When the front passenger’s air bag is acti-
vated, both “PASSENGER AIRBAG ON”
indicator (1) and “PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF” indicator (2) come on for a few sec-
onds and then go out.
After that, only “PASSENGER AIRBAG
ON” indicator (1) comes on for about 1
minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger’s air bag is
deactivated, both “PASSENGER AIRBAG
ON” indicator (1) and “PASSENGER AIR-
BAG OFF” indicator (2 ) come on for a few

According to accident s tatistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than front seating posi-
tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat.
Air bag deactivation switch
75RM165
The air bag deactivation switch (3) is
installed only for use when a rear-facing
child restraint system or infant restraint
system is installed in the front passenger’s
seat. The switch is located at the upper
corner inside the glove box.
WA R N I N G
When using child restraint system on
the front passenger’s seat, the front
passenger’s air bag must be deacti-
vated; otherwise deployment of the
front passenger’s air bag could result
in the death or serious injury of the
child.
WA R N I N G
Check that the front passenger’s air
bag is activated and “PASSENGER
AIRBAG ON” indicator (1) is on
whenever there is no child restraint
installed on the front passenger’s
seat.

Warning and indicator lightsNOTE:
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 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-inf
lation 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 tu rns off after blink-
ing, indicating that the monitoring
system has recovered, you should
still have the system checked by your
authorized SUZUKI dealer.

2-102
BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Refer to “Tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-
CLE” section for additional details on the
tire pressure monitoring system. Refer to
“Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND MAIN-
TENANCE” section for information on
maintaining proper tire pressure.
WA R N I N G
The load-carrying capacity of your
tires is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tires are even mod-
erately under-inflated, the load on the
tires may exceed the load-carrying
capacity of the tires, which could lead
to tire failure. The low tire pressure
warning light will not alert you to this
condition, because it only comes on
when one or more of your tires
becomes significan tly under-inflated.
Check and adjust your tire inflation
pressure at least once a month. Refer
to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.
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 the vehicle 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 the tire replacement method.
Also refer to “Replacing tires and/
or wheels” for instructions on how
to restore normal operation of the
TPMS after you have had a flat tire. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare
tire, refer to “Flat tire repair kit (if
equipped)” in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section for instructions
on how to perform an emergency
repair of a flat tire.
• If one or more of your tires is under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure of all tires to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as soon
as possible.

Brake system warning light
82K170
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.
