EMERGENCY SERVICE If the Starter Does Not Operate 1) Try turning the ignition switch to the "START" position with the headlights turned on to determine the battery condition. If the headlights go excessively dim or go off, it usually means that either the battery has run down or battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the battery or correct battery terminal contact if necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehicle inspected by your authorized SUZUKI dealer. If the Engine is Flooded If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it may be hard to start. If this happens, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. (Do not operate the starter motor for more than 15 seconds). If the Engine Overheats The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light in the instrument cluster glows red during driving: 1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Let the engine run at the normal idle speed for a few minutes until the engine is cooled down to the normal temperature. You can determine the engine temperature is normal by either condition below: - Both High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light and Low Engine Coolant Temperature Light have gone off. - Low Engine Coolant Temperature Light is lit in blue, and High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light has gone off. See "High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light" and "Low Engine Coolant Temperature Light" in the INDEX for further information. 10-6
