2021 SUZUKI JIMNY Is check engine light

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument cluster comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. If the ABS warning light (1) and the brake system warning light (2) on the instrument cluster simultane­ously stay on or come on while driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slip­pery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive care­fully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible.
3-55
How ABS works
A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly. indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop. you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself.
A WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual.
Electronic stability program
(ESP®)
ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to control the vehicle during corner­ing if front wheels or rear wheels skid. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine's output, and by_ . selective!¥ applying the brakes. In add1t1on, ESP helps to avoid skidding by controlling brak­ing pressure.
A WARNING
The ESP® cannot enhance the vehi­cle's driving stability in all situations and does not control your vehicle's entire braking system. The ESP® can­not prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe and attentive drive can prevent acci­dents. The capabilities of an ESP®­
equipped vehicle must never be used as a substitute for careful driving.

A WARNING
• When the hill descent control sys­tem is used continuously for a long time, the temperature of the bra~e system may increase and the hill descent control system may be deactivated temporarily to protect the device of the brake system. The hill descent control indicator blinks to let you know the system is deac­tivated. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle in a safe place. When the temperature of the brake system goes down, the hill descent control indicator will come on and the system is activated again. • The hill descent control system may be activated when the gear­shift lever is in "N" (Neutral) posi~ tion, but engine braking will not work. Always use the hill descent control system with the gearshift lever in a forward gear or reverse
gear. When using the hill descent control system, push the hill descent con­trol switch and make sure that the hill descent control indicator light comes on and no warning message are indicated on the information display.
NOTE: You may hear a sound coming from the engine when the hill descent control sys­tem is activated. This sound is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
To turn off the hill descent control system, push the hill descent control switch and turn off the hill descent control indicator
light.

Hill descent control indicator light

When the ignition switch is in "ON" posi­tion, this light comes on briefiy so you can check that the light is working.
When you push the hill descent control switch and the hill descent control operat­ing conditions are fulfilled, the hill desce~t control indicator comes on. If the hill descent control indicator blinks, the hill descent control will not be activated.
If hill descent control indicator light comes on while not operating the hill descent con­trol switch, or the indicator light does not come on after the switch is pushed, there is a problem in this system. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
TPMS malfunction indicator
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com­bined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for about 75 seconds and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse­quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal­function exists.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is not reset even after the engine is turned off; it remains in the ON state until the normal conditions are restored.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi­nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tell­tale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure the replacement or alternation of tyres and wheels to allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTICE
The tyre pressure sensors can be damaged if you do not take proper precautions.
We highly recommend that you have tyres repaired or replaced by a SUZUKI dealer. The tyre pressure sensors can be damaged by instal­lation or removal of tyres. • Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tyre unless your vehicle is equipped with a flat tyre repair kit instead of a spare tyre.
NOTICE
If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on frequently, there may be something wrong with one or more of the tyres, tyre pressure sensors or the monitoring system.
If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on frequently, have your vehi~ cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

3) While holding the hood, pull the prop rod out from the holding clip, and then insert the end of the rod into the desig­nated hole.
A CAUTION
• The prop rod can be hot enough to burn your finger right after driving. Touch the rod after it becomes cool enough. Insert the end of the rod into the hole securely. If the rod slips out, you may get caught in the closing hood. • The rod may slip out when the hood is blown by wind. Be careful on windy days.

To close the engine hood: 1) Lift the hood up slightly and remove the prop rod from the hole. Put the prop rod back into the holding clip.

2) Lower the hood to about 20 cm above the hood latch, and then let it drop down. Check that the hood is securely latched after closing.
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.
A CAUTION
To avoid injury, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the hood when closing it.
NOTICE
Pushing on the hood from the top may damage it.
