OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

80J21-03E

Clutch Pedal (1)

(For manual transaxle)
The clutch pedal is used to disengage the
drive to the wheels when starting the
engine, stopping or shifting the gearshift
lever. Depressing the pedal disengages
the clutch.

Brake Pedal (2)

Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with
either front and rear disc brakes or front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Depressing the 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 cold, wet, snow, etc.

Accelerator Pedal (3)

This pedal controls the speed of the
engine. Depressing the accelerator pedal
increases power output and speed.

CAUTION

Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear or clutch dam-
age.

WARNING

If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are
applied, you should have the brakes
checked by your SUZUKI dealer.

WARNING

Do not “ride” the brakes by applying
them continuously or resting your
foot on the pedal. This will result in
overheating of the brakes which
could cause unpredictable braking
action, longer stopping distances or
permanent brake damage.
