TPMS Limitations
The tyre pressure monitoring system may
not function properly under certain circum-
stances. In the following situations, the low
tyre pressure warning light may come on
and remain on or may blink.
• When you replace a flat tyre with the
spare tyre.
• When you include a spare tyre during a
tyre rotation.
• When the TPMS sensor is damaged
during a tyre replacement or liquid seal-
ants are used to repair a flat tyre.
• When the electronic signal of TPMS sen-
sor is disturbed in one of the following
ways:
– Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
– A metallic film that may cause radio
wave interference is attached on the
window.
– A lot of snow or ice covers the vehicle,
in particular, around the wheels or
wheel housings.
– Snow tyres that are not installed with
genuine TPMS sensors or snow
chains are used.
• When you use non-genuine SUZUKI
wheels or tyres.
• When the pressure of any tyre is too
high.
• When there is a problem with the
receiver of the TPMS controller.
TPMS Setting
You can set one of the initial value of tyre
pressure below that is indicated on the tyre
information label.
• Comfort Mode
• Load Mode
For details on how to set the mode, refer to
“Setting Mode (for Vehicles with Tyre Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS))” in
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Replacing Tyres and/or Wheels
If you got a flat tyre and replaced it with the
spare tyre, SUZUKI recommends that you
have a SUZUKI dealer mount a new tyre
on the wheel that had the flat tyre. The
TPMS is already set up to recognize the ID
code of the original wheel, and normal
TPMS operation will be restored.
If you need to replace any wheels on your
vehicle, a SUZUKI dealer must check that
TPMS sensors are installed in the new
wheels and must set up the TPMS to rec-
ognize the new sensors.
NOTE:
A TPMS sensor is not installed in the spare
tyre. You should use the spare tyre only in
an emergency situation, and should
replace the spare tyre as soon as possible
to restore normal TPMS operation.
WARNING
If the loading weight has changed,
adjust the tyre pressure according to
the tyre information label and set the
initial value via the information dis-
play. If the loading weight, tyre pres-
sure and initial value do not match,
the tyre pressure monitoring system
will not function properly.
WARNING
Use of tyres or wheels not recom-
mended by SUZUKI can result in fail-
ure of the TPMS.
When replacing tyres and wheels,
use only tyres and wheels recom-
mended by SUZUKI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehicle.
Refer to “Tyres” in “INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE” section for
additional information.
