Tyre pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) (if equipped)

The tyre pressure monitoring system is

designed to alert you when one or more of

the tyres on your vehicle is significantly

under-inflated. The tyre pressure monitor-

ing system (TPMS) senso_r containing a

unique identification code 1s mounted on

each wheel. The TPMS sensors transmit

tyre pressure signals to the receiver of the

tyre pressure monitoring system controller.

When the inflation pressure of one or more

tyres indicates significant under-inflation,

the low tyre pressure warning light shown

below comes on.

NOTE:

The word "telltale" in this section, means

an indicator.

Low tyre pressure warning light

(!)

52D305

Each tyre should be checked monthly

when cold and infiated to the infiation pres-

sure recommended by the vehicle manu-

facturer on the vehicle placard or tyre

pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of

a different size than the size indicated on

the vehicle placard or tyre pressure label,

you should determine the proper tyre pres-

sure for those tyres.)

As an added fuel efficiency feature, your

vehicle has been equipped with a tyre

pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that

illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale

when one or more of your tyres is signifi-

cantly under-infiated.

Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure

telltale illuminates, you should stop and

check your tyres as soon as possible, and

infiate them to the proper pressure.

Driving on a significantly under-infiated

tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can

lead to tyre failure. Under-infiation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life,

and may affect the vehicle's handling and

stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-

tute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is

the driver's responsibility to maintain cor-

rect tyre pressure, even if under-infiation

has not reached the level to trigger illumi-

nation of the TPMS low tyre pressure tell-

tale.

A WARNING

Relying only on the tyre pressure

monitoring system to determine

when it is necessary to add air to the

tyres can result in loss of control or

an accident.

Check tyre pressures monthly when

the tyres are cold. If necessary,

adjust them to the recommended

inflation pressure as specified on the

vehicle's tyre information placard

and in this owner's manual. Refer to

"Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN-

TENANCE" section.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

A WARNING

Failure to take corrective action when

the low tyre pressure warning light is

not working or when it comes on and

blinks while driving can lead to an

accident.

If the low tyre pressure warning light

does not come on for 2 seconds after

the ignition switch is turned to "ON"

position, or comes on and blinks

while driving, have your vehicle

inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. Even if

the light turns off after blinking, indi-

cating that the monitoring system

has recovered, you should still have

the system checked by a SUZUKI

dealer.

3-64

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

A WARNING

The load-carrying capacity of your

tyres is reduced at lower inflation

pressures. If your tyres are even

moderately under-inflated, the load

on the tyres may exceed the load-car-

rying capacity of the tyres, which

could lead to tyre failure. The low tyre

pressure warning light will not alert

you to this condition, because it only

comes on when one or more of your

tyres becomes significantly under-

inflated.

Check and adjust your tyre pressure

at least once a month. Refer to

"Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN-

TENANCE" section.

3-65

A WARNING

Continuing to drive with the low tyre

pressure warning light on can lead to

an accident, resulting in severe injury

or death.

If the low tyre 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 tyre can

cause the tyre to overheat and can

lead to tyre failure, and may affect

steering control and brake effective-

ness. Stop in a safe place as soon as

possible and check your tyres.

If you have a flat tyre, replace it

with the spare tyre (if equipped).

Refer to "Jacking instructions" in

"EMERGENCY SERVICE" section

for the tyre replacement method.

Also refer to "Replacing tyres and/

or wheels" for instructions on how

to restore normal operation of the

TPMS after you have had a flat tyre.

• If one or more of your tyres is

under-inflated, adjust the inflation

pressure in all of your tyres to the

recommended inflation pressure as

soon as possible.

The low tyre pressure warning light can

come on due to normal causes such as

natural air leakage and pressure changes

caused by changes in temperature or

atmospheric pressure. Adjusting the air

pressure in the tyres to the pressure

shown on the tyre information placard

should cause the low tyre pressure warn-

ing light to turn off.

To make the low tyre pressure warning

light go off, adjust the tyre pressures when

the tyres are cold, and drive the vehicle for

about 10 minutes.

When the adjusted tyre pressure is recog-

nized, the low tyre pressure warning light

will go off and the information display

shows the current tyre pressure (if you

select the TPMS monitor (if equipped)).

NOTICE

If the low tyre pressure warning light

does not go off even when you drive

for more than 10 minutes after adjust-

ing the cold tyre pressure, there may

be a problem with the TPMS. Have

your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI

dealer.

If the light turns on again shortly after

adjusting the pressure in your tyres. you

may have a flat tyre. If you have a flat tyre,

replace it with the spare tyre (if equipped).

