OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
On models equipped with the ENG A-
STOP system, the hill hold control system
is activated when the engine is restarted
after being stopped automatically, even if
the previous conditions are not met.
NOTE:
When the hill hold control system is acti-
vated, you may hear a sound coming from
the engine, or you may feel hardness of
the brake pedal. These are normal and do
not indicate a malfunction.
For the instrument cluster with tachometer,
if the message shown in the above illustra-
tion appears on the information display,
there may be a problem with the hill
descent control system (if equipped) and
the hill hold control system. Have your
vehicle
inspected
by
an
authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
The hill hold control system will not acti-
vate while this message is displayed.

Tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) (if equipped)
The tire pressure monitoring system is
designed to alert you when one or more of
the tires on your vehicle is significantly
under-inflated. The tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS) sensor containing a
unique identification code is mounted on
each wheel. The TPMS sensors transmit
tire pressure signals to the receiver of the
tire pressure monitoring system controller.
When the inflation pressure of one or more
tires indicates significant under-inflation,
the low tire pressure warning light shown
below comes on.
NOTE:
The word "telltale" in this section, means
an indicator.

Low tire pressure warning light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
