(1) (2)
(1) ABS warning light
(2) Brake system warning light
WARNING
• If the ABS warning light (1) on the
instrument panel comes on and
stays on while driving, there may
be a problem with the ABS system.
Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the ABS system immedi-
ately. If the ABS system becomes
inoperative, the brake system will
function as an ordinary brake sys-
tem that has no ABS.

WARNING
(Continued)
• If the ABS warning light (1) and the
Brake system warning light (2) on
the instrument panel simultane-
ously stays on or comes on when
driving, both anti-lock function and
52KM059
rear brake force control function
(proportioning valve function) of
the ABS system may have failed. If
so, the rear wheels may easily skid
or the vehicle can even spin in the
worst case when braking on a slip-
pery road or when hard braking
even on a dry paved road. Ask your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect
the ABS system immediately. Drive
carefully, avoiding hard braking as
much as possible.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
How the ABS Works
A computer continuously monitors wheel
speed. The computer compares
changes in wheel speed when braking. If
the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a
skidding situation, the computer
change braking pressure several times
each second to prevent the wheels from
locking. When you start your vehicle after a
stop you may hear a momentary motor
noise as the system checks itself.
WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if
tires or wheels other than those
specified in the owner's manual are
used. This is because the ABS works
by comparing changes in wheel
speed. When replacing tires
wheels, use only the size and type
specified in this owner's manual.
