OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the low tire
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire can
cause the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop in a safe place as soon as
possible and check your tires.
• If you have a flat tire, replace it with
the spare tire (if equipped). Refer to
"Jacking
instructions"
in
"EMERGENCY SERVICE" section
for tire replacement. Also refer to
"Replacing tires and/or wheels" for
instructions on how to restore nor-
mal operation of the TPMS after
you have had a flat tire.

WARNING
(Continued)
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare
tire, refer to "Flat tire repair kit" in
the "EMERGENCY SERVICE" sec-
tion for instructions on how to per-
form an emergency repair of a flat
tire.
• If one or more of your tires is
under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure in all of your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure as
soon as possible.
The low tire pressure warning light can
come on due to normal causes such as
the
natural air leakage and pressure changes
caused by changes in temperature or
atmospheric pressure. Adjusting the air
pressure in the tires to the pressure shown
on the tire information placard should
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
turn off.
To make the low tire pressure warning light
go off, adjust the tire pressures when the
tires are cold, and drive the vehicle for
about 10 minutes.
When the adjusted tire pressure is recog-
nized, the low tire pressure warning light
will go off and the information display
shows the current tire pressure (if you
select the TPMS monitor).
NOTICE
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not go off even when you drive
for more than 10 minutes after adjust-
ing the cold tire pressure, there may
be a problem with the TPMS. Have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
If the light turns on again shortly after
adjusting the pressure in your tires, you
may have a flat tire. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with the spare tire (if equipped).
Refer to "Jacking instructions" in the
"EMERGENCY SERVICE" section. Refer
to "Replacing tires and/or wheels" for
instructions on how to restore normal oper-
ation of the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem after you have had a flat tire.
