Gasoline Particulate Filter (Gpf) (For K14D Engine Model) - Suzuki SWIFT 2022 Series Owner's Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Returning ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF)
Automatic transmission or CVT – To
ensure safety, the ignition mode can be
returned to LOCK (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch only when the gearshift lever
is placed in "P" position without pressing
the knob button.
NOTE:
In the case of an automatic transmission or
CVT, the ignition mode cannot be returned
to LOCK (OFF) position if the gearshift
lever is in any other position than "P".
Certain problems such as a fault in engine
system may prevent the engine switch
from going back to LOCK (OFF) mode. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer after
doing the following:
• Lock the doors using the key to prevent
theft. (The request switches and the key-
less push start system remote controller
cannot be used to lock them.)
• Disconnect the negative cable from the
lead-acid battery to prevent discharge.

LOCK (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
If the driver's door is opened without
returning the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF)
by pressing the engine switch, a buzzer
sounds to warn you of this condition.
• If you open the driver's door after press-
ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to ACC, the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.
• The buzzer will stop sounding if you then
push the engine switch twice, thus bring-
ing it back the ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF).
NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, check
that you have returned the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF) using the engine switch and
then lock the doors. Without returning the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), you cannot
use a request switch or keyless push start
system remote controller to lock the doors.
Steering lock warning buzzer
If the steering lock fails to engage due to a
fault in the system when the ignition mode
is turned to LOCK (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and any door (including the
tailgate) is opened or closed, the interior
buzzer will warn you of this condition with
repeated short beeps. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
Gasoline particulate filter
(GPF) (for K14D engine
model)
The GPF filters off the soot particles in the
exhaust gas, so the GPF could get
clogged depending on the driving condi-
tion. The GPF is cleaned by the regenerat-
ing function that combusts the soot
particles in the GPF by raising the exhaust
gas temperature during driving or idling.
When a certain amount of soot particles is
accumulated in the GPF, the GPF will
regenerate automatically to avoid clogging
the filter. Therefore, you may hear a little
louder engine sounds and/or the exhaust
gas temperature could be higher due to
combustion of the soot particles.
CAUTION
Keep away from the exhaust pipe
when the engine is running. If the
GPF is regenerating, the exhaust gas
temperature could be higher.
