The clutch pedal is used to disengage the
drive to the wheels when starting the
engine, stopping or shifting the gearshift
lever or transfer lever (if equipped).
Depressing the pedal disengages the
clutch.

the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear, clutch dam-

age, or unexpected loss of engine
braking.

Brake Pedal (2)
Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with front
and rear disc brakes. Depressing the brake
pedal applies both sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal
when you apply the brakes. This is a nor-
mal condition caused by environmental
factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc.
WARNING
If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are

applied, you should have the brakes
checked by your SUZUKI dealer.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
Do not "ride" the brakes by applying
them continuously or resting your
foot on the pedal. This will result in
overheating of the brakes which
could cause unpredictable braking
action, longer stopping distances or
permanent brake damage.
Accelerator Pedal (3)
This pedal controls the speed of the
engine. Depressing the accelerator pedal
increases power output and speed.
