BEFORE DRIVING
54P00-01E
• When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the value of driv-
ing range will be shown after driving for a
period of time.
Average Speed
If you selected average speed the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
the last value of average speed from previ-
ous driving when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”. Unless you reset the value
of average speed, the display indicates the
value of average speed which includes
average speed during previous driving.
To reset the value of average speed, push
and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for
about 2 seconds when the display indi-
cates an average speed. The display
shows “---” and then indicates a new aver-
age speed after driving for a short time.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of average
speed will be shown after driving for a
period of time.
Oil life (for diesel engine models)
The display indicates the remaining dis-
tance until the timing calculated for the
next engine oil and oil filter change. When
the remaining distance becomes 0 km, the
oil change request light in the instrument
cluster also starts blinking to alert that you
should change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately.
If you selected oil life the last time you
drove the vehicle, the display indicates “---”
for a few seconds and then indicates the
current distance until the next engine oil
change is due, when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”.
Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the oil life monitoring must be
reset in order to monitor the next oil and oil
filter change timing properly. To reset the
indicator, consult your SUZUKI dealer.
When the oil life monitoring is reset, the oil
life monitoring indicates 30000 km. If the
oil change request light was blinking, it will
go out.
NOTICE
Change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately when the remaining dis-
tance of the oil life monitoring indica-
tion becomes close to 0 km. If you
keep operating the engine with 0 km
indication of oil life monitoring,
severe engine damage can result.
