Starting the Engine

With your foot firmly on the brake pedal, press the START STOP button on the right hand side of the steering wheel. You will hear the engine turn over and the left-hand dial (rev counter) will start up.

Gear Shifter

With the engine on and foot still firmly on the brake, grasp the gear shifter and hold the button on the front while pulling the gearstick down to 'R' - reverse or 'D' - drive.

IMPORTANT: driving in 'L' will keep the vehicle in a low gear, and should only be used for certain driving conditions such as steep declines.

Handbrake

With your foot still on the brake, press the silver button on the top of the handbrake lever (found between the front seats) and release it fully down. Once parked after your journey, pull the lever back up firmly - you do not need to press the button.

Manoeuvring

The Suzuki Swift is equipped with a reversing camera. Most models are not equipped with parking sensors. Please take extra caution when manoeuvring.

What if the vehicle won't start?

If you encounter an error stating 'PLACE KEY FOB ON START SWITCH', try locking and re-unlocking the vehicle via the Mevo app to re-establish the connection between your phone and the vehicle.
