Electric power steering light
When the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to "ON", this light
comes on. When the engine is started, the
light goes out.
If this light comes on while driving, the
power steering system may not work prop-
erly. Have the system inspected by your
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
The following steering wheel operations
may gradually take more effort while park-
ing or driving at a very low speed. This is
not a malfunction of the steering system,
but the power steering control system lim-
its the power assist in order to prevent it
from overheating.
• The steering wheel is operated very
often.
• The steering wheel is kept in a fully
turned position for a long while.
When the power steering control system
cools down, the power steering system will
return to its original condition.
However, repeating these operations could
cause damage to the power steering sys-
tem.
NOTE:
If the power steering system does not work
properly, it will require greater effort to
steer, but you still will be able to steer.
NOTE:
79J039
If the steering is operated, you may hear
noise caused by electric power steering
operation. This is normal and indicates that
the power steering system works properly.
BEFORE DRIVING
Engine coolant temperature light
(if equipped)
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, this light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working.
This indicator has two following functions.
Low engine coolant temperature light
(blue color)
This light stays on while the engine is still
cold and goes off when the engine has
warmed up.
If this light blinks, there is a problem with
the system. Have your vehicle inspected
by your SUZUKI dealer.
