OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING • The ESP® may not work properly if tires or wheels other than those specified in the Owner's Manual are used. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this Owner's Manual. • The ESP® may not work properly if tires are not inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure. • The ESP® may not work properly if tires are fitted with tire chains. • The ESP® may not work properly if the tires are excessively worn. Be sure to replace tires when the tread wear indicators in the grooves appear on the tread surface. • The ESP® is not a substitute for winter tires or tire chains on a snow covered road. The ESP® indicator lights are described below: NOTE: When you disconnect and re-connect the battery, ESP® system functions other than ABS will be deactivated and the slip indicator light will blink 1 time per second. In this case, use the following procedure to reactivate the ESP® systems: 1) Drive your vehicle straight ahead without tire slippage at a speed until the slip indicator is turned off. (Drive straight for approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or more and 10 seconds or more.) 2) The slip indicator light will go out and the ESP® systems (other than ABS) will be re-activated. It may take more than few seconds before the slip indicator light goes out depending on the road surface condition. SLIP Indicator Light 66J033 When one of the ESP® systems other than ABS is activated, the SLIP indicator light in the instrument cluster blinks 5 times per second. CAUTION If the SLIP indicator light comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a malfunction of the ESP® systems (other than ABS). You should have the systems inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. NOTE: When the SLIP indicator light comes on and stays on while driving, indicating a malfunction of the ESP® systems (other than ABS), the brake system will function as an ordinary ABS with no additional ESP® functions. "ESP" Warning Light WARNING • The ESP® may not work properly if engine related parts such as the muffler are not equivalent to standard equipment or are extremely deteriorated. • Do not modify the vehicle's suspension since the ESP® may not operate correctly. 66J031 When the ESP® systems (other than ABS) have a system malfunction, the "ESP" warning light in the instrument cluster comes on. 6-13 80J22-03E
