Keys
51KM024
Your vehicle comes with a pair of keys.
The key(s) may or may not be equipped
with a transmitter depending on model
variant. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
One key can open all of the locks on the
vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on
the keys. Keep the tag (if equipped) in a
safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
Write the number below for your future ref-
erence.
Immobilizer System
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
which has an electronic identification code
programmed into it. The key communi-
cates the identification code to the vehicle
when the key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. If you need to make spare keys, see
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle
must be programmed with the correct iden-
tification code for the spare keys. A key
made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
54G003
If the immobilizer system light (1) blinks
when the ignition switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion, there may be something wrong with
your key or with the immobilizer system.
Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the system.NOTE:
• If you lose your immobilizer ignition key,
see your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as
soon as possible to have the lost one
deactivated, then have the new key
made by them.
• If you own other vehicles with immobi-
lizer keys, keep those keys away from
the ignition switch when using your
MARUTI SUZUKI, or the engine may not
be started because they may interfere
with your MARUTI SUZUKI’s immobi-
lizer system.
• If you attach any metal objects to the
immobilizer key, it may not start the
engine.
KEY NUMBER:
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
The immobilizer key is a sensitive
electronic instrument. To avoid dam-
aging the immobilizer key:
• Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as
on the dashboard under direct sun-
light.

You may find this label on the sun visor.Please refer to the “Seat Belts and Child
Restraint Systems” section in this section
for details on securing your child.
Door Lock Canceller System
(if equipped)
If SRS Airbag system is activated all doors
are unlocked automatically.
NOTE:
In case door lock wiring and/or motor are
damaged, doors may not unlock automati-
cally.
How the system works
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. The infla-
tors inflate the air bags with nitrogen or
argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a
cushion for your head and upper body. The
air bag inflates and deflates so quickly that
you may not even realize that it has acti-vated. The air bag will neither hinder your
view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area. Also, upon inflation, a loud
noise will occur and some powder and
smoke will be released. These conditions
are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in
the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some
air bag components may be hot for a while
after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel. Please refer to the “Front
Seat” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in this
section for details on proper seat and seat
belt adjustments.
WA R N I N G
Do not use a restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an airbag in front of it.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If the AIR BAG light in the instrument
cluster ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may be
wrong with the air bag system. If this
ever happens, have the vehicle ser-
viced immediately, because the air
bags may not offer the protection for
which they were designed.
