Keys
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical
keys. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
One key can open all of the locks on the
vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on
the keys. Keep the tag (if equipped) in a
safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
Write the number below for your future ref-
erence.
Immobilizer system
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
or keyless push start system remote con-
troller, which has an electronic identifica-
tion code programmed into it. The key or
remote controller communicates the identi-
fication code to the vehicle when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to ON. If you need to make
spare keys or remote controllers, see your
SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be pro-
grammed with the correct identification
code for the spare. A key made by an ordi-
nary locksmith will not work.
80JM122
If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition
mode is ON, the engine will not start.
NOTE:
• If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks or comes on, a
message may be shown on the informa-
tion display.
• This immobilizer system is maintenance-
free.
For vehicles without a keyless push
start system
If this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” position, and then turn it back to
“ON” position.
If the light still blinks after the ignition
switch is turned back to “ON” position,
there may be something wrong with your
key or with the immobilizer system. Ask
your SUZUKI dealer to have the system
inspected.

NOTICE
Do not modify or remove the immobi-
lizer system. If modified or removed,
the system cannot be properly oper-
ated.

BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
For vehicles with a keyless push start
system
If this light blinks, change the ignition mode
to LOCK (OFF), and then change it back to
ON. Also refer to “If the master warning
indicator light blinks and the engine cannot
be started” in “Starting engine (vehicle with
keyless push start system)” in the “OPER-
ATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
If the light still blinks after the ignition mode
is changed back to ON, there may be
something wrong with your key or with the
immobilizer system. Ask your SUZUKI
dealer to have the system inspected.
The immobilizer/keyless push start system
warning light may also blinks if the remote
controller is not in the vehicle when you
close the door or attempt to start the
engine.
NOTE:
• If you lose your immobilizer ignition key
or remote controller, ask your SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible to deactivate
the lost one, and to make a new key or
remote controller.
• If you own other vehicles with immobi-
lizer keys, keep those keys away from
the ignition switch or the engine switch
when using your SUZUKI vehicle. Other-
wise, or the engine may not be started
because they may interfere with your
SUZUKI vehicle’s immobilizer system.
• If you attach any metal objects to the
immobilizer key or remote controller, it
may not start the engine.

than the keyless push start system remote
controller, the request switch, the keyless
entry system transmitter or engine hood
(for EU specification vehicle) will cause the
alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
–The key
– The lock knob on a door
– The power door locking switch
NOTE:
• The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
• Always use the keyless push start sys-
tem remote controller, the request switch
or the keyless entry system transmitter
to unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the
alarm.

dentally triggered, avoid arming it while
anyone remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door or engine hood (for
EU specification vehicle) by operating
the lock knob or power door locking
switch.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock knobs or the power door locking
switch from inside.
• If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the doors are automati-
cally locked again. After the doors are
locked, the theft deterrent alarm system
will be armed in about 20 seconds if the
system is in the enabled state.
How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry system
transmitter. The theft deterrent light will go
out, indicating that the theft deterrent alarm
system is disarmed.
How to stop the alarm

• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the theft deterrent alarm
system will be rearmed with a delay of
about 20 seconds.
• If you disconnect the lead-acid battery
while the theft deterrent alarm system is
in the armed condition or the alarm is
actually in operation, the alarm will be
triggered or re-triggered when the bat-
tery is then reconnected, although, in the
latter case, the alarm remains stopped
for the period between disconnection
and reconnection of the lead-acid bat-
tery.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door or
engine hood (for EU specification vehi-
cle) is opened without disarming the
theft deterrent alarm system.

Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either enabled or disabled.
When enabled (factory setting)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
hazard warning lights to flash for about 40
seconds if any of the alarm trigger condi-
tions is met. The system also causes the
interior buzzer to beep intermittently for
about 10 seconds, which is followed by
intermittent sounding of the horn for about
30 seconds.
The theft deterrent light continues to blink
during this time.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays dis-
armed even if you perform any system
arming operation.
How to switch the state of the theft
deterrent alarm system
(Except EU specification vehicle)
You can switch the theft deterrent alarm
system from the enabled state to the dis-
abled state, and vice versa, using the fol-
lowing method.

Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.

Avoid using the seat heater for these
occupants:
• People who have reduced feeling in
their legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
• Small children or anyone with sen-
sitive skin.
• People who are asleep or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
which make them tired.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heater ele-
ment:
• Do not subject the front seats to
heavy impacts, such as children
jumping on them.
• Do not cover the seat with any
insulating materials such as blan-
kets or cushions.
WARNING
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
check that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
WARNING
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.
WARNING
Do not place any object under the
rear seat equipped with the seat posi-
tion adjustment lever. If an object
becomes caught under the rear seat,
the seat will not be latched.

WARNING
Wear your seat belts at all times.
WARNING
An air bag supplements or adds to
the frontal crash protection offered
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by fastening seat belts at all times,
whether or not an air bag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
WARNING
Do not modify, remove, disassemble
seat belts. Doing so may prevent
them from functioning properly and
cause the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
WARNING
• Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
• Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than a snug belt.
• Check that each seat belt buckle is
inserted into the proper buckle
catch. It is possible to cross the
buckles in the rear seat.
(Continued)

WARNING
(Continued)
• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the illustration.
• Do not fasten your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
(Continued)
as low as possible
across the hips
WARNING
(Continued)
• Never use the same seat belt for
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
• Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
• Children aged 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
• Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased locally and
should be used. Check that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided
by the manufacturer.

Lap-shoulder belt
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, and
then pull the belt across your body more
slowly.
Safety reminder
60A038
60A040
To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a crash, position the lap portion of
the belt across your lap as low on your hips
as possible and adjust it to a snug fit by
pulling the shoulder portion of the belt
upward through the latch plate. The length
of the diagonal shoulder strap adjusts itself
to allow freedom of movement.
WARNING
(Continued)
• For child, if the seat belt irritates
the neck or face, use a child
restraint system appropriately for
the child. The seat belts of your
vehicle are principally designed for
persons of adult size.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
• Do not insert any items such as
coins and clips into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt
buckle, the seat belt may not work
properly.
• All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving,
or seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.

When the driver and/or passenger(s)
do(does) not buckle his or her seat belt,
the seat belt reminder light will come on or
blink and a buzzer will sound as a
reminder to the driver and/or passenger(s)
to buckle his or her seat belt. For more
details, refer to the explanation below.
NOTE:
The driver’s seat belt reminder light / front
passenger’s seat belt reminder light is for
both the driver and front passenger.
Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, the
reminder works as follows:
1) The seat belt reminder light will come
on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the seat belt reminder
light will blink and a buzzer will sound
for about 95 seconds.
3) The reminder light will remain on until
the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
(if equipped)
The front passenger’s seat belt reminder
will activate only when there is a passen-
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-
tions, however, such as when you place
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat
belt reminder can be activated as if a pas-
senger was present. The front passenger’s
seat belt reminder works in the same man-
ner as the driver’s seat belt reminder.
Rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
(if equipped)
If a rear seat belt is not fastened when the
engine is started, all the rear passenger’s
seat belt reminder lights will come on for
about 35 seconds and then go out.
Within this 35 seconds;
• For the instrument cluster with tachome-
ter, the corresponding reminder is high-
lighted. The reminder fades when the
seat belt is fastened.
• For the instrument cluster without
tachometer, the corresponding reminder
comes on with the frame. The reminder
goes off with leaving the frame when the
seat belt is fastened.
The rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
lights will also come on for about 35 sec-
onds in the following conditions.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the
vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will come on.
WARNING
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers fasten their
seat belts at all times. Persons who
are not fastening seat belts have a
much greater risk of injury if an acci-
dent occurs. Make a regular habit of
buckling your seat belt before putting
the key in the ignition or pressing the
engine switch.

SUZUKI highly recommends that you use
a child restraint system to restrain infants
and small children. Many different types of
child restraint systems are available; check
that the restraint system you select meets
applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in
rear seating positions than in front seating
positions.
(For Countries applied for UN Regula-
tion No.16)
When purchasing a child restraint and
install it to your SUZUKI vehicle, refer to
the information about suitability for child
restraints shown in “Child restraint system
for countries applied for UN Regulation
No.16” in this section.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.

EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
WARNING
(Vehicle without the front passenger
air bag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.

WARNING
(Vehicle with the front passenger air
bag deactivation system)
When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger’s seat, the
front passenger’s air bag system
must be deactivated; otherwise
deployment of the front passenger’s
air bag could result in the death or
serious injury of the child.
WARNING
If you install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, slide the front seat
far enough forward so that the child’s
feet do not touch the front seatback.
This will help avoid injury to the child
in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Children could be endangered in a
crash if their child restraint systems
are not properly secured in the vehi-
cle. When installing a child restraint
system, follow the instructions
below. Secure the child in the
restraint system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

tem on the front passenger’s seat, follow
instructions below.
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front
air bag by the front passenger air bag
deactivation system.
– Slide the seat to the most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.

Seat belt pretensioner system
63J269
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front or rear seating positions, check the
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
Read this section and “Supplemental
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn
more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the supplemental restraint system (air
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-
tronic controller of the air bag system also
control the seat belt pretensioners. The
pretensioners are triggered only when
there is a frontal or side crash severe
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat
belts are fastened. For precautions and
general information including servicing the
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-
tem” section, and follow all those precau-
tions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor and both side of the rear
seat belt retractor (if equipped). The pre-
tensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt
fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the
event of a frontal or side crash. The retrac-
tors will remain locked after the pretension-
ers are activated. Upon activation, some
noise will occur and some smoke may be
released. These conditions are not harmful
and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by fastening seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to “Seat adjustment” section
and the instructions and precautions about
the seat belts in this “Seat belts and child
restraint systems” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe
frontal or side crashes. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The
pretensioners can be activated only once.
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster
does not blink or come on briefly when the
ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change the

systems inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer who is specially trained. Improper
service could result in unintended activa-
tion of pretensioners or could render the
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in personal
injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, check that the
lead-acid battery is disconnected and the
ignition switch has been in “LOCK” position
or the ignition mode has been LOCK
(OFF) for at least 90 seconds before per-
forming any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
SUZUKI vehicle, ask your SUZUKI dealer,
body repair shop, or scrap yard for assis-
tance.

Side air bags and side curtain air
bags (if equipped)
68KM090
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in severe side impact
crashes when the ignition switch is in “ON”
position or the ignition mode is ON.
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
not designed to inflate in frontal or rear
crashes, rollovers or minor side crashes,
since they would offer no protection in
those types of accidents. Only the side air
bag and side curtain air bag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How-
ever, in a frontal angle crash, the side air
bags and side curtain air bags may inflate.
Since an air bag deploys only one time
during an accident, seat belts are needed
to restrain occupants from further move-
ments during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag is not a substitute for
seat belts. To maximize your protection,
always fasten your seat belts. Be aware
that no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may occur in an accident.
Side air bags (if equipped)

How the system works
In a frontal crash, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. If your
vehicle is equipped with side air bags and
side curtain air bags, crash sensors will
detect a side crash, and if the controller
judges that the side crash is severe
enough, it will trigger the side air bag and
side curtain air bag inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate air bags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated air bags
provide a cushion for your head (front air
bags and side curtain air bags only) and
upper body. The air bag inflates and
deflates so quickly that you may not even
realize that it has activated. The air bag will
neither hinder your view nor make it harder
to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag.
Wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent skin irritation. Also, upon infla-
tion, a loud noise will occur and some pow-
der and smoke will be released. These
conditions are not harmful and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, how-
ever, that some air bag components may
be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” sec-
tion and “Seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems” section in this section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

