Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
Fuel gauge
61MM0A154
When the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is “ON”, this gauge
gives an approximate indication of the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F” stands
for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the indicator approaches a low level
(near “E”) on fuel gauge, refill the tank as
soon as possible.
NOTE:
The indicator moves a little depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.Refer to “Low fuel warning light” in “Warn-
ing and indicator lights” in this section for
details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the vehi-
cle.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with the
engine revving in the red zone or
severe engine damage can result.
Keep the engine speed below the red
zone even when downshifting to a
lower gear position.

Temperature gauge
61MM0A155
When the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is “ON”, this gauge
indicates the engine coolant temperature.
Under normal driving conditions, the indi-
cator should stay within the normal,
acceptable temperature range between
“H” and “C”. If the indicator approaches
“H”, overheating is indicated. Follow the
instructions for “Engine trouble: Overheat-
ing” in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
Brightness control
61MM0A156
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
instrument cluster lights come on.
Your vehicle has a system to automatically
dim the brightness of the instrument clus-
ter lights when the position lights or head-
lights are on.
You can change the brightness of the
instrument cluster lights regardless of
whether the position lights or headlights
are off or on.
To increase the brightness of the instru-
ment cluster lights, turn the indicator selec-
tor knob (1) clockwise. To reduce the brightness of the instrument
cluster lights, turn the indicator selector
knob (1) counterclockwise.

NOTE:
• If you do not turn the knob for more than
5 seconds while activating the bright-
ness control, the brightness control dis-
play will be canceled automatically.
• When you reconnect the battery, the
brightness of the instrument cluster
lights will be reinitialized. Readjust the
brightness according to your preference.
NOTE:
If you select the high brightness level when
the position lights or headlights are on, the
instrument cluster lights are not dimmed.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.

Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows instantaneous fuel con-
sumption with a bar graph only when the
vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• The display does not show the bar graph
unless the vehicle is moving.
• Depending on the vehicle’s specification,
the fuel consumption units of initial set-
ting are indicated as L/100km, km/L or
MPG.
• For L/100km or km/L setting, the indi-
cated maximum value of instantaneous
fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30
will be indicated on the display even if
the actual instantaneous fuel consump-
tion is higher.
• For MPG setting, the indicated maxi-
mum value of instantaneous fuel con-
sumption is 80. No more than 80 will be
indicated on the display even if the
actual instantaneous fuel consumption is
higher.
• The indication on the display may be
delayed if fuel consumption is greatly
affected by driving conditions.
• The display shows estimated values.
Indications may not be the same as
actual values.
Average fuel consumption
If you selected average fuel consumption
the last time you drove the vehicle, the dis-
play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption from previous driving whenthe ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”. Unless
you reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, the display indicates the value of
average fuel consumption based on the
average fuel consumption during previous
driving.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of average
fuel consumption will be shown after driv-
ing for a period of time.
You can select when the value of average
fuel consumption is reset from among the
following three methods;
• Reset after refuel: the value of average
fuel consumption will be reset automati-
cally by refueling.
• Reset with trip meter A: the value of
average fuel consumption will be reset
automatically by resetting trip meter A.
• Reset manually: the value of average
fuel consumption will be reset by push-
ing and holding the indicator selector
knob (2) when the display indicates the
average fuel consumption.
To change when the value of average fuel
consumption is reset, refer to “Setting
mode” in this section. NOTE:
If you add only a small amount of fuel
when you select “Reset after refuel”, the
average fuel consumption value may not
be reset.
Driving range
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
“---” for a few seconds and then indicates
the current driving range when the ignition
switch is turned to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can drive
until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on
current driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on,
the display “---” will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel.
NOTE:
• If you refuel when the ignition switch is in
“ON” position or the ignition mode is
“ON”, the driving range may not indicate
the correct value.

• When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the value of driv-
ing range will be shown after driving for a
period of time.
Average Speed
If you selected average speed the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
the last value of average speed from previ-
ous driving when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”. Unless you reset the value
of average speed, the display indicates the
value of average speed which includes
average speed during previous driving.
To reset the value of average speed, push
and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for
about 2 seconds when the display indi-
cates an average speed. The display
shows “---” and then indicates a new aver-
age speed after driving for a short time.

minal to the battery, the value of average
speed will be shown after driving for a
period of time.Oil life (for diesel engine models)
The display indicates the remaining dis-
tance until the timing calculated for the
next engine oil and oil filter change. When
the remaining distance becomes 0 km, the
oil change request light in the instrument
cluster also starts blinking to alert that you
should change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately.
If you selected oil life the last time you
drove the vehicle, the display indicates “---”
for a few seconds and then indicates the
current distance until the next engine oil
change is due, when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”.
Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the oil life monitoring must be
reset in order to monitor the next oil and oil
filter change timing properly. To reset the
indicator, consult your SUZUKI dealer.
When the oil life monitoring is reset, the oil
life monitoring indicates 30000 km. If the
oil change request light was blinking, it will
go out.
NOTICE
Change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately when the remaining dis-
tance of the oil life monitoring indica-
tion becomes close to 0 km. If you
keep operating the engine with 0 km
indication of oil life monitoring,
severe engine damage can result.
