Adjusting the Lumbar Support (if
equipped)
57L21033
Use the lumbar support switch (3) located
at the rear of the reclining switch to adjust
the force with which the seatback supports
the lumbar area of your back.
 Push the front button on the switch for
firmer support.
 Push the rear button on the switch for

Seat Position Memory System (if
equipped)Power seat (if equipped)
This function allows you to restore your
preferred preprogrammed seat position at
the touch of one of the three position but-
tons, which are provided on the top of the
switch block on the outside of the driver’s
seat. One seat position can be pro-
grammed to each button, so a total of three
different positions can be stored in mem-
ory.
How to program a seat position
57L21034
1) Adjust the seat position as desired.
2) Within 5 seconds after pressing the
memory button (4) or while pressing the
button, press one of the position but-
tons 1 – 3 (5). A buzzer will sound when
the position has been successfully pro-
grammed. NOTE:
The seat position programmed to a posi-
tion button is overwritten if you program
another seat position to the same button.
How to restore the seat to a memorized
position
1) Press the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “ON”.
2) Press the desired position button. A
buzzer will sound both when the system
starts and completes the process for
restoring the memorized position. The
seat is now automatically set to the
selected position.
NOTE:
 If you press any of the following buttons
during the process of restoring a memo-
rized position, the system stops the pro-
cess.
– Memory button
– Position button of any other number
– Any of the seat position adjusting
switches
 Restoring the seat to a memorized posi-
tion is possible only when all of the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
– The ignition mode has been changed
to “ACC” or “ON” by pressing the
engine switch.
– CVT: The gearshift lever is in the “P”
position.
Manual Transaxle: The parking brake
is applied.
– Vehicle speed is 2 mph (3 km/h) or
lower.

Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System”
in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” sec-
tion for additional details on the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Refer to “Tires” in
the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section for information on maintaining
proper tire pressure.
Brake System Warning Light
65D477
This light comes on briefly when you press
the engine switch to change the ignition
mode to “ON”. The light also comes on
under the following conditions: 1) when the
parking brake is engaged and 2) when the
fluid in the brake fluid reservoir falls below
the specified level. The light should go out
after fully releasing the parking brake, if the
fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is
adequate.
If this light and the ABS warning light stay
on, or come on simultaneously when driv-
ing, then there may be something wrong
with both the rear brake proportioning
valve function and anti-lock function of the
ABS.
If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Stop in a safe place as soon
as possible and check your tires.
 If you have a flat tire, replace it with
the spare tire. Refer to “Jacking
Instructions” in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section. Refer to
“Replacing Tires and/or Wheels”
for instructions on how to restore
normal operation of the tire pres-
sure monitoring system after you
have had a flat tire.
 If one or more of your tires is
under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure in all of your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure as
soon as possible.
Be aware that driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire can cause
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure, and may affect steering
control and brake effectiveness. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
severe injury or death.

2-71BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping on the shoulder of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive
cautiously at low speed to the nearest
dealer for repairs,
or
4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.NOTE:
Because the disc 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.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
65D529
When you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working. If the light stays on, or
comes on when driving, there may be
something wrong with the ABS.
If the ABS light and the brake system
warning light stay on, or come on simulta-
neously when driving, then there may be
something wrong with both the rear brake
proportioning valve function and anti-lock
function of the ABS.
If one of these happens, have the system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer. If the ABS becomes inoperative,
the brake system will function as an ordi-
nary brake system that has no ABS.For details of the ABS, refer to “Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS)” in the “OPERATING
YOUR VEHICLE” section.
ESP
® Warning Light
52KM133
ESP
® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
This light blinks 5 times per second when
one of the ESP
® systems other than ABS
is activated. If this light blinks, drive care-
fully.
When you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the light
comes on briefly so you can check that the
light is working. If the light stays on, or
comes on when driving and remains on,
there may be something wrong with the
ESP
® systems (other than ABS). You
should have the system inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
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.
WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
an SUZUKI dealer to inspect the
brake system.
 If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the parking
brake has been fully released.
 If the brake system warning light
does not come on when you press
the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to “ON”.
 If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.
