BEFORE DRIVING
Warning and indicator lights
NOTE: If warning and indicator lights blink or come on, the corresponding messages may be shown on the information display. If your vehicle is equipped with the "Emergency road assistance -global navigation satellite system (ERA-GLONASS)", the information display also indicates warning and indicator message related to the system. For information on this message, refer to "Emergency Road Assistance -Global Navigation Satellite System (ERA-GLONASS)" in "For Russia and other countries adopting ERAGLONASS" in the "SUPPLEMENT" section.
Low tyre pressure warning light {if equipped)
{l)
52D305
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low tyre pressure warning light to inform you
2-39
when one or more of your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned "ON", this light comes on briefly so you can check that the light is working.
When the low tyre pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tyres is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tyre information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tyre, including the spare, should be checked at least once a month when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard.
The low tyre 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 "ON" as long as the malfunction exists.
NOTE: The low tyre pressure warning light may not come on immediately if you have a sudden loss of air pressure.
A WARNING
Failure to take corrective action when the low tyre pressure warning light is not working or when it comes on and blinks while driving can lead to an accident. If the low tyre pressure warning light does not come on for 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "ON", the light or comes on and blinks while driving, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. Even if the light turns off after blinking, indicating that the monitoring system has recovered, you should still have the system checked by a SUZUKI dealer.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Daily inspection checklist
Before driving
60A187
1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors are clean and unobstructed. 2) Visually check the tyres for the follow-ing points: -the depth of the tread groove -abnormal wear, cracks and damage -loose wheel nuts -existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc.
Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
3-1
NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system while and after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed and latched. 5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper operation. 6) Adjust the seat and head restraint. 7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Check that you and all passengers have properly fastened by the seat belts. 1 0)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. 11 )Check all gauges. 12)Check that the brake system warning light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level 3) Brake fluid level 4) Battery fluid (acid) level 5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Check that you cannot open . the hood further without releasing the secondary latch. Close the hood securely after checking for proper latch operation. See the item "All latches, hinges and locks" of "Chassis, body and others" in "Maintenance schedule" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for lubrication schedule.
A WARNING
Check that the hood is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre pressure of the spare tyre.
Low tyre pressure warning light
(!)
52D305
Each tyre should be checked monthly when cold and infiated to the infiation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre pressure for those tyres.) As an added fuel efficiency feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or more of your tyres is significantly under-infiated. Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and infiate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-infiated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-infiation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-infiation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
A WARNING
Relying only on the tyre pressure monitoring system to determine when it is necessary to add air to the tyres can result in loss of control or an accident. Check tyre pressures monthly when the tyres are cold. If necessary, adjust them to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on the vehicle's tyre information placard and in this owner's manual. Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
Failure to take corrective action when the low tyre pressure warning light is not working or when it comes on and blinks while driving can lead to an accident. If the low tyre pressure warning light does not come on for 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, or comes on and blinks while driving, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. Even if the light turns off after blinking, indicating that the monitoring system has recovered, you should still have the system checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

Improving fuel economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you park your vehicle for more than one minute, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts F~st starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Drive at a constant speed that road and traffic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
EXAMPLE
60A183
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting m decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load is, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Unload any unnecessary luggage or cargo.
Keep tyre pressures correct Under-infiation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased rolling resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres infiated to the correct pressure shown in the label on driver's door lock pillar.
DRIVING TIPS
Highway driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: • Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stopping prnnt to allow for the extra stopping distance. On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehicle's tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle during hydroplaning can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road surface is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unexpected buffeting, which can occur at the exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
