The alarm wiff be triggered if any person inside unlocks a door by operating the lock knob. The theft deterrent alarm system is not armed when af/ doors are locked using the key from outside, or using the door lock knobs. ff any door is not operated within approx­imately 30 seconds after the doors have been unlocked using the keyless entry system transmitter, the doors are auto­maticaf/y locked again. After the doors are locked, the theft deterrent alarm sys­tem wiff be armed in about 20 seconds if the system is in the enabled state.
How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm system Simply unlock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter. The theft deter­rent light will go out, indicating that the theft deterrent alarm system is disarmed.
How to stop the alarm Should the alarm be triggered accidentally, unlock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter or turn the ignition switch to "ON" position. The alarm will then stop.
NOTE: Even after the alarm has stopped, if you lock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter, the theft deterrent alarm system wiff be rearmed with a delay of about 20 seconds. ff you disconnect the lead-acid battery while the theft deterrent alarm system is in the armed condition or the alarm is actuaf/y in operation, the alarm will be triggered or re-triggered when the bat­tery is then reconnected, although, in the falter case, the alarm remains stopped for the period between disconnection and reconnection of the lead-acid bat­tery: Even after the alarm has stopped at the end of the predetermined operation time, it wiff be triggered again if any door is opened without disarming the theft deterrent alarm system.

Pinching prevention function
(if equipped)
The driver's window is equipped with a pinching prevention function. This function detects a foreign object that is caught in the window as it is being closed by AUTO­UP feature, which allows you to close the window without holding the window switch in UP position, and stops the window from closing to prevent damage.
A. WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win­dow entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric window when closing it. This function may not detect an object due to the size, hardness, or position of the object being caught in the closing window.
A.CAUTION
The pinching prevention function does not operate while you are holding the window switch in UP position. The pinching prevention function may not detect an object caught in the window just before the window is fully closed.
NOTE: Even if you cannot close the window by the AUTO-UP feature because there may be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function, you can close the window by holding the window switch in UP position. If you drive in extreme off-road condition, the pinching prevention function may oper­ate accidentally because the window reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa­tion When you disconnect and reconnect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the function will be deactivated. In this condi­tion, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature may remain activated. The pinching pre­vention function needs to be initialized.
BEFORE DRIVING
To initialize the pinching prevention func­tion, use the following procedure: 1) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi­
tion. 2) Open the driver's window fully by hold­ing the window switch in DOWN posi­tion. 3) Close the driver's window by holding the switch in UP position, and keep holding the switch for 2 seconds after the window is fully closed. 4) Check the driver's window to see if the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
A. WARNING
Whenever you disconnect and recon­nect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the pinching prevention function needs to be initialized. The pinching prevention function will not be activated until the initialization is completed.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not work after initialization, there might be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

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.

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.

Brake system warning light
(CD)
82K170
Three different types of operations exist depending on the vehicle's specification.
• The light comes on briefiy when the igni­tion switch is turned "ON". The light comes on when the parking brake is engaged with the ignition switch "ON". The light comes on under either or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fiuid in the brake fiuid reservoir falls below the specified level.
The light should go out after starting the engine and fully releasing the parking brake, if the fluid level in the brake fiuid reservoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the ABS warning light when the rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system fails. If the brake system warning light comes on while you are driving the vehicle, it may mean that there is something wrong with
2-41
the vehicle's brake system. If this happens:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
A WARNING
Remember that stopping distance may be longer, you may have to push harder on the pedal, and the pedal may go down farther than normal.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and stopping the vehicle on the shoul­der of the road. 3) If you determine that it is safe, drive the vehicle cautiously at low speed to the nearest a SUZUKI dealer for repairs or tow the vehicle to the nearest a SUZUKI dealer for repairs.
A WARNING
If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. If the brake system warning light does not go out after the engine has been started and the parking brake has been fully released. If the brake system warning light does not come on when the igni­tion switch is turned "ON". If the brake system warning light comes on at any time during vehi­cle operation.
NOTE: Because the brake system is self-adjust­ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake pads become worn. Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is considered normal periodic maintenance.
NOTE: Parking brake reminder buzzer A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to release the parking brake if you start the vehicle without releasing the park­ing brake. Check that the parking brake is fully released and the brake system warn­ing light turns off.
