Manufacturer figures for the Suzuki Vitara, normal load, tyres cold. If the label on your door pillar or fuel flap says something different, go with that.
Resetting the tyre pressure warning light on your Suzuki
Suzukis with a warning system (Swift, Vitara, S-Cross, Ignis, Jimny and others) mostly have sensors in the wheels.
- Inflate all four tyres to the cold pressure on the door-pillar label.
- Drive at a steady speed, around 15 mph or more. The warning should clear without any button.
When to reset: No reset needed. After new wheels or sensors, allow 15–20 minutes of steady driving.
We couldn't check an official Suzuki UK handbook for this, so do check yours.
Menu names vary by model and year, so check your handbook if yours looks different. More in what the warning light means.

Put your reg in and we'll show the figures for your exact car, including the wheel size it left the factory on.
What tyre pressure should a Vitara have?
33 psi at the front and 33 psi at the rear (2.3 and 2.3 bar) on the standard 16-inch wheels, with the tyres cold. Larger optional wheels use slightly different figures — see the table above.
Should I use a higher pressure when the car is loaded?
The manufacturer gives one figure for this car, so no. If you're carrying a full load for a long motorway run, the label on the door pillar may show a higher figure — follow that if it does.
What tyre size does the Vitara use?
215/60R16 or 215/55R17, depending on the wheels it was ordered with. The size is on the tyre's sidewall, e.g. 235/40R18.
Check them cold. Pressures are set for tyres that haven't been driven more than a mile or two. After a run they read 3–4 psi high.
Once a month, and before a long trip. Tyres lose about 1 psi a month on their own.
The sticker wins. If your car's door-pillar or fuel-flap label says something different, go with that — it knows your exact spec.