Refer to "Jacking instructions" in "EMER-

GENCY SERVICE"" section. Refer to

"Replacing tyres and/or wheels" for instruc-

tions on how to restore normal operation of

the tyre pressure monitoring system after

you have had a flat tyre.

NOTE:

For a certain type of instrument cluster

only, the information display shows the

above warning and indicator message

when this light comes on.

When the tyre pressure is adjusted in

high altitude areas, the low tyre pressure

light may not turn off even after tyre

pressure adjustment. In this case, adjust

the inflation pressure to a slightly higher

pressure than the one shown on the tyre

informaUon placard.

The low tyre pressure warning light may

turn off temporarily after coming on. This

could be due to increase of surface tem-

perature after long distance driving or

traveling to a high temperature area.

Even if the tyre pressure warning light

turns off after coming on, check the infla-

tion pressure of all tyres.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

To reduce the chance that the low tyre

pressure warning light will come on due

to normal changes in temperature and

atmospheric pressure, it is important to

check and adjust the tyre pressures

when the tyres are cold. If you check

tyres after driving, they are warm. Even

if the tyre pressure seems to be good in

this condition, it could fall below the

specified pressure when tyres cool

down. Also, if tyres are inflated to the

specified pressure in a warm garage, the

tyre pressure could fall below the speci-

fied one when you drive the vehicle out-

side in very cold temperature. If you

adjust the tyre pressure in a garage that

is warmer than the outside temperature,

you should add 1 kPa to the recom-

mended cold tyre pressure for every

O.B'C difference between garage tem-

perature and outside temperature.

3-66

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

TPMS malfunction indicator

Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-

bined with the low tyre pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale will flash for about 75 seconds

and then remain continuously illuminated.

This sequence will continue upon subse-

quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-

function exists.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is not

reset even after the engine is turned off; it

remains in the ON state until the normal

conditions are restored.

When the malfunction indicator is illumi-

nated, the system may not be able to

detect or signal low tyre pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur

for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate

tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent

the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction tell-

tale after replacing one or more tyres or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure the

replacement or alternation of tyres and

wheels to allow the TPMS to continue to

function properly.

3-67

NOTICE

The tyre pressure sensors can be

damaged if you do not take proper

precautions.

We highly recommend that you

have tyres repaired or replaced by

a SUZUKI dealer. The tyre pressure

sensors can be damaged by instal-

lation or removal of tyres.

• Do not use liquid sealants for a flat

tyre unless your vehicle is

equipped with a flat tyre repair kit

instead of a spare tyre.

NOTICE

If the low tyre pressure warning light

comes on frequently, there may be

something wrong with one or more of

the tyres, tyre pressure sensors or

the monitoring system.

If the low tyre pressure warning light

comes on frequently, have your vehi~

cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

corresponding tyre pressure indication

blinks to alert you which tyre(s) is(are)

low pressure.

The display may not show the tyre pres-

sure for about 10 minutes after the vehi-

cle begins to move. This is because the

TPMS system learns the tyre pressure

within this 10 minutes. The display will

show the tyre pressure after 10 minutes

pass.

If you stop the vehicle and turn the igni-

tion switch to "LOCK" position, and leave

it for 20 minutes or more, tyre pressure

wi/1 be reset and will be indicated as 0

kPa when the engine is restarted. In this

case, the current tyre pressure indication

will recover after driving for a while.

However, if any of tyre pressures has

been detected as low pressure before

stopping the engine, the tyre pressure

indication may not recover and may be

indicated as "---".

Replacing tyres and/or wheels

If you got a fiat tyre and replaced it with the

spare tyre, SUZUKI recommends that you

have a SUZUKI dealer mount a new tyre

on the wheel that had the fiat tyre. The

TPMS is already set up to recognize the ID

code of the original wheel, and normal

TPMS operation will be restored.

If you need to replace any wheels on your

vehicle, a SUZUKI dealer must check that

TPMS sensors are installed in the new

wheels and must set up the TPMS to rec-

ognize the new sensors.

NOTE:

A TPMS sensor is not installed in the spare

tyre. You should use the spare tyre only in

an emergency situation, and should

replace the spare tyre as soon as possible

to restore normal TPMS operation.

A WARNING

Use of tyres or wheels not recom-

mended by SUZUKI can result in fail-

ure of the TPMS.

When replacing tyres and wheels,

use only tyres and wheels recom-

mended by SUZUKI as standard or

optional equipment for your vehicle.

Refer to "tyres" in "INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE" section for addi-

tional information.
