NOTE:

The information display shows the above

warning and indicator message when this

light comes on.

TPMS Limitations

The tire pressure monitoring system may

not function properly under certain circum-

stances. In the following situations, the low

tire pressure warning light may come on

and remain on or may blink.

• When you replace a flat tire with the

spare tire.

• When you include the spare tire during a

tire rotation.

• When the TPMS sensor is damaged dur-

ing a tire replacement or liquid sealants

are used to repair a flat tire.

• When the TPMS sensor’s electronic sig-

nal is disturbed in one of the following

ways:

– Electric devices or facilities using simi-

lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.

– A lot of snow or ice covers the vehicle,

in particular, around the wheels or

wheel housings.

– Snow tires or tire chains are used.

• When you use non-genuine SUZUKI

wheels or tires.

• When the pressure of any tire is too

high.

• When there is a problem with the

receiver of the keyless entry/start remote

controller.

Replacing Tires and/or Wheels

If you get a flat tire, Suzuki recommends

that you have an authorized SUZUKI

dealer mount a new tire on the wheel that

had the flat tire, and reinstall this tire on the

vehicle in place of the spare. The TPMS is

already set up to recognize the ID code of

the original wheel, and normal TPMS oper-

ation will be restored.

57L31027

NOTE:

The above message will be indicated on

the information display if the ID code is not

registered.

If you need to replace original wheels on

your vehicle, your dealer must make sure

that TPMS sensors are installed in the new

wheels and must set up the TPMS to rec-

ognize the new sensors.

CAUTION

• The tire pressure sensors can be

damaged by the installation or

removal of tires. When tires must

be repaired or replaced, we highly

recommend that you have them

repaired or replaced by an autho-

rized SUZUKI dealer. 

• Do not use liquid sealants for a flat

tire as air pressure sensors can be

damaged.

• If the low tire pressure warning

light comes on frequently, there

may be something wrong with one

of the tires or with the monitoring

system. Have your vehicle

inspected by an authorized SUZUKI

dealer.
