Oil change reminder light
(if equipped)

Your vehicle has the oil life monitoring sys-
tem and related oil change reminder light
that alerts you to change the engine oil and
oil filter.
When this light comes on, change engine
oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine oil
and oil filter, refer to “Changing engine oil
and filter” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section.
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned “ON” so
you can check that light is working.
If either of odometer reading or time is
reached to the value which is set by the
system, this light comes on when the igni-
tion switch is in “ON” position. In addition,
the message is shown on the information
display to tell you it is necessary to change
the engine oil and oil filter. When the
engine oil and oil filter are changed and the
oil life monitoring system is reset, this light
will go out. For details of the maintenance
schedule, refer to “Periodic maintenance
schedule” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section.
Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the light must be reset to monitor
the next oil change timing properly. The
light will go out after the reset. For the
resetting procedure, refer to “Information
display” in this section.
NOTE:
• This light is used to facilitate the oil and
oil filter change according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
• Even though the oil is replaced before
this light comes on, reset of the oil life
monitoring system is necessary. Consult
a SUZUKI dealer about the reset
method. If you reset it by yourself, refer
to “Setting mode” in this section.
• Consult a SUZUKI dealer for changing
the setting of oil life monitoring system in
one of the following cases;
– If you replace ACEA Standards or
SUZUKI genuine engine oil by the
engine oil other than ACEA Standards
or SUZUKI genuine engine oil, or vice
versa
– By the change of your driving condi-
tion, if you need to apply the schedule
of “Maintenance recommended under
severe driving conditions” instead of
“Periodic maintenance schedule” in
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section, or vice versa
NOTICE
Severe engine damage will result, if
you keep operating the engine after
this light comes on.
