The low tire pressure warning light can
come on due to normal causes such as
natural air leakage and pressure changes
caused by changes in temperature or
atmospheric pressure. Adjusting the air
pressure in the tires to the pressure shown
on the tire information placard should
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
turn off.
To make the low tire pressure warning light
go off, adjust the tire pressures when the
tires are cold, and drive the vehicle for
about 10 minutes.
When the adjusted tire pressure is recog-
nized, the low tire pressure warning light
will go off and the information display
shows the current tire pressure (if you
select the TPMS monitor).If the light turns on again shortly after
adjusting the pressure in your tires, you
may have a flat tire. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with the spare tire (if equipped).
Refer to “Jacking instructions” in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section. Refer
to “Replacing tires and/or wheels” for
instructions on how to restore normal oper-
ation of the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem after you have
had a flat tire.
WA R N I N G
Continuing to drive with the low tire
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly unde r-inflated tire can
cause the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop in a safe place as soon as
possible and check your tires.
• If you have a flat tire, replace it with the spare tire (if e quipped). Refer to
“Jacking instructions” in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section
for tire replacement. Also refer to
“Replacing tires and/or wheels” for
instructions on how to restore nor-
mal operation of the TPMS after
you have had a flat tire. (Continued)
WA R N I N G

• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare
tire, refer to “Flat tire repair kit” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion for instructions on how to per-
form an emergency repair of a flat
tire.
• If one or more of your tires is under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure in all of your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not go off even when you drive
for more than 10 minutes after adjust-
ing the cold tire pressure, there may
be a problem with the TPMS. Have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.

NOTE:
• The information display shows theabove warning and indicator message
when this light comes on.
• When the tire inflation pressure is
adjusted in high altitude areas, the low
tire pressure light may not turn off even
after tire inflation pressure adjustment. In
this case, adjust the inflation pressure to
a slightly higher pressure than the one
shown on the tire information placard.
• The low tire pressure warning light may turn off temporarily after coming on. This
could be due to increase of surface tem-
perature after long distance driving or
traveling to a high temperature area.
Even if the tire pressure warning light
turns off after coming on, check the infla-
tion pressure of all tires.
• To reduce the chance that the low tire pressure warning light will come on due
to normal changes in temperature and
atmospheric pressure, it is important to
check and adjust the tire pressures
when the tires are cold. If you check tires after driving, they are warm. Even if the
tire pressure seems to be good in this
condition, it could fall below the specified
pressure when tires cool down. Also, if
tires are inflated to the specified pres-
sure in a warm garage, the tire pressure
could fall below the specified one when
you drive the vehicle outside in very cold
temperature. If you adjust the tire pres-
sure in a garage that is warmer than the
outside temperature, you should add
1 kPa to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure for every 0.8°C differ-
ence between garage temperature and
outside temperature.
TPMS malfunction indicatorYour vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for about 75 seconds
and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is not
reset even after the engine is turned off; it
remains in the on state until the normal
conditions are restored.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

NOTE:
The information display shows the above
warning and indicator message when this
light comes on.
TPMS limitationsThe tire pressure monitoring system may
not function properly under certain circum-
stances. In the following situations, the low
tire pressure warning light may come on
and remain on or may blink.
• When you replace a flat tire with thespare tire.
• When you include a spare tire during a
tire rotation.
• When the TPMS sensor is damaged during a tire replacement or liquid seal-
ants are used to r epair a flat tire.
• When the TPMS sensor’s electronic sig- nal is disturbed in one of the following
ways:
– Electric devices or fa cilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
– A metallic film that may cause radio wave interference is attached on the
window.
– A lot of snow or ice covers the vehicle, in particular, around the wheels or
wheel housings.
– Snow tires that are not installed with genuine TPMS sensors or tire chains
are used.
• When you use non-genuine SUZUKI wheels or tires.
• When the pressure of any tire is too high.
• When there is a problem with the
receiver of the TPMS controller.
NOTICE
The tire pressure sensors can be
damaged if you do not take proper
precautions.
• We highly recommend that youhave tires repaired or replaced by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer. The
tire pressure sensors can be dam-
aged by installation or removal of
tires.
• Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire unless your vehicle is equipped
with a flat tire repair kit instead of a
spare tire.
NOTICE
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on frequently, there may be
something wrong with one or more of
the tires, tire pressure sensors, or the
monitoring system.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on frequently, have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.

• If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on, the information display will be
switched to “Tyre Press” display and the
corresponding tire pressure indication
blinks to alert you which tire(s) is(are)
low pressure.
• The display may not show the tire infla- tion pressure for about 10 minutes after
the vehicle begins to move. This is
because the TPMS system learns the
tire inflation pressure within this 10 min-
utes. The display will show the tire infla-
tion pressure after 10 minutes passed.
• If you stop the vehicle and turn the igni-
tion switch to “LOCK” position or change
the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), and
leave it for 20 minutes or more, tire pres-
sure will be reset and will be indicated as
0 kPa when the engine is restarted. In
this case, the current tire pressure indi-
cation will recover after driving for a
while. However, if any of tire pressures
has been detected as low pressure
before stopping the engine, the tire pres-
sure indication may not recover and may
be indicated as “---”. To set the initial value of tire pressure

Replacing tires and/or wheelsIf you got a flat tire and replaced it with the
spare tire, SUZUKI recommends that you
have an authorized SUZUKI dealer mount
a new tire on the wheel that had the flat
tire. The TPMS is already set up to recog-
nize the ID code of the original wheel, and
normal TPMS operati on will be restored.
If you need to replace any wheels on your
vehicle, your dealer must check that TPMS
sensors are installed in the new wheels
and must set up the TPMS to recognize
the new sensors.
NOTE:
A TPMS sensor is not installed in the spare
tire. You should use the spare tire only in
an emergency situation, and should
replace the spare tire as soon as possible
to restore normal TPMS operation.
WA R N I N G
Use of tires or wheels not recom-
mended by SUZUKI can result in fail-
ure of the TPMS.
When replacing tires and wheels, use
only tires and wheels recommended
by SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle. Refer to
“Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for addi-
tional information.
