The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres-
sure changes caused by temperature. In
this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light
(after a few minutes).
■
When a tire is replaced with a com-
pact spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire
pressure warning light will not turn off
even though the flat tire has been
replaced with the spare tire. Replace the
spare tire with the standard tire and
adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire
pressure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.

WARNING
■
If a warning light comes on or a
warning buzzer sounds when a
warning message is shown on
the multi-information display
*
Check and follow the message shown
on the multi-information display.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
*
: Warning lights illuminate in red or
yellow and the warning buzzer
beeps once or sounds continuously.
■
When the electric power steer-
ing system warning light comes
on
When the light comes on yellow, the
assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes on
red, the assist to the power steering is
lost and handling operations of the
steering wheel become extremely
heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier
than usual when operating, hold firmly
and operate using more force than
usual.
■
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions. Failure to do so could cause
a loss of vehicle control and result in
death or serious injury.
●
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.
● If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If a tire is flat, change it with
the spare tire and have the flat tire
repaired by the nearest SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop.
●
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires deterio-
rate, you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■ If a blowout or sudden air leak-
age should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
