OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Low tyre pressure warning light
Each tyre, 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 tyre pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tyres of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre pressure label, you should
determine the proper tyre pressure for
those tyres.)
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tyre
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tyre pressure warning
light when one or more of your tyres is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure
warning light illuminates, you should stop
and check your tyres as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life,
3-79
and may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is
the driver's responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tyre pressure
warning light.

WARNING
Relying only on the tyre pressure
monitoring
system
when it is necessary to add air to the
tyres can result in loss of control or
an accident.
Check tyre pressures monthly when
the tyres are cold. If necessary,
adjust them to the recommended
inflation pressure as specified on the
vehicle's tyre information placard
and in this owner's manual. Refer to
"Tyres" in the "INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE" section.
Failure to take corrective action when
the low tyre pressure warning light is
not working or when it comes on and
blinks while driving can lead to an
accident.
If the low tyre pressure warning light
does not come on for 2 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode
to
determine
to ON, or comes on and blinks while
driving, have your vehicle inspected
by a SUZUKI dealer. Even if the light
turns off after blinking, indicating
that the monitoring system has
recovered, you should still have the
system checked by your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
