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.

Brake System Warning Light

65D477

Three different types of operations exist

depending on the vehicle’s specification.

1) The light comes on briefly when the

ignition switch is turned to the “ON”

position or the engine switch is pressed

to change the ignition mode to “ON”.

2) The light comes on when the parking

brake is engaged with the ignition

switch in the “ON” position or the igni-

tion mode “ON”.

3) The light comes on when under either

or both of above two conditions.

The light also comes on when the fluid in

the brake fluid reservoir falls below the

specified level.

The light should go out after starting the

engine and fully releasing the parking

brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid

reservoir is adequate.

The light also comes on together with the

ABS warning light when the rear brake

force control function (proportioning valve

function) of the ABS system fails.

If the brake system warning light comes on

while you are driving the vehicle, it may

mean that there is something wrong with

the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,

you should:

1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.

2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and

stopping on the shoulder of the road.

3) If you determine that it is safe, drive

cautiously at low speed to the nearest

dealer for repairs,

4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest

dealer for repairs.

NOTE:

Because the brake system is self-adjust-

ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake

pads become worn. Replenishing the

brake fluid reservoir is considered normal

periodic maintenance.

NOTE:

(Parking Brake Reminder Buzzer)

A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind

you to release the parking brake if you

start the vehicle without releasing the park-

ing brake. Make sure that the parking

brake is fully released and the brake sys-

tem warning light turns off.

WARNING

Remember that stopping distance

may be longer, you may have to push

harder on the pedal, and the pedal

may go down farther than normal.

WARNING

If any of the following conditions

occur, you should immediately ask

your authorised Maruti Suzuki work-

shop to inspect the brake system.

• If the brake system warning light

does not go out after the engine

has been started and the parking

brake has been fully released.

• If the brake system warning light

does not come on when the igni-

tion switch is turned to the “ON”

position or the engine switch is

pressed to change the ignition

mode to “ON”.

• If the brake system warning light

comes on at any time during vehi-

cle operation.

2-96

BEFORE DRIVING

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Warning Light

65D529

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.

If the light stays on, or comes on when

driving, there may be something wrong

with the ABS.

If this happens:

1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.

2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” or

change the ignition mode to “LOCK”

(OFF) by pressing the engine switch

and then start the engine again.

If the warning light comes on briefly then

turns off, the system is normal. If the warn-

ing light still stays on, the system will be

something wrong.

If the light and the brake system warning

light stay on, or come on simultaneously

when driving, your ABS system is

equipped with the rear brake force control

function (proportioning valve function) and

there may be something wrong with both

the rear brake force control function and

anti-lock function of the ABS system.

If one of these happens, have the system

inspected by your authorised Maruti

Suzuki workshop.

If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake

system will function as an ordinary brake

system that does not have this ABS sys-

tem.

For details of ABS system, refer to “Anti-

Lock Brake System (ABS)” in the “OPER-

ATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.

Oil Pressure Light

50G051

This light comes on when the ignition

switch is turned to the “ON” position or the

engine switch is pressed to change the

ignition mode to “ON”, and goes out when

the engine is started. The light will come

on and remain on if there is insufficient oil

pressure. If the light comes on when driv-

ing, pull off the road as soon as you can

and stop the engine.

Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.

If there is enough oil, the lubrication sys-

tem should be inspected by your autho-

rised Maruti Suzuki workshop before you

drive the vehicle again.

NOTICE

• If you operate the engine with this

light on, severe engine damage can

result.

• Do not rely on the oil pressure light

to indicate the need to add oil. Be
