WARNING
(Continued)
• Failure to take corrective action
when the low tyre pressure warn-
ing 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
engine switch is pressed to change
the ignition mode to ON, or comes
on and blinks while driving, have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop. Even if the
light turns off after blinking, indi-
cating that the monitoring system
has recovered, you should still
have the system checked by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop.

WARNING
(Continued)
• 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 inflation
pressure at least once a month.
Refer to “Tyres” (P.9-34).

WARNING
(Continued)
• 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 signifi-
cantly under-inflated tyre can
cause the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effec-
tiveness. Stop 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 instructions”
(P.10-22) for the tyre replacement
method. Also refer to “Replacing
tyres and/or wheels” (P.5-166) for
instructions on how to restore
normal operation of the TPMS
after you have had a flat tyre.
