Warning and indicator lights
NOTE: If warning and indicator lights blink or come on, the corresponding messages may be shown on the information dis­play. If your vehicle is equipped with the "Emergency road assistance -global navigation satellite system (ERA-GLON­ASS)", the information display also indi­cates warning and indicator message related to the system. For information on this message, refer to "Emergency Road Assistance -Global Navigation Satellite System (ERA-GLONASS)" in "For Rus­sia and other countries adopting ERA­GLONASS" in the "SUPPLEMENT" sec­tion.
Low tyre pressure warning light {if equipped)
{l)
52D305
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low tyre pressure warning light to inform you
2-39
when one or more of your tyres is signifi­cantly under-inflated.
When the ignition switch is turned "ON", this light comes on briefly so you can check that the light is working.
When the low tyre pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tyres is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tyre information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tyre, including the spare, should be checked at least once a month when cold and set to the recom­mended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard.
The low tyre 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 "ON" as long as the malfunction exists.
NOTE: The low tyre pressure warning light may not come on immediately if you have a sudden loss of air pressure.
A WARNING
Failure to take corrective action when the low tyre pressure warning light is not working or when it comes on and blinks while driving can lead to an accident. If the low tyre pressure warning light does not come on for 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "ON", the light or comes on and blinks while driving, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. Even if the light turns off after blinking, indi­cating that the monitoring system has recovered, you should still have the system checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

Your vehicle's lighting system is controlled by two main systems: the lighting switch and the auto-on headlight system (when the lighting switch is in "AUTO" position). The two systems work together to operate your lights as shown in the following chart:
ON: Lights ON LIGHT: When it is light around the light sensor (5). DARK: When it is dark around the light sensor (5).

BEFORE DRIVING
To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob on the end of the lever. There are four positions:
OFF (1) All lights are off.
AUTO (2) This function works when the ignition switch is turned "ON". The headlights and position lights are turned on and off auto­matically according to the amount of out­side light detected by the sensor. They go out automatically when you turn the igni­tion switch to "ACC" or "LOCK" position.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount of outside light is installed on the passen­ger's seat side instrument panel.
When headlights are turned on and the lighting control lever is in "AUTO" position, you can use the high beam assist (if equipped). For details, refer to "High beam assist" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" section.

A CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind­shield is covered with mud, ice1 or other similar substances, the head­lights and position lights may be turned on even when it is still light outside.
NOTE: Avoid covering the light sensor area of the windshield with a sticker. The sticker may impair the performance of the sen­sor and make the system unable to con­trol operation of the lights correctly. If you turned the ignition switch to "ON" position and "AUTO" position remains selected, the headlights and position lights come on automatically as it gets dark outside, even with the engine not running. Leaving the lights lit for a long time may lead to a completely dis­charged battery.

With the headlights on, push the lever for­ward to switch to the high beams (main beams) or pull the lever toward you to switch to the low beams. When the high beams (main beams) are on, a light on the instrument cluster will come on. To momentarily activate the high beams (main beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever slightly toward you and release it when you have completed the signal.

Auto-on headlight system
78RB02093
The auto-on headlight system automati­cally _turns on all lights that are operated by the lighting control lever on the steering column, when the following three condi­tions are all met.
Conditions for auto-on headlight system operation: 1) It is dark around the light sensor (5). 2) The lighting control lever is in "AUTO"
position. 3) The ignition switch is in the "ON" posi-tion.
This. system is activated by a signal from the light sensor (5) on the passenger side of instrument panel. Do not cover the sen­sor (5). Otherwise, the system will not work
correctly.
A WARNING
It takes about 5 seconds for the light sensor to react to a change in light­ing conditions. To help avoid an acci­dent due to reduced visibility, turn on your headlights before driving into a tunnel, parking structure, etc.
NOTE: The light sensor reacts even to infrared rays, so it may operate incorrectly when there are strong infrared rays.
BEFORE DRIVING
Light reminder buzzer
The interior buzzer continuously beeps if you open the driver's door without turning off the headlights and position lights. This function is triggered under the following condition: The headlights and/or position lights are on even after the ignition switch is turned
off.
The buzzer stops sounding when you turn off the headlights and position lights.
NOTE: A message is indicated on the information display in the instrument cluster while the buzzer is sounding.
Daytime running light (D.R.L.) sys­
tem
Whe_n th_e engine is started, the daytime running lights are turned on by this system.
Conditions for D.R.L. system operation 1) The engine is running. 2) Headlights and front fog light (if equipped) are off.
NOTE: Brightness of the daytime running lights is different from the brightness of the position lights, but it is not a malfunction.
