2021 SUZUKI JIMNY tail light

BEFORE DRIVING
To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob on the end of the lever. There are four positions:
OFF (1) All lights are off.
AUTO (2) This function works when the ignition switch is turned "ON". The headlights and position lights are turned on and off auto­matically according to the amount of out­side light detected by the sensor. They go out automatically when you turn the igni­tion switch to "ACC" or "LOCK" position.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount of outside light is installed on the passen­ger's seat side instrument panel.
When headlights are turned on and the lighting control lever is in "AUTO" position, you can use the high beam assist (if equipped). For details, refer to "High beam assist" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" section.

A CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind­shield is covered with mud, ice1 or other similar substances, the head­lights and position lights may be turned on even when it is still light outside.
NOTE: Avoid covering the light sensor area of the windshield with a sticker. The sticker may impair the performance of the sen­sor and make the system unable to con­trol operation of the lights correctly. If you turned the ignition switch to "ON" position and "AUTO" position remains selected, the headlights and position lights come on automatically as it gets dark outside, even with the engine not running. Leaving the lights lit for a long time may lead to a completely dis­charged battery.

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.

A WARNING
• The lane departure warning may not be suitable for every situation. Also the system is not designed to avoid the lane deviations automati~ cally. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. Depending on road surface condi­tions, you may n~t feel the vibra­tion of the steering wheel even when the lane departure warning works. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself.
Situations where the system does not activate Under the following situations, the system does not activate. , When dual sensor brake support indica­tor light and lane departu_re warni~g i~di­cator light are 1nitially lighting immediately after the ignition switch is turned to "ON" When the following switches are pushed and the system is turned off: -Lane departure warning OFF switch -ESP® OFF switch When operated the hazard warning switch When the dual sensor is temporarily stopped or malfunctioning
When the system judges that the inten­tional lane change, such as during or after fiashing the turn signal lights
Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. , When you suddenly close to the partition
lines When driving on sharp curves When you do not return to inside of th_e lane after the lane departure warning 1s activated When the electric power steering light
comes on
If the dual sensor cannot detect partition lines except for above situations, t~~ _sys­tem may also not activate. Refer to Situa­tions where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.

Situations where the system may acti­vate by chance Under the following situations, the system may activate. • When there are a lot of lines in the run­ning lane When there is a shadow (for example, the shadow of the guardrail) parallel to the partition line When partition line is in the shadows When partition lines are drawn doubly When there is a liner paint on the road of a construction zone because the previ­ous line has not been erased completely When there is repair marks on the road or a boundary between asphalt and snow When there is tyre marks on snow-cov­ered or wet road When driving in the place without parti­tion lines (such as a tailgate or check­point, or at an intersection, etc.) When driving on the road diverges, merges, etc. When driving on an unpaved or rough road
