• When using the automatic heating and
air conditioning system (if equipped),
you can select one of the following
engine auto stop settings.
– Standard
– Economy
–Comfort
• When “Economy” is selected, engine
auto stop condition is eased, compared
with “Standard”. Engine auto stop condi-
tion will occur more frequently, the stop
time will be longer, leading to reduction
of fuel consumption.
• When “Comfort” is selected, engine auto
stop condition becomes severe, com-
pared with “Standard”. Engine auto stop
condition will occur less frequently, the
stop time will be shorter, leading to more
comfortable cabin condition by air condi-
tioner.

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.

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 specification vehicle)
Also, if this light comes on when the
engine is running, there is a problem with
the continuously variable transaxle sys-
tem. Ask your SUZUKI dealer to have the
system inspected.
Immobilizer/keyless push start sys-tem warning light
80JM122
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”

This light remains on until all doors (includ-
ing the tailgate) are completely closed.
If any door (including the tailgate) is open
when the vehicle is moving, a ding sounds
to remind you to close all doors completely.
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.

Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the light must be reset to monitor
the next oil change timing properly. To
reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer.
NOTE:
• Note that engine oil degrades faster
under the following conditions:
– Mainly urban use of the vehicle,
requiring more frequent regeneration
of the DPF
®;
– Use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time
to reach its regular operating tem-
perature;
– Repeated interruptions to the regen-
eration process signaled by the DPF
®
warning light coming on.
• Since special procedures and tools are
required, ask your authorized SUZUKI
dealer to reset the oil life monitoring sys-
tem for diesel engine.
