pressure SUZUKI JIMNY 2020 Owner's Manual

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.
61MM0A198
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.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
TPMS malfunction indicator
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com­bined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for about 75 seconds and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse­quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal­function exists.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is not reset even after the engine is turned off; it remains in the ON state until the normal conditions are restored.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi­nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tell­tale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure the replacement or alternation of tyres and wheels to allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTICE
The tyre pressure sensors can be damaged if you do not take proper precautions.
We highly recommend that you have tyres repaired or replaced by a SUZUKI dealer. The tyre pressure sensors can be damaged by instal­lation or removal of tyres. • Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tyre unless your vehicle is equipped with a flat tyre repair kit instead of a spare tyre.
NOTICE
If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on frequently, there may be something wrong with one or more of the tyres, tyre pressure sensors or the monitoring system.
If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on frequently, have your vehi~ cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

NOTE: For a cerlain type of instrument cluster only, the information display shows the above warning and indicator message when this light comes on.

TPMS limitations
The tyre pressure monitoring system may not function properly under certain circum­stances. In the following situations, the low tyre pressure warning light may come on and remain on or may blink. When you replace a flat tyre with the spare tyre. When you include a spare tyre during a tyre rotation. When the TPMS sensor is damaged during a tyre replacement or liquid seal­ants are used to repair a flat tyre. When the electronic signal of TPMS sen­sor is disturbed in one of the following ways: -Electric devices or facilities using simi­lar radio wave frequencies are nearby. -A metallic film that may cause radio wave interference is attached on the window. -A lot of snow or ice covers the vehicle, in particular, around the wheels or wheel housings. -Snow tyres that are not installed with genuine TPMS sensors or snow chains are used.
When you use non-genuine SUZUKI wheels or tyres. When the pressure of any tyre is too high. When there is a problem with the receiver of the TPMS controller.

78RB03019
4) The display shows current tyre pres­sure. NOTE: If the low tyre pressure warning light comes on, the information display will be switched to "Tyre Press" display and the corresponding tyre pressure indication blinks to alert you which tyre(s) is(are) low pressure. The display may not show the tyre pres­sure for about 10 minutes after the vehi­cle begins to move. This is because the TPMS system learns the tyre pressure within this 10 minutes. The display will show the tyre pressure after 10 minutes pass.

If you stop the vehicle and turn the igni­tion switch to "LOCK" position, and leave it for 20 minutes or more, tyre pressure wi/1 be reset and will be indicated as 0 kPa when the engine is restarted. In this case, the current tyre pressure indication will recover after driving for a while. However, if any of tyre pressures has been detected as low pressure before stopping the engine, the tyre pressure indication may not recover and may be indicated as "---".

A WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. • Check that your tyres are in good condition and always maintain the specified tyre pressure. Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) Do not use tyres other than those specified by SUZUKI. Never use dif­ferent sizes or types of tyres on the front and rear wheels. For informa­tion regarding the specified tyres, refer to the tyre information label located on the driver's door lock pillar. Never use oversized tyres or spe~ cial shock absorbers and springs to raise uack up) your vehicle. This will change the handling character­istics. Oversized tyres may also rub against the fender over bumps, causing vehicle damage, drive train damage or tyre failure. After driving through water, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have main­tained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effective­ness.
DRIVING TIPS
When encountering a flooded area
80J042
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep puddle. If driving in a flooded area is unavoidable, go slowly in the lowest gear. In case that you have driven in a flooded area, stop the vehicle in a safe place while checking the brake effectiveness. Then, ask a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work­shop to check the following inspection items. Function of brake Function of electrical components Changes of oil level and quality for engine, transmission and differential. In case that the oil is turbid whitely, water has been mixed in the oil and an oil change is required. Lubricant condition of the bearings, sus­pension joints, etc.

A WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions for on-road and off-road driving. Driver and passengers should wear seat belts at all times. Do not let anyone else drive your vehicle unless they are also aware of the vehicle characteristics and handling differences described in this section. Avoid loaning your vehicle to any• one unless you accompany them. Make sure your tyres are in good condition and always maintain the specified tyre pressure. Refer to "Tyres" in the "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. Do not use tyres other than those specified by SUZUKI. Never use dif• ferent sizes or types of tyres on the front and rear wheels. For informa• lion regarding the specified tyres, refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS" section. Never use oversized tyres or spe­cial shock absorbers and springs to raise uack up) your vehicle. This will raise the center of gravity of the vehicle and change its handling characteristics. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) After driving through water, mud, or sandy ground, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their nor• mal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their nor• mal effectiveness. After extended operation in mud, sand, or water, have the brakes, bearings and joint parts etc. inspected by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
DRIVING TIPS
Running-in
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil• ity of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. • After starting, do not race the engine. Warm ii up gradually. • Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed. Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts. Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km (200 miles) of driving. Do not drive slowly with the !rans• mission in a high gear. Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds. Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper• ation.

Improving fuel economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you park your vehicle for more than one minute, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached oper­ating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts F~st starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop­ping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Drive at a constant speed that road and traffic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
EXAMPLE
60A183
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting m decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load is, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Unload any unneces­sary luggage or cargo.
Keep tyre pressures correct Under-infiation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased rolling resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres infiated to the cor­rect pressure shown in the label on driver's door lock pillar.
DRIVING TIPS
Highway driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: • Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stopping prnnt to allow for the extra stopping dis­tance. On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehi­cle's tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle during hydroplaning can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road sur­face is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex­pected buffeting, which can occur at the exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
