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.
NOTE:

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.

Warning and indicator lights
NOTE:
If warning and indicator lights blink or
come on, the corresponding messages
may be shown on the information display.
Low tire pressure warning light
(if equipped)
52D305
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle is 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 “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, 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 indicatedon 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 recommended
inflation pressure as specified in the vehi-
cle placard.
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 blink for about 75 seconds
and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will be repeated after the
ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON” as long as the mal-
function exists.
NOTE:
The low tire pressure warning light may not
come on immediately if you have a sudden
loss of air pressure.
WA R N I N G
Failure to take corrective action when
the low tire pressure warning light is
not working or when it comes on and
blinks while driving can lead to an
accident.
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not come on for 2 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode
to “ON”, or comes on and blinks
while driving, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer. Even if the light turns off after
blinking, indicating that the monitor-
ing system has recovered, you
should still have the system checked
by your authorized SUZUKI dealer.

Brake system warning light
65D477
Three different types of operations exist
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
• The light comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
• The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition switch
in “ON” position or the ignition mode is
“ON”.
• The light comes on under either or both
of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (proportioning valve
function) of the ABS system fails.If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system.
If this happens:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping the vehicle on the shoulder of
the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive the
vehicle cautiously at low speed to the
nearest dealer for repairs or tow the
vehicle to the nearest dealer for repairs.
NOTE:
Because the brake system is self-adjust-
ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake
pads become worn. Replenishing the
brake fluid reservoir is considered normal
periodic maintenance.
NOTE:
Parking brake reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to release the parking brake if you
start the vehicle without releasing the park-
ing brake. Check that the parking brake is
fully released and the brake system warn-
ing light turns off.
WA R N I N G
Remember that stopping distance
may be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.
WA R N I N G
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the
brake system.
• If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the engine
has been started and the parking
brake has been fully released.
• If the brake system warning light
does not come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to
“ON”.
• If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warn-ing light
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working.
If the light stays on or comes on when driv-
ing, 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 and
then turns off, the system is normal. If the
warning light still stays on, something is
wrong with 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) andthere may be something wrong with both
the rear brake force control function and
the anti-lock function of the ABS system.
If one of the above occurs, have the sys-
tem inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake
system will function as an ordinary brake
system that does not have this ABS sys-
tem.
For details of ABS system, refer to “Anti-
lock brake system (ABS)” in “OPERATING
YOUR VEHICLE” section.
