Auto-on headlight system
61MM0A097
The Auto-on headlight system automati-
cally turns on all lights that are operated by
the lighting control lever on the steering
column, when the following three condi-
tions are all met.
Conditions for Auto-on headlight system
operation:
1) It is dark around the light sensor (5).
2) The lighting control lever is in the
"AUTO" position.
3) You press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to "ON".
This system is operated by a signal from
the light sensor (5) on the front windshield.
Do not cover the sensor (5). If you do, the
system will not work correctly.
WARNING
It takes about 5 seconds for the light
sensor to react to a change in light-
ing conditions. To help avoid an acci-
dent due to reduced visibility, turn on
your headlights before driving into a
tunnel, parking structure or the like.
NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared
rays, so it may operate incorrectly when
there are strong infrared rays.
Reprogramming the automatic light
function
The following settings of the automatic
light function can be customized to your
preference. Please contact an authorized
SUZUKI dealer if you want the function
reprogrammed.
Sensitivity of the light sensor
The amount of outside light needed to turn
the lights on and off is pre-set at the fac-
tory. The sensitivity of the light sensor can
be adjusted so that the lights are turned on
and off when it is:
• lighter outside than the pre-set condition,
or
• darker outside than the pre-set condition
BEFORE DRIVING
Rain-triggered automatic lighting oper-
ation
The setting of the auto-on headlight sys-
tem can be changed to make it turn on the
headlights:
• when the rain sensor senses heavy rain-
fall
• when the rain sensor senses light and
heavy rainfall (in coordination with rain-
sensing wiper operation), or
• independently from rain-sensing wiper
operation.
Light Reminder Buzzer
The interior buzzer continuously beeps if
you open the driver's door without turning
off the headlights and position lights. This
function is triggered under the following
condition:
The headlights and/or position lights are
on even after the ignition switch is turned
off, or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to "LOCK"
(OFF).
The buzzer stops sounding when you turn
off the headlights and position lights.
NOTE:
A message is indicated on the information
display in the instrument cluster while the
buzzer is sounding.
