BEFORE DRIVING
Warning and Indicator Lights
NOTE:
If warning and indicator lights blink or
come on, the corresponding messages
may be shown on the information display.
Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
(if equipped)
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that uses
a low tire pressure warning light to inform
you when one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
"ON", the light comes on briefly so you can
check that the light is working.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure as indicated
2-85
on the vehicle's tire information placard.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, including the spare,
should be checked at least once a month
when cold and set to the recommended
inflation pressure as specified in the vehi-
cle placard.
The low tire pressure warning light is also
used to inform you of a TPMS malfunction.
When the system detects a malfunction,
this light will blink for about 75 seconds
and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will be repeated after the
ignition switch is turned to the "ON" posi-
52D305
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to "ON" as long
as the malfunction exists.
NOTE:
The low tire pressure warning light may not
come on immediately if you have a sudden
loss of air pressure.
WARNING
Failure to take corrective action when
the low tire pressure warning light is
not working or when it comes on and
blinks while driving can lead to an
accident.
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not come on for 2 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode
to "ON", or comes on and blinks
while driving, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer. Even if the light turns off after
blinking, indicating that the monitor-
ing
system
has
recovered,
should still have the system checked
by your authorized SUZUKI dealer.
