WARNING  
If any of the following conditions  
occur, you should immediately ask  
an authorized 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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
NOTE:  
If this happens:  
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.  
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.  
2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” posi-  
tion or change the ignition mode to  
LOCK (OFF) by pressing the engine  
switch and then start the engine again.  
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 an authorized SUZUKI dealer  
for repairs or tow the vehicle to the  
nearest an authorized SUZUKI dealer  
for repairs.  
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

not a malfunction of the steering system,  
but the power steering control system lim-  
its the power assist in order to prevent it  
from overheating.  
If this light blinks while driving, it means the  
engine is running hot. Avoid driving condi-  
tions that may lead to actual overheating. If  
the light stays on without blinking, then the  
engine is overheating. Follow the instruc-  
tions in “Engine trouble: Overheating” of

often.  
• The steering wheel is kept in a fully  
turned position for a long while.
