WARNING

• Never return the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key while the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel will lock and you will not be able to steer the vehicle. (Continued)

WARNING

(Continued) • Always return the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle even if a short time. Also do not leave children alone in a parked vehicle. Unattended children could cause accidental movement of the vehicle or could tamper with power windows or power sunroof. They also could suffer from heat stroke in warm or hot weather. These could result in severe injury or even death.

CAUTION • Do not use the starter motor for more than 15 seconds at a time. For diesel engine model, do not use the starter motor for more than 30 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, check the fuel and ignition systems or consult your SUZUKI dealer. • Do not leave the ignition switch in the "ON" position if the engine is not running as the battery will discharge.

Lighting Operation

EXAMPLE 62J029

To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob on the end of the lever. There are three positions: in the "OFF" position all lights are off; in the middle position the front parking lights, taillights and license plate light are on, but the headlights and instrument lights are off; in the third position the headlights come on in addition to the other lights.

2-4

STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS Day time running light control (if equipped) When the engine is started, this system turns on all lights. But this control is canceled when the light control lever is turned to any position other than "OFF".

Rear Fog Light Switch (if equipped)

Lights "On" reminder (if equipped) A buzzer/chime sounds to remind you to turn off the lights if they are left on when the ignition key is removed and the driver's door is opened.

EXAMPLE 62J030

With the headlights on, push the lever forward to switch to the high beams (main beams) or pull the lever toward you to switch to the low beams. When the high beams (main beams) are on, a light on the instrument panel will come on. To momentarily activate the high beams (main beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever slightly toward you and release it when you have completed the signal.

2-5

EXAMPLE 62J031

To turn the rear fog light on, twist the knob as shown in the illustration with the head light switch in the third position. When the rear fog light is on, an indicator light on the instrument cluster will come on. Do not turn the rear fog light switch unless the head light switch is in the third position. NOTE: When the head light switch is returned to the "OFF" position, the rear fog light switch will be canceled automatically.

Move the lever all the way upward or downward to signal. When the turn is completed, the signal will cancel and the lever will return to its normal position.

Some times, such as when changing lanes, the steering wheel is not turned far enough to cancel the turn signal. For convenience, you can flash the turn signal by moving the lever part way and holding it there. The lever will return to its normal position when you release it.

HI 62J034

To turn the windshield wipers on, move the lever down to one of the three operating positions. In the "I NT" position· (if equipped), the wipers operate intermittently. The "I NT" position is very convenient for driving in mist or light rain. In the "LO" position, the wipers operate at a steady low speed. In the "HI" position, the wipers operate at a steady high speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever back to the "OFF" position. Move the lever up and hold it to the "MIST" position, the windshield wipers will turn on continuously at low speed.

WARNING

• To prevent windshield icing in cold weather, turn on the defroster to heat the windshield before and during windshield washer use. • Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer reservoir. It can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle's paint.

STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS CAUTION To help prevent damage to the windshield wiper and washer system components, you should take the following precautions: • Do not continue to hold in the lever when there is no windshield washer fluid being sprayed or the washer motor can be damaged. • Do not attempt to remove dirt from a dry windshield with the wipers or you can damage the windshield and the wiper blades. Always wet the windshield with washer fluid before operating the wipers. • Clear ice or packed snow from the wiper blades before using the wipers. • Check the washer fluid level regularly. Check it often when the weather is bad. • Only fill the washer fluid reservoir 3/4 full during cold weather to allow room for expansion if the temperature falls low enough to freeze the solution.

To Change Cruising Speed To reset the cruise control to a slower speed, hold in the "SET/COAST" switch (3) until the vehicle has slowed to the desired speed, then release the switch. The new speed will be maintained.

To cancel cruise control operation, use one of the following procedures:

To "Resume" a Previously Set Speed After canceling cruise control operation without turning off the "MAIN" switch (1), you can "resume" a previously set speed, by holding the "RES/ACC" switch (4) for about one second. When you release the switch, the vehicle will accelerate to and maintain the previously set speed. NOTE: If the "MAIN" switch (1) is turned off, the set speed in the memory is cleared and you can not use the Resume feature. In this case, reset your CRUISE speed.

• Slightly depress the brake pedal or clutch pedal, or push the "CANCEL" switch (2). Cruise control operation will be canceled until you reset a cruising speed by pushing the "SET/COAST" switch (3) or "RES/ACC" switch (4). • Push the "MAIN" switch (1). Cruise control operation will be canceled until you turn on the system by pushing the "MAIN" switch (1) again and reset a cruising speed by pushing the "SET/ COAST' switch (3).
