2021 SUZUKI JIMNY battery

Pinching prevention function
(if equipped)
The driver's window is equipped with a pinching prevention function. This function detects a foreign object that is caught in the window as it is being closed by AUTO­UP feature, which allows you to close the window without holding the window switch in UP position, and stops the window from closing to prevent damage.
A. WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win­dow entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric window when closing it. This function may not detect an object due to the size, hardness, or position of the object being caught in the closing window.
A.CAUTION
The pinching prevention function does not operate while you are holding the window switch in UP position. The pinching prevention function may not detect an object caught in the window just before the window is fully closed.
NOTE: Even if you cannot close the window by the AUTO-UP feature because there may be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function, you can close the window by holding the window switch in UP position. If you drive in extreme off-road condition, the pinching prevention function may oper­ate accidentally because the window reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa­tion When you disconnect and reconnect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the function will be deactivated. In this condi­tion, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature may remain activated. The pinching pre­vention function needs to be initialized.
BEFORE DRIVING
To initialize the pinching prevention func­tion, use the following procedure: 1) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi­
tion. 2) Open the driver's window fully by hold­ing the window switch in DOWN posi­tion. 3) Close the driver's window by holding the switch in UP position, and keep holding the switch for 2 seconds after the window is fully closed. 4) Check the driver's window to see if the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
A. WARNING
Whenever you disconnect and recon­nect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the pinching prevention function needs to be initialized. The pinching prevention function will not be activated until the initialization is completed.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not work after initialization, there might be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

Trip meter The trip meter can be used to measure the distance traveled on short trips or between fuel stops. You can use the trip meter A or trip meter B independently.
To reset the trip meter, push and hold the trip meter selector knob (1) until the display shows a.a.
NOTE: The indicated maximum value of the trip meter is 9999.9. When you run past the maximum value, the indicated value will return to 0. 0. ·
Odometer The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
NOTICE
Keep track of your odometer reading and check the maintenance sched­ule regularly for required services. Increased wear or damage to certain parts can result from failure to per­form required services at the proper mileage intervals.

Instantaneous fuel consumption The display shows the value of instanta­neous fuel consumption only when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: The display does not show the value unless the vehicle is moving. Depending on the vehicle's specification, the fuel consumption units of initial set­ting are indicated as U100km or km/L. For "U100km" setting, the indicated maximum value of instantaneous fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30 will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. For "km/L" setting, the indicated maxi­mum value of instantaneous fuel con­sumption is 50. No more than 50 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. For "U100km" or "km/L" setting, you can change the units that instantaneous fuel consumption is displayed in. Refer to ',<\verage fuel consumption" in this sec­tion.
Average fuel consumption If you previously selected average fuel consumption setting, the display shows average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
To reset the average fuel consumption, push and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for a while when the display shows the average fuel consumption.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a while.

(For "L/100km" or 11km/L11 setting) To change the unit of average fuel con­sumption, while pushing and holding the trip meter selector knob (1 ), turn the indica­tor selector knob (2).

When you change the units that average fuel consumption is displayed in, the instantaneous fuel consumption units will be changed automaticaf/y.
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 "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.
When you refuel, the driving range is updated. However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.
NOTE: ff you refuel when the ignition switch is in "ON", the driving range may not indicate the correct value. When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of driving range will be shown after driving for a while.

Instantaneous fuel consumption The display shows instantaneous fuel con­sumption 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 set­ting are indicated as U100km, km/L or MPG (UK). The indicated maximum value of instan­taneous fuel consumption is one of the followings. No more than the maximum value will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. -For U100km setting: 30 -For km/L setting: 50 -For MPG (UK) setting: 80 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 previously selected average fuel consumption setting, the display shows average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
NOTE: When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a period of time.
You can select the timing to reset the value of average fuel consumption by one of the following three methods; Reset after refuel: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automati­cally 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 push­ing and holding the indicator selector knob (3) when the display indicates the average fuel consumption.
To change the timing to reset the value of average fuel consumption, 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.
