OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE How the ABS Works WARNING If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument panel comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. If this happens: 1) Pull off the road and stop carefully. 2) Press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to "LOCK" (OFF) and then start the engine again. If the warning light comes on briefly then turns off, the system is normal. If the warning light still stays on, have the system inspected by your SUZUKI dealer immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. WARNING If the ABS warning light (1) and the Brake system warning light (2) on the instrument panel simultaneously stay on or come on when driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. This could cause the rear wheels to skid or the vehicle to spin during braking on a slippery road or hard braking on a dry paved road. If both warning lights come on, drive carefully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible, and ask your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself. WARNING The ABS may not work properly if tires or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual. 3-30
