Warning and indicator lights

may be shown on the information display.
Low tyre pressure warning light
(if equipped)
52D305
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low
tyre pressure warning light to inform you
when one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”,
this light comes on briefly so you can
check that the light is working.
When the low tyre pressure warning light is
lit, one or more of your tyres is significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s tyre information placard.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. Each tyre, including the
spare, should be checked at least once a
month when cold and set to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as specified in
the vehicle placard.
The low tyre 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 “ON” as long as
the malfunction exists.
NOTE:
The low tyre 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 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 “ON”,
the light 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.
