Get OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE -> SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) (if equipped) Guide for Suzuki Swift 4 Door First generation (2004-2009)

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

While decelerating your vehicle, the ISG gener-

ates electricity without engine power. This reduces

engine loads and improves fuel consumption.

While the vehicle is running, ISG assists

engine power as a motor in the following

limited condition. This reduces engine

loads and improves fuel consumption.

SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle

by Suzuki) (if equipped)

While decelerating your vehicle, deceleration

energy regenerating function will be activated

when the following conditions are satisfied.

• Gearshift lever is not in “N” (Neutral).

• Clutch pedal is not depressed.

• Engine speed is more than 950 rpm.

• Inside temperature of lead-acid battery

is in normal condition.

SHVS has an Integrated Starter Generator

(ISG) instead of conventional generator to

get a better fuel consumption.

While the vehicle is running with the

engine speed at approximately 3900 rpm

or less, engine power assist function will

be activated when all of the following con-

ditions are satisfied.

Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) is a gen-

erator which incorporates a motor function.

• SHVS system and ENG A-STOP system

are working properly. (“ENG A-STOP

OFF” indicator light is not blinking.)

• Clutch pedal is not depressed.

The ISG has the following 3 functions.

• Deceleration energy regenerating func-

tion

• Engine power assist function

• Starter motor function

• Lithium-ion battery is not fully charged and

inside temperature is in normal condition.

• ESP is not activated.

• Accelerator

temperature is in normal condition.

• Engine coolant temperature is in normal

condition.

• ISG inside temperature is in normal con-

dition.

Lithium-ion battery indication

EXAMPLE

“ENG A-STOP OFF” indicator

EXAMPLE

(1)

52RM30460

The segments in the lithium-ion battery

indicator (1) give an approximate indication

of the charge of the lithium-ion battery. The

number of segments that appear in the

indication increases or decreases with the

charge of the lithium-ion battery.

If this indicator blinks when driving, there

may be something wrong with the ENG A-

STOP system or the SHVS system. You

should have the system inspected by an

authorized SUZUKI dealer.

52RM30440

After the engine auto stop by the ENG

A-STOP system, the engine will be

restarted using a cranking power of the

ISG.

NOTE:

The indicator gives an approximate indica-

tion. The indication may be delayed or dif-

fer from the actual charge of the lithium-ion

battery under certain conditions, for exam-

ple, when the outside temperature is low.

Also, the minimum segment is 1 bar and

the bar will never be 0. Even when 1 bar is

shown, the battery level may be close to

be flat.

The starting with the ISG is quiet com-

pared with starting by the conventional

starter motor.

NOTE:

When you restart the engine by pushing

the engine switch, the conventional starter

motor is used and you will hear a gear

engagement sound.
