On a US version '97 (OBD2) there isn't one. They were only on the earlier OBD1 versions. You can reset it by removing the dome fuse or disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a minute. But, you should get a scan tool & retrieve the codes 1st... just clearing the code won't fix it.

The SES switch was only on US models so if its a Vit then it won't have one.

Thanks for the help, i was wondering why i couldnt find it  :-\ haha. Ive tried 3 scanners to try get the code but none pick up the computer so i have to go to genuine suzuki dealer to get it scaned. I was gona reset it and see if the fault would come back on, Im pretty sure the fault is either a O2 sensor or air flow meter issue. thanks again for the help
