INSTRUMENT PANEL If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. If none of the above steps have made the light turn off, your SUZUKI dealer can check the vehicle. Your SUZUKI dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that may have developed. Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or may begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the Check Engine light is on or is not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced your battery or if your battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, your SUZUKI dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. • If you're idling at a stop sign, the light may blink on and then off. • If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a moment. This is normal. WARNING Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches fire. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. Oil Pressure Light CAUTION If you have a low engine oil pressure problem, this light will stay on after you start your engine, or come on when you are driving. This indicates that your engine is not receiving enough oil. The engine could be low on oil, or could have some other oil problem. Have it fixed immediately. The oil light could also come on in three other situations: • When the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the light will come on as a check to show you it is working. The light will go out after you start the engine. If it doesn't come on with the ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it fixed right away. Operating your engine with the low oil pressure light on can result in severe engine damage which is not covered by your warranty. Fog Lamp Light If your vehicle has this feature, the fog lamps indicator light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. 3-24
