OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Hill Hold Control System
(if equipped)
The hill hold control system is designed to
assist you in starting to move up hills.
When you start to move up a hill, the sys-
tem helps to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing downward (for approximately
seconds) while you move your foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
• The hill hold control system is not
designed to stop the vehicle on a hill.
5-93
• Always check the surrounding con-
ditions and drive the vehicle in a
safe manner by depressing the
brake pedal as necessary, as con-
trolling the vehicle by the hill hold
2
control system has limits and the
system may not function properly
depending on the surrounding con-
ditions.
• If you do not depress the brake
pedal firmly enough, the hill hold
control system may not work.
• If you release your foot from the
brake pedal for more than 2 sec-
onds, the hill hold control system
will be canceled. If so, the vehicle
may roll downward, which can
result in an accident depending on
the degree of a slope. Also, the
engine may stall and the power
assist for the steering and brakes
will not work so steering and brak-
ing will be much harder than usual
which can result in an accident or

vehicle damage. After you release
your foot from the brake pedal,
accelerate the vehicle to move up
immediately.
WARNING
NOTE:
• If there is a problem with the hill hold
control system, the ESP
in the instrument cluster may come on
and the hill hold control system may not
work. Also, ENG A-STOP system (if
equipped) may not work. In this case,
consult a Maruti Suzuki authorised work-
shop.
• If you move up an excessively sharp
slope, a frozen road or a mud track, or
depending on laden weight, the vehicle
may roll downward when you start the
vehicle.
• If you move up an excessively sharp
slope, a frozen road or a mud track and
the hill hold control system activates, the
tyres may be locked and the vehicle may
not be controlled properly.
