OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING Always set the parking brake fully before leaving your vehicle or it may roll, causing injury or damage. When parking, make sure the gearshift lever for manual transaxle vehicles is in 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) and the gearshift lever for CVT vehicles is in "P" (Park). Remember, even though the transaxle is in gear or in Park, you must set the parking brake fully. Parking Brake Reminder Buzzer If you start the vehicle without releasing the parking brake, the interior buzzer warns you by repeated triple beeps. CVT Pedals Manual transaxle Clutch Pedal (1) (For manual transaxle) The clutch pedal is used to disengage the drive to the wheels when starting the engine, stopping or shifting the gearshift lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the clutch. EXAMPLE (1) (2) CAUTION (3) 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.

This is a normal condition caused by environmental factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc. (3) WARNING If brake squeal is excessive and occurs each time the brakes are applied, you should have the brakes checked by your SUZUKI dealer. 57L31029 3-11
