2000 SUZUKI SWIFT fuel consumption

3F-6 WHEELS AND TIRES
INFLATION OF TIRES
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully calculated to give a satisfactory ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for 3 hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should be
checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the specifications on the “Tire Placard” located on the left
door (right door for right-hand side steering vehicle) lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure to increase when the tires become hot during driving.
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving. Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure”.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause :
Hard ride
Tire bruising or carcass damage
Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause :
Uneven braking
Steering lead
Reduced handling
Swerve on acceleration
Lower than recommended pressure can cause :
Tire squeal on turns
Hard Steering
Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
Tire rim bruises and rupture
Tire cord breakage
High tire temperature
Reduced handling
High fuel consumption
TIRE ROTATION
To equalize wear, rotate tires according to left figure. Radial tires
should be rotated periodically. Set tire pressure.
NOTE:
Due to their design, radial tires tend to wear faster in the
shoulder area, particularly in front positions. This makes
regular rotation especially necessary.
[A] : 5-tire rotation
[B] : 4-tire rotation
LH : Left-hand drive
RH : Right-hand drive

6-20 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
FAIL-SAFE TABLE
When any of the following DTCs is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode as long as malfunction continues to
exist but that mode is canceled when ECM detects normal condition after that.P1620
(No.84)ECU code not registered
Refer to Section 8G P1621
(No.83)No ECU code transmitted from Immobilizer
Control Module
P1622
(No.82)Fault in ECM
P1623
(No.81)ECU code not matched DTC NO. DETECTING ITEM DETECTING CONDITION
(DTC will set when detecting :)MIL
NOTE:
For (
) marked No. in DTC column, it is used for vehicle without immobilizer indication lamp.
DTC No.12 appears when none of the other codes is identified.
For vehicle with immobilizer indication lamp, star (
✱) marked DTCs can be read with SUZUKI scan
tool ECM application.
