BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Refer to “Tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-
CLE” section for additional details on the
tire pressure monitoring system. Refer to
“Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND MAIN-
TENANCE” section for information on
maintaining proper tire pressure.
WA R N I N G
The load-carrying capacity of your
tires is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tires are even mod-
erately under-inflated, the load on the
tires may exceed the load-carrying
capacity of the tires, which could lead
to tire failure. The low tire pressure
warning light will not alert you to this
condition, because it only comes on
when one or more of your tires
becomes significan tly under-inflated.
Check and adjust your tire inflation
pressure at least once a month. Refer
to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.
WA R N I N G
Continuing to drive with the low tire
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly unde r-inflated tire can
cause the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and check your
tires.
• If you have a flat tire, replace it with
the spare tire (if e quipped). Refer to
“Jacking instructions” in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section
for the tire replacement method.
Also refer to “Replacing tires and/
or wheels” for instructions on how
to restore normal operation of the
TPMS after you have had a flat tire. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare
tire, refer to “Flat tire repair kit (if
equipped)” in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section for instructions
on how to perform an emergency
repair of a flat tire.
• If one or more of your tires is under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure of all tires to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as soon
as possible.

Brake system warning light
82K170
Three different types of operations exist
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
• The light comes on briefly when the igni- tion switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change
the ignition mode to ON.
• The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition switch
in “ON” position or the ignition mode is
ON.
• The light comes on under either or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (proportioning valve
function) of the ABS system fails. If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system.
If this happens:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping the vehicle on the shoulder of
the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive the
vehicle cautiously at low speed to the
nearest dealer for repairs or tow the
vehicle to the nearest dealer for repairs. NOTE:
Because the brake system is self-adjust-
ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake
pads become worn. Replenishing the
brake fluid reservoir is considered normal
periodic maintenance.
NOTE:
Parking brake reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to release the parking brake if you
start the vehicle without releasing the park-
ing brake. Check that the parking brake is
fully released and the brake system warn-
ing light turns off.
WA R N I N G
Remember that stopping distance
may be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.
WA R N I N G
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the
brake system.
• If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the engine
has been started and the parking
brake has been fully released.
• If the brake system warning light does not come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to ON.
• If the brake system warning light comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.

Exhaust gas warning
52D334
Daily inspection checklistBefore driving
60A187S
1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights andreflectors are clean and unobstructed.
2) Visually check the ti res for the following
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 “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
WA R N I N G
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-
oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is
colorless and odorless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, take the following precautions
to help prevent carbon monoxide
from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Do not park with the engine run-
ning for a long period of time, even
in an open area. If it is necessary to
sit for a short time in a parked vehi-
cle with the engine running, check
that the air intake selector is set to
FRESH AIR and the blower is at
high speed.
• Avoid operating the vehicle with the tailgate or tr unk open. If it is
necessary to do so, check that the
sunroof (if equipped) and all win-
dows are closed, and the blower is
at high speed with the air intake
selector set to FRESH AIR.
• To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grill in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leak-
age. Any damage or leakage
should be repaired immediately.

NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed andlatched.
5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.
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 your seat belts.
10)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to ON.
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) Lead-acid battery solution 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 all the way 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 the “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section for lubrication sched-
ule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
Engine oil consumptionIt is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumption
depends on viscosity and quality of the oil
and your driving conditions.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption:
Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km
(1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and it is difficult to judge the accurate oil
level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-
ing. This is because the oil gradually
becomes diluted with fuel or moisture,
WA R N I N G
Check that the hood is fully closed
and latched before d riving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.

• The audio and other electrical compo-nent can be used during the automatic
engine stop, but the air conditioner will
switch to the fan mode.
• If the vehicle is equipped with the auto- matic heating and air conditioning sys-
tem, the fan speed will be limited during
the automatic engine stop (only in the
auto control mode) to keep the cabin air-
conditioned for a longer time.
75RM281
3) Regardless of whether the vehicle has
stopped or not, depressing the clutch
pedal will restart the engine and the
ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) will
go off. While the engine is auto stopping,
depressing the clutch pedal will restart the
engine consuming fuel. Therefore, for fuel
economy, it is recommended to depress
the clutch pedal just before the vehicle
start.
• Without depressing the clutch pedal, the
engine may restart automatically if the
automatic engine restart conditions are
met.
For details, refer to the section, “Condi-
tions to restart the engine automatically”. CVT vehicles
1) While driving, the ENG A-STOP indica-
tor light (green) in the instrument clus-
ter comes on if the conditions allowing
the engine to be stopped automatically
(standby conditions) are met.

matically” in this section.
• To ensure safety when the engine is stopped automatically, the interior
buzzer may sound and the engine
will stall, or the engine may be
restarted.
75RM234
NOTE:
• The engine is not stopped automatically when decelerating without depressing
the brake pedal, for example, by using
engine braking.
• The engine may be stopped automati-
cally when the vehicle is stopped, even if
the engine is not stopped automatically
before stopping the vehicle (approxi-
mately 13 km/h or less).
• Electrical components, such as the navi- gation system or audio system, can be
used while the engine has been stopped
automatically, however, the air condi-
tioner switches to the ventilation posi-
tion.
• For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, airflow is limited (only
under automatic operation) when the
engine is stopped aut omatically, in order
to improve the cooling and heating per-
formance.
3) When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, regardless of whether it is
before or after stopping the vehicle, the
engine is restarted and the ENG A-STOP
indicator light (green) goes off.
• The engine is restarted automatically
if the conditions to restart the engine
automatically are met, even if the
brake pedal is depressed.
For details on the conditions for auto-
matically restarting the engine, refer
to “Conditions to restart the engine
automatically” in this section.

Operating conditions of ENG A-STOP systemStandby conditions
If all of the following conditions are met while driving, the automatic engine stop will be permitted.
• For CVT, the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) will come on.
#1: If the battery is discharged, for example, if the vehicle has not been used for a long time or electrical components, such as the navi-
gation system or audio system, have not been used for a long ti me while the engine was stopped, it may take some time until th e
system can be in standby.
#2: If any of the warning and indi cator lights affecting the ENG A-STOP system come on, the e ngine will not be stopped automati cally.
#3: The system will be in standby even though the gearshift leve r is in the “N” position, however, the engine will be stopped automati-
cally when the vehicl e is stopped, instead of when it is decelerating (approximately 13 km/ h or less) before stopping.
#4: After the ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) comes on, there may be a signal to prevent stopping the engine. In this case, the ENG
A-STOP indicator light (green) goes off when the vehicle is sto pped, and the engine is not stopped automatically. Also, if any of the
