OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE 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 you press the engine switch 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 when parallel-parking the vehicle, steering the vehicle into the garage or moving slowly in a place with obstacles. Sensor Locations On rear bumper Approximate Areas Where Obstacles Can Be Detected WARNING • The parking sensor warns you of obstacles with buzzers and by showing you the location of the obstacles on the information display. However, you must still pay full attention yourself while driving. • 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 vehicle relying only on the parking sensor.

If this occurs, have the sensors inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. • 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. 3-24
