WARNING
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life may
shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.
• If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by a Maruti
Suzuki authorized workshop.
• Always set the parking brake fully
before leaving your vehicle or it
may move, causing injury or dam-
age. When parking, check that the
gearshift lever is in one of the fol-
lowing positions:
– 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) for
manual transmission vehicles.
– "D", "M" or "R" for Auto Gear
Shift vehicles. Also, check the
instrument cluster to make sure
that the transmission is engaged
in "1" or "R" position.
Remember, even though the trans-
mission is in gear or in Park, you
must set the parking brake fully.
