Braking - Suzuki 2009 Grand Vitara Owner's Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
To reset the cruise control to a faster
speed, use either of the following proce-
dures:
• Hold in the "RES/ACC" switch (4). Vehi-
cle speed will steadily increase. When
you release the switch, the new speed
will be maintained.
• Accelerate to the desired speed using
the accelerator pedal and push the
"SET/COAST" switch (3). The new
speed will be maintained.
To Cancel
To cancel cruise control operation, use one
of the following procedures:
• Slightly depress the brake pedal or
clutch pedal, or push the "CANCEL"
switch (2). Cruise control operation will
be canceled until you reset a cruising
speed by pushing the "SET/COAST"
switch (3) or "RES/ACC" switch (4).
• Push the "ON/OFF" switch (1). Cruise
control operation will be canceled until
you turn on the system by pushing the
"ON/OFF" switch (1) again and reset a
cruising speed by pushing the "SET/
COAST" switch (3).
Cruise control operation will also be can-
celed any time the vehicle speed falls
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
3-27
To "Resume" a Previously Set
Speed
After canceling cruise control operation
without turning off the "ON/OFF" switch
(1), you can "resume" a previously set
speed, by holding the "RES/ACC" switch
(4) for about one second. When you
release the switch, the vehicle will acceler-
ate to and maintain the previously set
speed.
NOTE:
If the "ON/OFF" switch (1) is turned off, the
set speed in the memory is cleared and
you can not use the Resume feature. In
this case, reset your CRUISE speed.

Braking

The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be
approximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19
mph). Start to brake the vehicle when there
is plenty of distance between your vehicle
and the stopping point, and slow down
gradually.
