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.

4) Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" posi­tion to stop the engine and to unlock the steering wheel.
NOTICE
The steering column lock is not strong enough to withstand shocks transmitted from the front wheels during towing.
5) Make sure the front wheels are facing straight forward and secure the steering wheel with a steering wheel clamping device designed for towing service.

Engine trouble: Starter does
not operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to "START" position with the headlights turned on to determine the lead-acid battery condition. If the headlights go excessively dim or go off, it usually means that either the lead-acid battery is discharged or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or correct battery terminal con­tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi­cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Does not start
Make sure that your vehicle has enough · fuel and battery. If the engine does not start under very cold condition, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor and hold it while crank­ing the engine. Refer to "Starting engine" in operating your vehicle section. If the engine still does not start have your vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer. Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating or the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates over­heating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off or the indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between "H" and "C".
A WARNING
If you see or hear escaping steam, stop the vehicle in a safe place and immediately turn off the engine to cool it. Do not open the hood when steam is present. When the steam can no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until it stops boiling before you proceed.
