Clutch pedal (1)
A clutch pedal is used to disengage the
driving force to the wheels when starting
the engine, stopping, or shifting the gear-
shift lever. Depressing the pedal disen-
gages the clutch.
WARNING
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear, clutch dam-
age, or unexpected loss of engine
braking.

Brake pedal (2)
80J2121
Your vehicle is equipped with either front
and rear disc brakes or front disc brakes
and rear drum brakes. Depressing a 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 temperature, humidity or
dust, etc.
WARNING
If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are
applied, you should have the brakes
checked by an authorized SUZUKI
80J2122
dealer.
WARNING
Do not apply brakes continuously or
rest your foot on the brake pedal.
This will result in overheating of the
brakes which could cause unpredict-
able braking action, longer stopping
distances, or permanent brake dam-
age.
Accelerator pedal (3)
An accelerator pedal controls the speed of
the engine. Depressing the accelerator
pedal increases power output and speed.
