Keys
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical
keys. 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 ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position. If you need to make spare
keys, see your 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.

If the immobilizer system light blinks when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,
the engine will not start.
NOTE:
If this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position, then turn it back to the
“ON” position.
If the light still blinks with the ignition switch
turned to the “ON” position, there may be
something wrong with your key or with theimmobilizer system. Ask your SUZUKI
dealer to inspect the system.
NOTE:
 If you lose your immobilizer ignition key,
see your SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible 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
SUZUKI, or the engine may not be
started because they may interfere with
your SUZUKI’s immobilizer system.
 If you attach any metal objects to the
immobilizer key, it may not start the
engine.

 The turn signal lights will flash twice.
 If the interior light switch is in the
“DOOR” position, the interior light will

onds after the “UNLOCK” button (2) is
operated, the doors will automatically lock

keyless entry system transmitter is about
5 m (16 ft.), but this can vary depending
on the surroundings, especially near
other transmitting devices such as radio
towers or CB (Citizen’s Band) radios.
 The door locks cannot be operated with
the transmitter, if the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition switch.
 When any door is open, the door locks
can be operated only unlock with the

If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on when the
ignition switch is first turned to the “ON”
position, or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or
comes on while driving, the air bag system
(or the seat belt pretensioner system) may
not work properly. Have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
Front Air Bags

The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is
located behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the air bag covers to identify
the location of the air bags.

How the System WorksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration repre-
sents a severe frontal crash, the controller
will trigger the inflators. The inflators inflate
the appropriate 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 against a front air bag. 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 or dashboard. Please refer
to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the
“Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems”
in this section for details on proper seat
and seat belt adjustments.

WARNING
 The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. In these situations, the out-
of-position occupant would be too
close to an inflating air bag, and
may suffer severe injury.
 Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
