Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light (if equipped)
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”, the light comes on briefly so you can
check that the light is working.
If the light stays on, or comes on when
driving, there may be something wrong
with the ABS.
If this happens:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” or
change the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF) by pressing the engine switch
and then start the engine again.
If the warning light comes on briefly then
turns off, the system is normal. If the warn-
ing light still stays on, there is something
wrong in the system.If the light and the brake system warning
light stay on, or come on simultaneously
when driving, your ABS system is
equipped with the rear brake force control
function (proportioning valve function) and
there may be something wrong with both
the rear brake force control function and
anti-lock function of the ABS system.
If one of these happens, have the system
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake
system will function as an ordinary brake sys-
tem that does not have this ABS system.
Oil Pressure Light
50G051
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”, and goes out when the
engine is started. The light will come on and
remain on if there is insufficient oil pressure.
If the light comes on when driving, pull off
the road as soon as you can and stop the
engine.
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
If there is enough oil, the lubrication sys-
tem should be inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer before you drive the vehi-
cle again.
Charging Light
50G052
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”, and goes out when
the engine is started. The light will come
on and remain on if there is something
wrong with the battery charging system. If
the light comes on when the engine is run-
ning, the charging system should be
inspected immediately by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
• If you operate the engine with this
light on, severe engine damage can
result.
• Do not rely on the oil pressure light
to indicate the need to add oil. Be
sure to periodically check the
engine oil level.

When the low fuel warning light (1) comes
on, a ding sounds once to remind you to fill
the fuel.
If you do not fill the fuel, a ding sounds
every time when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON” position.
NOTE:
The activation point of the low fuel warning
light (1) varies depending on road condi-
tions (for example, slope or curve) and
driving conditions because of fuel moving
in the tank.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the vehi-
cle.
Temperature Gauge
74LHT0221
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", this
gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-perature. Under normal driving conditions,
the indicator 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 overheating in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
Brightness Control
68LM227
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode is
"ON", the pointer lights come on.
Your vehicle has a system to automatically
dim the brightness of the instrument panellights when the position lights or headlights
are on.
When the position lights and/or headlights
are ON, you can control the meter illumina-
tion intensity.
To increase the brightness of the instru-
ment panel lights, turn the brightness con-
trol knob (1) clockwise.
To reduce the brightness of the instrument
panel lights, turn the brightness control
knob (1) counterclockwise.
NOTE:
• If you do not turn the brightness control
knob within about 5 seconds of activat-
ing the brightness control display, the
brightness control display will be can-
celed automatically.
• When you reconnect the battery, the
brightness of the instrument panel lights
will be reinitialized. Readjust the bright-
ness according to your preference.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.

If the outside temperature nears freezing,
the mark (a) will appear on the display.
NOTE:
• The outside temperature indication is not
the actual outside temperature when
driving at low speed, or when stopped.
• If there is something wrong with the ther-
mometer, or just after the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode is “ON”, the display may
not indicate the outside temperature.
When the display (B) shows the driving
range, you can change the unit of tempera-
ture.To change the unit of temperature, while
pushing and holding the trip meter selector
knob (1), turn the indicator selector knob

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 the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode is “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
the “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
while.
Odometer
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", the
display (C) shows the odometer.
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Clock

position or the ignition mode is "ON", the
display (D) shows the time.
To change the time indication:
1) Push the trip meter selector knob (1)
and the indicator selector knob (2)
together.
2) To change the hour indication, turn the
indicator selector knob (2) left or right
repeatedly when the hour indication
