FEATURES AND CONTROLS CAUTION If your front wheels won't turn, don't try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transmission. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transmission. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in position on a hill. Fuzzy Function Your automatic transmission will automatically select a adaptive shift pattern using fuzzy logic. • Economy mode is applied as often as possible. CAUTION The first few shifts may be somewhat rough on a new vehicle. This is normal condition and shift feel will improve soon because the automatic transmission control system performs adaptation functions. Emergency Operation If the automatic transmission experiences a malfunction, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) or the HOLD mode light may come on or may blink. In this situation, automatic shifting can be canceled or can default to a severe condition mode. You should consult your SUZUKI dealer and have the problem repaired as soon as possible when this condition occurs. Hold Mode You can select this mode to drive with some characteristics of a manual transmission. With the HOLD mode turned on, the automatic transmission will stay in a specific gear range.
