Failure of the ultrasonic sensor
When the ultrasonic sensor is faulty, the
function of the ultrasonic sensor is stopped
until the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, press the
engine switch to change the ignition mode
to LOCK (OFF) and stop the engine. Then,
restart the engine and check that the park-
ing sensor indicator light is turned off.
If the parking sensor indicator light stays
on after restarting the engine, there may
be a failure of the ultrasonic sensor. Ask an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ultrasonic sensor
inspected.
NOTE:
If the parking sensor indicator light comes
on and there may be a failure of the ultra-
sonic sensor, the system will stop. How-
ever, there would not be a problem to
normal driving.
When the ultrasonic sensor detects any
foreign object
When the ultrasonic sensor detects any
foreign object such as dirt, snow or ice
which attaches to the sensor, the indication
will be displayed on the information display
as the following chart shows. When you
remove the attached foreign object, the
ultrasonic sensor will properly function
again. While any foreign object is detected,
the ultrasonic sensor will temporarily stop
functioning. Even though no foreign object
is attached to the ultrasonic sensor and the
following indication is displayed, there may
be a possibility of sensor abnormality. Ask
an authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ultrasonic sensor
inspected.
