WARNING
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life may be 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 authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.
WARNING
Always set the parking brake fully
before leaving your vehicle or it may
move, causing injury or damage. When
parking, make sure the gearshift lever
is in reverse or first gear. Remember,
even though the transaxle is in gear,
you must set the parking brake fully.
WARNING
When parking the vehicle in extremely
cold weather, the following procedure
should be used:
1) Set the parking brake.
2) Turn off the engine, then shift into
reverse or first gear.
3) Get out of the vehicle and put
chocks under the wheels. Release
the parking brake.
When you return to your vehicle, you
must remember to first set the parking
brake, then remove the wheel chocks.
Parking Brake Reminder Buzzer
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to release the parking brake if you start
the vehicle without releasing the parking
brake. Make sure that the parking brake is
fully released and the brake system warning
light turns off.
