WARNING
• Do not go out of the vehicle when
the engine is stopped by the ENG
A-STOP system. If the driver's seat
belt is unfastened and the driver's
door is opened, the engine will
stall.
• When the engine does not restart
automatically even if you operate
vehicle properly, start the engine
using the ignition switch or engine
switch.
– In such situation, stopping on the
road may result in rear collision.
– In case the vehicle moves, the
steering and braking operation
will require more efforts, since
the engine is turned off.
NOTICE
Only use the vehicle battery type
(Exide Ecoserve DIN70) that has been
approved by MARUTI SUZUKi, other-
wise you would damage your vehicle,
and the ENG A-STOP system could

has to be replaced, consult your
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
