessory or other

object attached within the sen-

sor’s sensing area.

– Items such as tow hooks, com-

mercially available corner poles,

radio antenna, etc. are installed

on the bumper.

– The height of the bumper is

changed due to alteration to the

suspension or other causes.

– The sensor areas are extremely

hot from direct sunlight or cold

due to freezing weather.

– The vehicle is on a rough sur-

face, slope, gravel road or grass

field.

– The vehicle is at a steep angle.

(Continued)

WARNING

(Continued)

– Sensors have intercepted ultra-

sonic noise from another vehi-

cle’s horn, engine, air braking

system (large vehicles), or park-

ing sensor.

– Obstacles are too close to the

sensors.

– Sensors are at an angle to a

highly reflective object such as

glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not

reflected back from the obstacle.)

• Sensors may not be able to cor-

rectly detect the following types of

obstacles:

– Objects made of a thin material

like wire netting and ropes

– Square-shaped curbstones or

other objects with sharp edges

– Tall objects with a large upper

part like a road sign

– Low-profile objects such as curb-

stones

– Sound-absorbing objects such

as cotton and snow

Rearview Camera

(if equipped)

When the gearshift lever is shifted to the

“R” position while the ignition mode is

“ON”, the rearview camera system auto-

matically shows the view behind the vehi-

cle on the display.

WARNING

The distance viewed in the rearview

camera may differ from the actual

distance according to the condition

of road or the load the vehicle is car-

rying. Since the camera display area

is also limited, backing up by only

looking at the display may cause an

accident or a collision with an object.

The rearview camera cannot replace

the driver’s attention. The driver

alone is responsible for parking and

similar driving maneuvers.

• Use the rearview camera only to

provide driving assistance.

• Always drive carefully confirming

the safety of the rear and the sur-

rounding conditions by looking

directly with your eyes and using

the rear view mirror.

• Make sure that the tailgate is

securely closed when backing up.
