OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
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 a 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 "EMER-
GENCY SERVICE" section. Refer to
"Replacing tires and/or wheels" for instruc-
tions on how to restore normal operation of
the tire pressure monitoring system after
you have had a flat tire.

NOTE:
• The information display shows the
above warning and indicator message
when this light comes on.
• When the tire inflation pressure is
adjusted in high altitude areas, the low
tire pressure warning light may not turn
off even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment. In this case, adjust the infla-
tion pressure to a slightly higher pres-
sure than the one shown on the tire
information placard.
• The low tire pressure warning light may
turn off temporarily after coming on. This
could be due to increase of surface tem-
perature after long distance driving or
traveling to a high temperature area.
Even if the low tire pressure warning
light turns off after coming on, check the
inflation pressure of all tires.
• To reduce the chance that the low tire
pressure warning light will come on due
to normal changes in temperature and
atmospheric pressure, it is important to
check and adjust the tire pressures
when the tires are cold. If you check tires
after driving, they are warm. Even if the
tire pressure seems to be good in this
condition, it could fall below the specified
pressure when tires cool down. Also, if
tires are inflated to the specified pres-
sure in a warm garage, the tire pressure
could fall below the specified one when
you drive the vehicle outside in very cold
temperature. If you adjust the tire pres-
53SB3040
sure in a garage that is warmer than the
outside temperature, you should add
1 kPa to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure for every 0.8°C differ-
ence between garage temperature and
outside temperature.
