Warning and indicator lights
NOTE:
If warning and indicator lights blink or
come on, the corresponding messages
may be shown on the information display.
Low tire pressure warning light
(if equipped)
52D305
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your
vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low
tire pressure warning light to inform you
when one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure as indicatedon the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, including the spare,
should be checked at least once a month
when cold and set to the recommended
inflation pressure as specified in the vehi-
cle placard.
The low tire 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 to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON” as long as the mal-
function exists.
NOTE:
The low tire pressure warning light may not
come on immediately if you have a sudden
loss of air pressure.
WA R N I N G
Failure to take corrective action when
the low tire pressure warning light is
not working or when it comes on and
blinks while driving can lead to an
accident.
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not come on for 2 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode
to “ON”, or comes on and blinks
while driving, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer. Even if the light turns off after
blinking, indicating that the monitor-
ing system has recovered, you
should still have the system checked
by your authorized SUZUKI dealer.

Turn signal indicators
50G055
When you turn on the left or right turn sig-
nals, the corresponding green arrow on the
instrument cluster will flash along with the
respective turn signal lights. When you
turn on the hazard warning switch, both
arrows will flash along with all of the turn
signal lights.
Main beam (high beam) indicator
light
50G056
This indicator comes on when headlight
main beams (high beams) are turned on.
Illumination indicator light
64J045
This indicator light comes on while the
position lights, tail light and/or the head-
lights are on.
4WD warning light (if equipped)
57L30042
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, this light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working.
• This light comes on if there is any prob-
lem with the four-mode 4WD system.
The system will be deactivated automati-
cally.
• The light blinks if the vehicle is in either
of the following conditions, and the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically.
– Wheels of different diameters are fitted
to the vehicle.
– Drive train components overheat as a
result of spinning of a drive wheel in
mud or snow.
NOTE:
Should the light blink, immediately move
the vehicle to a safe place and park it there
to protect the drive train components. If
you let the engine run at idle for a while
except for the case of different sized
wheels are fitted, the light will go out and
the system will resume.

Your vehicle’s lighting system is controlled by two main systems: the lighting switch and
the auto-on headlight system (when the lighting switch is in “AUTO” position).
The two systems work together to operate your lights as shown in the following chart:

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
mode has been changed to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The headlights and
position lights are turned on and off auto-
matically according to the amount of out-
side light detected by a sensor. They go
out automatically when you change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “LOCK” by
pressing the engine switch.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount
of outside light is installed on the upper
part of the windshield. It also serves as the
rain sensor for the rain-sensing wipers.NOTE:
• Avoid covering the light sensor area of
the windshield with a sticker. The sticker
may impair the performance of the sen-
sor and make the system unable to con-
trol operation of the lights correctly.
• If you changed the ignition mode to “ON”
by pressing the engine switch and
“AUTO” position remains selected, the
headlights and position lights come on
automatically as it gets dark outside,
even with the engine not running. Leav-
ing the lights lit for a long time may lead
to a completely discharged battery.

Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light and instrument lights are on, but
headlights are off. (4)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light, instrument lights and headlights

61MM0A075
With the headlights on, push the lever for-
ward to switch to the high beams (main
beams) or pull the lever toward you to
switch to the low beams. When the high
beams (main beams) are on, a light on the
instrument cluster will come on. To
momentarily activate the high beams (main
beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever
slightly toward you and release it when you
have completed the signal.
CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind-
shield is covered with mud, ice, or
other similar substances, the head-
lights and position lights may be
turned on even when it is still light
outside. Before removing such sub-
stances from the windshield, always
set the wiper control lever to “OFF”
position. If the lever is left in “AUTO”
position, the wipers could unexpect-
edly operate and cause injury, and
could also be damaged.

Auto-on headlight system
54P000236
The auto-on headlight system automati-
cally turns on all lights that are operated by
the lighting control lever on the steering
column, when the following three condi-
tions are all met.
Conditions for auto-on headlight system
operation:
1) It is dark around the light sensor (5).
2) The lighting control lever is in “AUTO”
position.
3) You press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
This system is operated by a signal from
the light sensor (5) on the windshield. Do
not cover the sensor (5). Otherwise, the
system will not work correctly.NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared
rays, so it may operate incorrectly when
there are strong infrared rays.
Reprogramming the automatic light
function
The following settings of the automatic
light function can be customized to your
preference. Please contact an authorized
SUZUKI dealer if you want the function
reprogrammed.
Sensitivity of the light sensor
The amount of outside light needed to turn
the lights on and off is pre-set at the fac-
tory. The sensitivity of the light sensor can
be adjusted so that the lights are turned on
and off when it is:
• lighter outside than the pre-set condition,
or
• darker outside than the pre-set conditionRain-triggered automatic lighting oper-
ation
The setting of the auto-on headlight sys-
tem can be changed to make it turn on the
headlights:
• when the rain sensor senses heavy rain-
fall
• when the rain sensor senses light and
heavy rainfall (in coordination with rain-
sensing wiper operation), or
• independently from rain-sensing wiper
operation.
Light reminder buzzer
The interior buzzer continuously beeps if
you open the driver’s door without turning
off the headlights and position lights. This
function is triggered under the following
condition:
The headlights and/or position lights are
on even after the ignition switch is turned
off, or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF).
The buzzer stops sounding when you turn
off the headlights and position lights.
NOTE:
A message is indicated on the information
display in the instrument cluster while the
buzzer is sounding.
WA R N I N G
It takes about 5 seconds for the light
sensor to react to a change in light-
ing conditions. To help avoid an acci-
dent due to reduced visibility, turn on
your headlights before driving into a
tunnel, parking structure, etc.
