Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warn-ing light
65D529
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.
If the light stays on or comes on when driv-
ing,  there  may  be  something  wrong  with
the ABS.
If this happens: 
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” orchange  the  ignition  mode  to  LOCK
(OFF)  by  pressing  the  engine  switch
and then start the engine again.
If  the  warning  light  comes  on  briefly  and
then  turns  off,  the  system  is  normal.  If  the
warning  light  still  stays  on,  something  is
wrong with the system.
If  the  light  and  the  brake  system  warning
light  stay  on  or  come  on  simultaneously
when  driving,  your  ABS  system  is
equipped  with  the  rear  brake  force  control
function  (proportioning  valve  function)  and there  may  be  something  wrong  with  both
the  rear  brake  force  control  function  and
the anti-lock functi
on of the ABS system.
If  one  of  the  above  occurs,  have  the  sys-
tem inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
If the ABS becomes inope rative, the brake
system  will  function  as  an  ordinary  brake
system  that  does  not  have  this  ABS  sys-
tem.
For  details  of  ABS  system,  refer  to  “Anti-
lock brake system (ABS)” in the “OPERAT-
ING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
