Malfunction Indicator Light - Suzuki 2010 Kizashi Owner's Manual

Malfunction Indicator Light

Your vehicle has a computer-controlled
emission control system. A malfunction
indicator light is provided on the instrument
panel to indicate when it is necessary to
have the emission control system serviced.
The malfunction indicator light comes on
when you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to "ON" to let you
know the light is working and goes out
when the engine is started.
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
or blinks when the engine is running, ser-
vice to the emission control system is nec-
essary. Bring the vehicle to an authorized
SUZUKI dealer to have the emission con-
trol system serviced right away and avoid
hard acceleration until the service is per-
formed.
Also, if the light comes on, there may be
something wrong with the continuously
variable transaxle system. Have the sys-
tem inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
CAUTION
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
the malfunction indicator light is on
or blinking can cause permanent
damage to the vehicle's emission
control system, and can affect fuel
economy and driveability.

NOTE:
If the fuel filler cap is not installed fully, the
electrical system gets wet (such as by driv-
ing through a deep puddle of water) or the
fuel tank gets nearly empty, the malfunc-
tion indicator light may come on. If so, the
light will go off after driving a few times
after the fuel filler cap is installed fully, the
electrical system dries out or the fuel tank
is filled.
BEFORE DRIVING
Low Fuel Warning Light
If this light comes on, fill the fuel tank
immediately.
When this light comes on, a ding sounds
once to remind you to fill the fuel.
If you do not fill the fuel, a ding sounds
every time you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to "ON".
NOTE:
The activation point of this light varies
depending on road conditions (for exam-
ple, slope or curve) and driving conditions
because of fuel moving in the tank.
