WARNING
• 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
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.
NOTE:
• If there is a problem with the hill hold
®
control system, the ESP warning light
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 authorized 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.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Activation conditions for the hill hold
control system
The hill hold control system activates to
prevent the vehicle from rolling downward
for about 2 seconds if your foot is moved
from the brake pedal when the following
conditions are all met.
• The gearshift lever is in the forward gear
or reverse position.
• The parking brake is released.
• The vehicle is on an upward slope.
• The brake pedal is depressed firmly.
For the vehicles with ENG A-STOP system
(if equipped), the hill hold control system is
activated when the engine is restarted
after being stopped automatically, even if
the previous conditions are not met.
NOTE:
When the hill hold control system is acti-
vated, you may hear a sound coming from
the engine, or you may feel hardness of
the brake pedal. These are normal and do
not indicate a malfunction.
