Sorry to hear about the lights on your
Suzuki SX4’s
dashboard—however, even in high mileage cars, this does not mean you are facing a serious issue.
This table below lists some of the most common warning lights on a Suzuki dashboard:
Description of light & color
What light may mean
When to go to mechanic
Engine icon; amber
Potential issues range from the less serious (a loose gas cap) to a failing emissions system.
If tightening your gas cap doesn’t take the light off, take your SX4 to a mechanic.
Horseshoe-shaped icon with an !; amber
Low tire pressure
Check the tire pressure as soon as you can slow down. Do not continue to drive on one or more tires with low pressure.
Person with a strap over their body; red
Seat belt not on
Put on your seatbelt, and the light should go off.
Battery icon; red
Problem with battery and/or electrical system
Take to a mechanic ASAP as your Suzuki will eventually stop running if the problem is not addressed.
Oil can icon with our without wavy lines underneath; red
Oil pressure is low
STOP driving as soon as you can and check your oil levels. If you add oil and the red light remains on, bring your Suzuki to a mechanic ASAP—you can wreck your engine.
BRAKE letters or exclamation point (!) inside circles; red
Do not ignore. This indicates a serious problem with your brakes.
Safely stop the car. Tow to a mechanic if necessary. Do not continue to drive with brake problems.
Dashboard lights come on for a reason—so don’t ignore them. If you troubleshoot their cause, you can wind up saving yourself a large repair bill.
