Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the light must be reset to monitor
the next oil change timing properly. To
reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer.
NOTICE
Severe engine damage will result, if
you keep operating the engine after
this light blinks.
Change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately when the light blinks.
NOTE:
• Note that engine oil degrades faster
under the following conditions:
– Mainly urban use of the vehicle,
requiring more frequent regeneration
®
of the DPF
;
– Use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time
to reach its regular operating tem-
perature;
– Repeated interruptions to the regen-
eration process signaled by the DPF
warning light coming on.
• Since special procedures and tools are
required, ask your authorized SUZUKI
dealer to reset the oil life monitoring sys-
tem for diesel engine.