Even though your vehicle is moderately
damaged by a crash, it may not be severe
enough to trigger front, side or side curtain
air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains
any front-end or side damage, have the air
bag system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer to ensure that it works
properly.
WARNING
• The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air
bags and side curtain air bag,
occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door. In these sit-
uations, the out-of-position occu-
pant would be too close to an
inflating air bag, and may suffer
severe injury.
• Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Also, these objects may
move when you start moving vehi-
cle or while vehicle is moving, they
may interfere with driver’s view or
safe driving. In each conditions
may cause severe injury.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
• For vehicles with side air bags, do
not use non-genuine seat covers on
the front seats, because non-genu-
ine seat covers may obstruct the
inflation of side air bags. SUZUKI
highly recommends SUZUKI-genu-
ine seat covers to be used when
covering the front seats of such
vehicles with side air bags. Also,
near the door, do not place cup
holders, hangers or any other
objects and do not lean an umbrella,
as these objects could be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
• Do not strike or apply significant
levels of impact to the air bag com-
ponent areas. It can cause the air
bags to malfunction.
2-65
BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, and which
sensors activated the deployment.
Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags
and related components replaced by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, ask your SUZUKI dealer to check
the air bag system as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that rea-
son, only an authorized SUZUKI dealer
should be allowed to service or replace
your air bags. Remind anyone who ser-
vices your SUZUKI vehicle that it has air
bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended air bag
deployment or could render the air bag
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, check that the lead-
acid battery is disconnected and the igni-
tion switch has been in “LOCK” position or
the ignition mode has been LOCK (OFF)
for at least 90 seconds before performing
any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch air bag sys-
tem components or wires. The wires are
wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing,
and the couplers are yellow for easy identi-
fication.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.

amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F” stands
for full and “E” stands for empty.
• If the indicator shows only one segment
to “E”, refill the tank as soon as possible.
If the last segment blinks, it means that
the fuel is almost empty.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.
Refer to “Low fuel warning light” in “Warn-
ing and indicator lights” in this section for
details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the vehi-

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)
52D305
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low
tire pressure warning light to inform you
when one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, this 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
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 “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to ON as long as the mal-
function 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 “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 blink-
ing, indicating that the monitoring
system has recovered, you should
still have the system checked by your
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
2-102
BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Refer to “Tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-
CLE” section for additional details on the
tire pressure monitoring system. Refer to
“Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND MAIN-
TENANCE” section for information on
maintaining proper tire pressure.
WARNING
The load-carrying capacity of your
tires is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tires are even mod-
erately under-inflated, the load on the
tires may exceed the load-carrying
capacity of the tires, which could lead
to tire failure. The low tire pressure
warning light will not alert you to this
condition, because it only comes on
when one or more of your tires
becomes significantly under-inflated.
Check and adjust your tire inflation
pressure at least once a month. Refer
to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the low tire
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire can
cause the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and check your
tires.
• If you have a flat tire, replace it with
the spare tire (if equipped). Refer to
“Jacking instructions” in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section
for the tire replacement method.
Also refer to “Replacing tires and/
or wheels” for instructions on how
to restore normal operation of the
TPMS after you have had a flat tire.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare
tire, refer to “Flat tire repair kit (if
equipped)” in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section for instructions
on how to perform an emergency
repair of a flat tire.
• If one or more of your tires is
under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure of all tires to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as soon
as possible.

BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Brake system warning light
82K170
Three different types of operations exist
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
• The light comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change
the ignition mode to ON.
• The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition switch
in “ON” position or the ignition mode is
ON.
• The light comes on 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:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping the vehicle on the shoulder of
the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive the
vehicle cautiously at low speed to the
nearest dealer for repairs or tow the
vehicle 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. Check that the parking brake is
fully released and the brake system warn-
ing 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 SUZUKI dealer 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 “ON” posi-
tion 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.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warn-
ing light
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working.
If the light stays on or comes on when driv-
ing, 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 and
then turns off, the system is normal. If the
warning light still stays on, something is
wrong with the system.
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
the anti-lock function of the ABS system.
If one of the above occurs, have the sys-
tem inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake
system will function as an ordinary brake
system that does not have this ABS sys-
tem.

lowing precautions:
• Do not continue to hold in the lever

washer fluid being sprayed or the
washer motor can be damaged.
• Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windshield with the wipers or
you can damage the windshield
and the wiper blades. Always wet
the windshield with washer fluid
before operating the wipers.
• Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the wip-
ers.
• Check the washer fluid level regu-
larly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
• Fill a reservoir 3/4 full with washer
fluid to for its expansion, if tem-
perature falls low enough to freeze
the fluid.
