Electric power steering light
79J039
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 this light comes on while driving, the
power steering system may not work prop-
erly. Have the system inspected by your
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
The following steering wheel operations
may gradually take more effort while park-
ing or driving at a very low speed. This is
not a malfunction of the steering system,
but the power steering control system lim-
its the power assist in order to prevent it
from overheating.
• The steering wheel is operated veryoften.
• The steering wheel is kept in a fully turned position for a long while.
When the power steering control system
cools down, the powe r steering system will
return to its original condition. However, repeating these operations could
cause damage to the power steering sys-
tem.
NOTE:
If the power steering system does not work
properly, it will require greater effort to
steer, but you still will be able to steer.
NOTE:
If the steering is operated, you may hear
noise caused by electric power steering
operation. This is normal and indicates that
the power steering system works properly.
High engine coolant temperature warning light (red color)
54G344
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 this light blinks while
driving, it means the engine is running hot.
Avoid driving conditions that may lead to
actual overheating. If the light stays on
without blinking, then the engine is over-
heating. Follow the instructions in “Engine
trouble: Overheating” in the “EMER-
GENCY SERVICE” section.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.

2-113BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Low engine coolant temperature light (blue color)
54G344
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 and stays on if the engine is
cold, and goes off after the engine warms
up.
If this light still stays on after the engine
warms up, there is a problem with the sys-
tem.
Have your vehicle inspected by your
SUZUKI dealer.
Oil change request light(if equipped)
79JM007
Your vehicle has the oil life monitoring sys-
tem and related oil change request light
that alerts you to change the engine oil and
oil filter.
When this light comes on or blinks, change
engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine oil
and oil filter, refer to “Changing engine oil
and filter” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON so you
can check that light is working.
If either of odometer reading or time is
reached to the value which is set by the
system, this light comes on when the igni-
tion switch or engine switch is in ON posi-
tion. In addition, the message is shown on
the information display to tell you it is nec-
essary to change the engine oil and oil fil-ter. When the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, and the oil life monitoring system
is reset, this light will go out.
Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the light must be reset to monitor
the next oil change timing properly. The
light will go out after the reset. For the
resetting procedure, r
efer to “Information
display” in this section.
NOTE:
This light is used to facilitate the oil and oil
filter change according to the maintenance
schedule.
NOTICE
Severe engine damage will result, if
you keep operating the engine after
this light comes on.
Change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately when the light blinks.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
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.

• Be careful when overtaking othervehicles. Allow enough room for
your trailer before changing lanes,
and use turn signal lights properly
in advance.
• Slow down and shift into a lower gear before you reach long or steep
downhill grades. It is hazardous to
attempt downshifting while you are
descending a hill.
• Do not step on the brake pedal strongly. This could cause the
brakes to over-heat resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Use
engine braking as much as possi-
ble.
• Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep hills. Pay attention to your
engine temperature. If the high
engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light (red color) indicates over-
heating, pull off the road and stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine trouble: Overheating” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When parking your vehicle and con-
nected trailer, always use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have another person place wheel
chocks under the wheels of the
vehicle and the trailer while you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual transaxle – turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or
first gear.
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position indicator in the instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle is engaged in 1st or
reverse, then turn off the engine.
CVT – shift into “P” (Park) and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress the clutch and start the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake, and slowly pull away from
the chocks.
3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and hold them.
4) Have another person remove the
chocks.
