A. WARNING
The load-carrying capacity of your tyres is reduced at lower inflation pressures. If your tyres are even moderately under-inflated, the load on the tyres may exceed the load-car­rying capacity of the tyres, which could lead to tyre failure. The low tyre pressure warning light will not alert you to this condition, because it only comes on when one or more of your tyres becomes significantly under­
inflated. Check and adjust your tyre pressure at least once a month. Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAIN­TENANCE" section.
A. WARNING
Continuing to drive with the low tyre pressure warning light on can lead to an accident, resulting in severe injury or death. If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on and stays on, reduce your speed and avoid abrupt steering and braking. Be aware that driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre can cause the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure, and may affect steering control and brake effective­ness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible and check your
tyres. • If you have a flat tyre, replace it with the spare tyre (if equipped). Refer to "Jacking instructions11 in "EMERGENCY SERVICE" section for the tyre replacement method. Also refer to "Replacing tyres and/ or wheels" for instructions on how to restore normal operation of the TPMS after you have had a flat tyre. If one or more of your tyres is under-inflated, adjust the inflation pressure of all tyres to the recom­mended inflation pressure as soon as possible.
BEFORE DRIVING
Refer to "Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHI­CLE" section for additional details on the tyre pressure monitoring system. Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTE­NANCE" section for information on main­taining proper tyre pressure.

A WARNING
Continuing to drive with the low tyre pressure warning light on can lead to an accident, resulting in severe injury or death. If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on and stays on, reduce your speed and avoid abrupt steering and braking. Be aware that driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre can cause the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure, and may affect steering control and brake effective­ness. Stop in a safe place as soon as possible and check your tyres. If you have a flat tyre, replace it with the spare tyre (if equipped). Refer to "Jacking instructions" in "EMERGENCY SERVICE" section for the tyre replacement method. Also refer to "Replacing tyres and/ or wheels" for instructions on how to restore normal operation of the TPMS after you have had a flat tyre. • If one or more of your tyres is under-inflated, adjust the inflation pressure in all of your tyres to the recommended inflation pressure as soon as possible.
The low tyre pressure warning light can come on due to normal causes such as natural air leakage and pressure changes caused by changes in temperature or atmospheric pressure. Adjusting the air pressure in the tyres to the pressure shown on the tyre information placard should cause the low tyre pressure warn­ing light to turn off.
To make the low tyre pressure warning light go off, adjust the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold, and drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes. When the adjusted tyre pressure is recog­nized, the low tyre pressure warning light will go off and the information display shows the current tyre pressure (if you select the TPMS monitor (if equipped)).

NOTICE
If the low tyre pressure warning light does not go off even when you drive for more than 10 minutes after adjust­ing the cold tyre pressure, there may be a problem with the TPMS. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
If the light turns on again shortly after adjusting the pressure in your tyres. you may have a flat tyre. If you have a flat tyre, replace it with the spare tyre (if equipped). Refer to "Jacking instructions" in "EMER­GENCY SERVICE"" section. Refer to "Replacing tyres and/or wheels" for instruc­tions on how to restore normal operation of the tyre pressure monitoring system after you have had a flat tyre.

NOTE: For a certain type of instrument cluster only, the information display shows the above warning and indicator message when this light comes on. When the tyre pressure is adjusted in high altitude areas, the low tyre pressure light may not turn off even after tyre pressure adjustment. In this case, adjust the inflation pressure to a slightly higher pressure than the one shown on the tyre informaUon placard. The low tyre pressure warning light may turn off temporarily after coming on. This could be due to increase of surface tem­perature after long distance driving or traveling to a high temperature area. Even if the tyre pressure warning light turns off after coming on, check the infla­tion pressure of all tyres.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
To reduce the chance that the low tyre pressure warning light will come on due to normal changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is important to check and adjust the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. If you check tyres after driving, they are warm. Even if the tyre pressure seems to be good in this condition, it could fall below the specified pressure when tyres cool down. Also, if tyres are inflated to the specified pressure in a warm garage, the tyre pressure could fall below the speci­fied one when you drive the vehicle out­side in very cold temperature. If you adjust the tyre pressure in a garage that is warmer than the outside temperature, you should add 1 kPa to the recom­mended cold tyre pressure for every O.B'C difference between garage tem­perature and outside temperature.
