Warning and Indicator LightsLow Tire Pressure Warning Light
52D305
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low
tire pressure warning light to inform you
when one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, this light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, including the spare,
should be checked at least once a month
when cold and set to the recommendedinflation pressure as specified in the vehi-
cle placard and owner’s manual.
The low tire pressure warning light is also
used to inform you of a TPMS malfunction.
When the system detects a malfunction,
this light will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will be repeated
approximately ten minutes after subse-
quent the ignition switch is turned on as
long as the malfunction exists.
NOTE:
The low tire pressure warning light may not
come on immediately if you have a sudden
loss of air pressure.
WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not come on when the ignition
is turned to the “ON” position, or
comes on and blinks while driving
there may be a problem with the tire
pressure monitoring system. Have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Even if the light
turns off after blinking, indicating
that monitoring system has recov-
ered, make sure to have an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer check the
system.
WARNING
The load rating of your tires is
reduced at lower inflation pressures.
If your tires become even moderately
under-inflated, the vehicle load may
exceed the load rating of the tires,
which can lead to tire failure. The low
tire pressure warning light will not
alert you of this condition. The warn-
ing light will only come on when one
or more of your tires become signifi-
cantly under-inflated. Check and
adjust your tire inflation pressure at
least once a month. Refer to “Tires”
in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section.

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working.
When the 2WD/i-AWD switch is in the “i-
AWD AUTO” mode with the ignition switch
in the “ON” position, the light comes on
and stays on.
If the light and the “i-AWD LOCK” indicator
light stay on or come on simultaneously
when driving, there may be something
wrong with the i-AWD system. Have thesystem inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
If the oil temperature of the parts for i-AWD
system is high, this light will blink. The “i-
AWD AUTO” or “i-AWD LOCK” mode will
be changed to the “2WD” mode automati-
cally to prevent a damage of the parts for i-
AWD system.
NOTE:
If you restart the engine, the light will stop
blinking temporarily.
For details, refer to “Using the 2WD/i-AWD
Switch” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-
CLE” section.
NOTE:
When the vehicle speed is increased, the
“i-AWD LOCK” mode will be changed to
the “i-AWD AUTO” mode automatically.
The “i-AWD AUTO” indicator light will come
on and stay on.
