EXAMPLE
(5)
Your vehicle’s lighting system is controlled by three main systems: the Lighting switch, the
Auto-On Headlight System (when the lighting switch is in the “AUTO” position) and the
Daytime Running Light (D.R.L.)system. Of these systems, the D.R.L. system does not
work while the parking brake is applied.
The three systems work together to operate your lights as shown in the following chart:
E/G: Engine
ON: Lights ON
LIGHT: When it is light around the light sensor (5).
DARK: When it is dark around the light sensor (5).

To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob
on the end of the lever. There are four posi-
tions:
OFF (1)
All lights are off.
AUTO (2)
This function works when the ignition
mode has been changed to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The headlights and
position lights are turned on and off auto-
matically according to the amount of out-
side light detected by a sensor. They go
out automatically when you change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “LOCK” by
pressing the engine switch.
 The light sensor (5) for sensing the
amount of outside light is installed on the
upper part of the windshield. It also
serves as the rain sensor for the rain-
sensing wipers.NOTE:
 Avoid covering the light sensor area of
the windshield with a sticker. The sticker
may impair the performance of the sen-
sor and make the system unable to con-
trol operation of the lights correctly.
 If you changed the ignition mode to “ON”
by pressing the engine switch and the
“AUTO” position remains selected, the
headlights and position lights come on
automatically as the outside gets dark
even with the engine not running. Leav-
ing the lights lit for a long time may lead
to a completely discharged battery.
(3)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light and instrument lights are on, but
headlights are off.
(4)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light, instrument lights and headlights
are on.
CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind-
shield is covered with mud, ice, or
other similar substances, the head-
lights and position lights may be
turned on even when it is still light
outside. Before removing such sub-
stances from the windshield, always
set the wiper control lever to the
“OFF” position. If the lever is left in
the “AUTO” position, the wipers
could unexpectedly operate and
cause injury, and could also be dam-
aged.

With the headlights on, push the lever for-
ward to switch to the high beams (main
beams) or pull the lever toward you to
switch to the low beams. When the high
beams (main beams) are on, a light on the
instrument panel will come on. To momen-
tarily activate the high beams (main
beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever
slightly toward you and release it when you
have completed the signal.
Auto-On Headlight System
57L21118
The Auto-on headlight system automati-
cally turns on all lights that are operated by
the lighting control lever on the steering
column, when the following three condi-
tions are all met.
Conditions for Auto-on headlight system
operation:
1) It is dark around the light sensor (5).
2) The lighting control lever is in the
“AUTO” position.
3) You press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
This system is operated by a signal from
the light sensor (5) on the front wind shield.
Do not cover the sensor (5). If you do, the
system will not work correctly.NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared
rays, so it may operate incorrectly when
there are strong infrared rays.
Reprogramming the Automatic Light
Function
The following settings of the automatic light
function can be customized to your prefer-
ence. Please contact an authorized
SUZUKI dealer if you want the function
reprogrammed.
EXAMPLE
(5)
WARNING
It takes about 5 seconds for the light
sensor to react to a change in light-
ing conditions. To help avoid an acci-
dent due to reduced visibility, turn on
your headlights before driving into a
tunnel, parking structure or the like.

Sensitivity of the light sensor
The amount of outside light needed to turn
the lights on and off is pre-set at the fac-
tory. The sensitivity of the light sensor can
be adjusted so that the lights are turned on
and off when it is:
 lighter outside than the pre-set condition,
or
 darker outside than the pre-set condition
Rain-triggered automatic lighting oper-
ation
The setting of the auto-on headlight sys-
tem can be changed to make it turn on the
headlights:
 when the rain sensor senses heavy rain-
fall (pre-set at the factory)
 when the rain sensor senses light and
heavy rainfall (in coordination with rain-
sensing wiper operation), or
 independently from rain-sensing wiper
operation.
Light Reminder BuzzerThe interior buzzer continuously beeps if
you open the driver’s door without turning
off the headlights and position lights. This
function is triggered under the following
