Malfunction indicator light
65D530
Your  vehicle  has  a  computer-controlled
emission  control  system.  A  malfunction
indicator light is provided on the instrument
cluster  to  indicate  when  it  is  necessary  to
have the emission control system serviced.
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. When the engine is started, the
light goes out. 
If  the  malfunction  indicator  light  comes  on
or blinks when the engine is running, there
is a damage in the emission control sys-
tem.
Bring the vehicle to your SUZUKI dealer to
have the damage fixed.
(For EU specifi cation vehicle)
Also,  if  this  light  comes  on  when  the
engine  is  running,  there  is  a  problem  with
the continuously variable transaxle system
or  Auto  Gear  Shift  system.  Ask  your
SUZUKI  dealer  to  have  the  system
inspected.
Transaxle warning light (if equipped)
80J219
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  for  several  seconds  so  you  can
check that the light is working.
If  this  light  comes  on  when  the  engine  is
running, there is a problem with the contin-
uously  variable  transaxle  system  or  Auto
Gear  Shift  system.  Ask  your  SUZUKI
dealer to have t he system inspected.
NOTE:
If the Auto Gear Shift clutch temperature
becomes too high, this light will blink. Stop
the vehicle in a safe place and let the sys-
tem cool down.
If  the  CVT  fluid  temperature  becomes  too
high, this light will blink. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and let  the fluid cool down.
NOTICE
Continuing  to  drive  the  vehicle  when
the  malfunction  indicator  light  is  on
or  blinking  can  cause  permanent
damage  to  the  vehicle’s  emission
control  system,  and  can  affect  fuel
economy and driveability.

WA R N I N G
Take  extreme  care  when  working  on
your  vehicle  to  prevent  accidental
injury.  Carefully  observe  the  follow-
ing precautions:
• To  prevent  damage  or  unintendedactivation  of  the  air  bag  system  or
seat belt pretensioner system, check
that  the  lead-acid  battery  is  discon-
nected  and  the  ignition  switch  has
been in “LOCK” position or the igni-
tion  mode  has  been  LOCK  (OFF)  for
at  least  90  seconds  before  perform-
ing  any  electrical  service  work  on
your  SUZUKI  vehicle.  Do  not  touch
air  bag  system  components,  seat
belt  pretensioner  system  compo-
nents or wires. 
The  wires  are  wrapped  with  yellow
tape  or  yellow  tubing,  and  the  cou-
plers  are  yellow  for  easy  identifica-
tion.
• Do  not  leave  the  engine  running  in garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• When  the  engine  is  running,  keep
hands,  clothing,  tools,  and  other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt.  Even  though  the  fan  may  not
be  moving,  it  can  automatically
turn on without warning.
• When  it  is  necessary  to  perform
service  work  with  the  engine  run-
ning,  check  that  the  parking  brake
is  set  fully  and  the  transaxle  is  in
Neutral  (for  manual  transaxle  or
Auto  Gear  Shift  vehicles)  or  Park
(for CVT vehicles).
• Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition  system  parts  when  starting
the  engine  or  when  the  engine  is
running,  or  you  could  receive  an
electric shock.
•Be careful not to touch a hot engine,  exhaust  manifold  and
pipes,  muffler,  radiator  and  water
hoses.
• Do  not  allow  smoking,  sparks,  or flames  around  fuel  or  the  battery.
Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported  only  with  the  portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
• Be  careful  not  to  cause  accidental short  circuits  between  the  positive
and negative battery terminals. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Keep  used  oil,  coolant,  and  other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose  of  used  fluids  properly;
never  pour  them  on  the  ground,
into sewers, etc.
