The parking brake lever is located between the seats. To apply the parking brake, press the brake pedal and pull the parking brake lever fully up.

To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal, pull the lever up slightly, press the button on its end with your thumb, and lower the lever to its rest position.

In vehicles with an automatic transmission, always apply the parking brake before moving the gear selector to the "P" (Park) position. If you park on a slope and shift to "P" before applying the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift out of "P" later. When starting off, first move the selector out of "P", and only then release the parking brake.

WARNING
  • Never drive with the parking brake applied. The braking efficiency of the rear wheels may decrease due to overheating, brake service life will be reduced, and the brake system may be permanently damaged.
  • If the parking brake cannot hold the vehicle securely or does not release fully, have the vehicle inspected immediately by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.
WARNING Always fully apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle, otherwise the vehicle may move and cause an accident. When parking, make sure the manual transmission is in 1st or reverse gear, and the automatic transmission is in the "P" (Park) position. Remember that, regardless of whether the transmission is in gear or in the Park position, you must fully apply the parking brake.
