NOTICE
• If the gearshift lever cannot shift
into any position, or the gear is
changed to "N" position automati-
cally when the vehicle speed
becomes less than 10 km/h, there
may be a systematic malfunction.
In this case, ask a Maruti Suzuki
authorized workshop to inspect the
Auto Gear Shift system as soon as
possible.
• The manual (M) mode does not
upshift even if the engine speed
reaches the rev-limit.
• The system will not allow shifting
up or down to a gear that would
cause engine over-revving
under-revving.
• If frequently driving at low speed
using a high gear position, the life
cycle of the clutch may be reduced.
• Frequent downshifting (more than
3 positions consecutively) causes
the reduction of transmission life.
Starting off:
1) Start the engine as instructed in "Start-
ing the engine" in this section.
2) With your foot on the brake pedal, shift
the gearshift lever to the "M" position.
When the gearshift lever is shifted to
the "M" position, the gear will be shifted
to 1st. Before starting off, always make
sure that the intended gear is engaged
by checking the gear position indicator,
then depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE:
• If 1st gear cannot be engaged even
though the gearshift lever has been
shifted from the "N" to the "M" position,
the system will re-try shifting automati-
cally.This will take some time, noise may
or
be heard from the gears, and shifting
gear shock may occur. However, they do
not indicate malfunction.
• The "N" indicator will flash, the depress
brake pedal indicator will come on and a
warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound if any of the following cases
occur;
– If you shift the gearshift lever from the
"N" to the "M" position
depressing the brake pedal.
– If the system is unable to re-try shift-
ing.
You should depress the brake pedal and
shift the gearshift lever to "N" position, then
shift to "M" position again a few seconds
later.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
3) Release the parking brake and brake
pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
WARNING
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. These operations prevent
the vehicle from starting due to unin-
tended activation of the creeping
function.
NOTICE
Do not operate the
described below. The life cycle of the
clutch may be reduced.
• Using the accelerator pedal to hold
the vehicle on an uphill slope oper-
ation with the gearshift lever in the
"M" or "D" position. On a downhill
slope,operation with gearshift lever
in "R" position.If you perform this
operation for a certain period of
time, a warning buzzer will sound.
• Shifting the gearshift lever to the
"M", "D" or "R" position while rac-
without
ing the engine.
• Driving at low speed using a high
gear.
• Stopping on a slope using the
creeping function. If you perform
this operation for a certain period
of time, a warning buzzer will
sound.
