Parking Brake Lever - Suzuki WagonR Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
• Never remove the ignition key
while the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel will lock and you
will not be able to steer the vehicle.
• Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle even if
only for 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. 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 igni-
tion systems or consult your MAR-
UTI SUZUKI dealer.
• Do not leave the ignition switch in
the "ON" position if the engine is
not running as the battery will dis-
charge.

WARNING
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life may
shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.
• If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by an autho-
rised MARUTI SUZUKI workshop.
WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully
before leaving your vehicle or it may
move, causing injury or damage.
When parking, check that the gear-
shift lever is in one of the following
positions;
– 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) for
manual transaxle vehicles.
– "D", "M" or "R" for Auto Gear
Shift vehicles. Also, check the
instrument cluster to make sure
that the transaxle is engaged in
"1" or "R" position.
Remember, even though
transaxle is in gear, you must set the
parking brake fully.
