“ESP” (Electronic Stability
Program) Warning Light

66J031

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working. If
the light stays on, or comes on when driv-
ing, there may be something wrong with
the ESP

systems (other than ABS). You

should have the system inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer.

For details of the ESP

systems, refer to

“Electronic Stability Program (ESP

)” in

the “OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” sec-
tion.

NOTE:
The information display shows the warning
and indicator message when this light
comes on.

“ESP OFF” Indicator Light

66J032

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, this light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working.

When the “ESP OFF” switch is pushed to
turn off the ESP

systems (other than

ABS), the “ESP OFF” light comes on and
stays on.

NOTE:
• If the vehicle speed is greater than

approximately 30 km/h (19 mph), the
ESP

systems (other than ABS) will turn

on automatically and the light will go out.

• When the transfer switch (if equipped) is

turned to the “4L LOCK” position, the
ESP

systems (other than ABS) will be

canceled automatically. The light will
come on and stay on.

• If the ESP

systems operate continu-

ously such as when driving on slippery
roads, the traction control functions of
the ESP

systems may be canceled

temporarily to avoid overheating the
brake pads, and the light will come on.
After a short period of time, the ESP

systems (other than ABS) will turn on
automatically and the light will go out.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a hill

descent control system and a hill hold
control system, these systems will not be
turned off when the “ESP OFF” switch is
pushed to turn off the ESP

systems.
