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.

Anti-lock brake system {ABS) warn­
ing light
(8)
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned "ON", this light comes on briefiy 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" and then start the engine again.
If the warning light comes on briefiy 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) and there 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 sys­tem inspected by a 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 "Anti­lock brake system (ABS)" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" section.

The electronic control system monitors driving condition (such as vehicle speed and/or engine revolution), and it shows which gear position is optimal for your driv­ing with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated in the dis­play while driving, we recommend you to shift up or down the gear. It is the optimal gear position for a driving condition that reduces the over revolution and stress to the engine, and improves fuel consump­tion.
For details on how to use the transmission, refer to "Using the transmission" in this sec­tion.
A WARNING
The gearshift indicator is designed to indicate optimal gear position for your driving, however, a driver will not be relieved from the duty of care of driving operation or gear change with this indicator. To drive safe, do not gaze the gear­shift indicator, pay attention to your driving situation and shift up or down if necessary.
NOTE: The gearshift indicator is not indicated when the gear position is in "N" (Neu­tral). If you depress the clutch pedal while UPI DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication will disappear. In ordinary driving, UP arrow will disap­pear when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal. The indication of gearshift indicator tim­ing may differ depending on the vehicle condition and/or driving situation even in the same vehicle speed and engine rev­
olution. If any of the electrical systems such as dual sensor brake support system, or ESP" system is working, the gearshift indicator will disappear temporarily.
