• 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 speci-
fied one when you drive the vehicle out-
side 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 recom-
mended cold tyre inflation pressure for
every 0.8°C difference between garage
temperature and outside temperature.
TPMS malfunction indicator
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tyre pressure warning
light. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the low tyre pressure warning light will
flash for about 75 seconds and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is not
reset even after the engine is turned off; it
remains in the ON state until the normal
conditions are restored.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the low tyre pressure warn-
ing light after replacing one or more tyres
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure the
replacement or alternation of tyres and
wheels to allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
The tyre pressure sensors can be
damaged if you do not take proper
precautions.
• We highly recommend that you
have tyres repaired or replaced by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop. The tyre pres-
sure sensors can be damaged by
installation or removal of tyres.
• Do not use liquid sealants for a flat
tyre unless your vehicle is
equipped with a flat tyre repair kit
instead of a spare tyre.
NOTICE
If the low tyre pressure warning light
comes on frequently, there may be
something wrong with one or more of
the tyres, tyre pressure sensors or
the monitoring system.
If the low tyre pressure warning light
comes on frequently, have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop.
