INSTRUMENT PANEL Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can still work and you will be able to stop the vehicle. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. WARNING If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately ask your SUZUKI dealer 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 ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position. • If the brake system warning light comes on at any time during vehicle operation. If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See "Towing Your Vehicle" in section 4. Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light If your vehicle has an anti-lock brake system, the ABS warning light comes on briefly when you turn the ignition ON. This indicates that the system is performing a self-check and the indicator bulb is operating properly. The light should go out after several seconds. Contact your SUZUKI dealer for repairs if the ABS warning light does any of the following: • Does not come on when the ignition is turned ON. • Does not go out after several seconds. • Comes on while driving. If the ABS warning light comes on while driving, your vehicle may have an ABS malfunction. Although your vehicle will operate normally without ABS, have your SUZUKI dealer check the system and make any necessary repairs as soon as possible. This light should come on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If it doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem. When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will also come on when you set your parking brake. The light will stay on if your parking brake doesn't release fully. If the lights stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem. WARNING If the brake system warning light comes on, 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. 3-21
