Re:Re:Re:Killing the squirrel alert on a Gen.4.

You are actually talking about a different thing, you sent me on the wrong track with Squirrel which I use to describe a car fidgeting around.

You are talking about the dual sensor hazard detection. Unlike the TC/ESP I don't believe you can permanently switch it off. However it's hazard perception or "Calm down Gerald" as it is known in our family, does have an interesting characteristic. Gerald, our early SZ5, panics at everything and cries " we are all doomed" if a leaf crosses it's path. Geraldine, our late model LCV, drives like it's on Mogadon, it's calm, relaxed and rarely panics. In Geraldine, which is our daily drive and is out every day, she panics around once per month. Whilst I don't drive Gerald very often, he panics virtually every time I have been in it.

There is no bulletin on this in the Suzuki manual but there is an adjustment against a printed Lidar target. It might be worth getting a dealer to check the Lidar aim.

Further reading of the workshop manual

The TC/ESP disable link apparently ALSO disables the Dual sensor Hazard perception!!

There are videos and links out on the Internet on how to disable it and also how to make/purchase a switch. As you are disabling a safety feature  I will leave you to google the links rather than me publishing them.

 

And people wonder why I didn't want a gen4. My TC warning is just a light so is the tpms warning and the collision avoidance system is inside my head. Good luck with all your electronic stuff, especially in the future when it starts going wrong because a sensor is intermittent.

But you are going to run over a lot of Squirrels with you flat tyres 
Not a fan of gizmos myself, but it's an unavoidable eventuality of nanny states and laws.

And the Gen4, still has a lot less tech than most cars of the same age.
