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.

NOTE:
For a certain type of instrument cluster
only, the information display shows the
above warning and indicator message
when this light comes on.
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.
