INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Brake System Warning Light
Three different types of operations exist
depending on the vehicle's specification.
1) The light comes on briefly when the
ignition switch is turned to "ON" position
or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON.The
light comes on when the parking brake
is engaged with the ignition mode ON.
2) The light comes on when under either
or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
4-31
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (proportioning valve
function) of the ABS system fails.
If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle's brake system. If this happens,
you should:

1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
WARNING
Remember that stopping distance
may be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping on the shoulder of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive the
vehicle cautiously at low speed to the
nearest an authorized SUZUKI dealer
or a qualified workshop for repairs or
tow the vehicle to the nearest an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop for repairs.
WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
an authorized SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop to inspect the
brake system.
• If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the engine
has been started and the parking
brake has been fully released.
• If the brake system warning light
does not come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned "ON" or the
engine switch is pressed to change
the ignition mode to ON.
• If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.
NOTE:
Because the brake system is self-adjust-
ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake
pads become worn. Replenishing the
brake fluid reservoir is considered normal
periodic maintenance.
NOTE:
(Parking Brake Reminder Buzzer)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to release the parking brake if you
start the vehicle without releasing the park-
ing brake. Make sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake sys-
tem warning light turns off.
