trunk release handle located inside the
trunk on the underside of the trunk lid. This
handle will glow following exposure to light.
The trunk can be opened from the inside
by pulling the release handle down.
WARNING
It can be dangerous to drive with the
trunk lid open because carbon mon-
oxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can’t see or smell CO. It
can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open or if electrical wiring or
other cable connections must pass
through the seal between the body
and the trunk lid:
 Make sure all other windows are
shut.
 Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that
will force outside air into your vehi-
cle. See “Climate Control System”
in the Index.
 If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
WARNING
Never operate the remote trunk
release button while your vehicle is
moving. An open trunk lid obscures
your rear view. That can result in a
collision causing damage to your
vehicle or other property, personal
injury, or even death.

Theft-Deterrent SystemsVehicle theft is big business, especially in
some cities. Although your vehicle has a
number of theft-deterrent features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.Theft-Deterrent SystemYour vehicle may have a theft-deterrent
system.
Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
and remove the key from the ignition. If
the key is inserted in the ignition switch,
the transmitter will not operate the theft-
deterrent system.
2) Close the doors, the windows, the
hood, and the trunk. Make sure the win-
dows are closed, as the system can be
activated even if the windows are open.
3) Lock the doors using the remote key-
less entry transmitter. The transmitter
must be used to activate the theft-deter-
rent system.
– The LED on the transmitter will flash
once.
– All of the doors will lock.
– The hazard warning lamps will flash
once and the horn will chirp.
– The theft-deterrent mode will activate.– The security light (A) will flash once
every 0.8 seconds to indicate that the
theft-deterrent system is armed. The
security light is located on the driver’s
door lock.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident,
do the following:
 Lock the vehicle with the key or the man-
ual door lock after the doors are closed if
you don’t want to arm the theft-deterrent
system.
 Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front
door with the key or use the remote key-
less entry transmitter. Pressing the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter disables the theft-deter-
rent system. Unlocking a door any other
way will activate the alarm when a door
or the trunk is opened.The theft-deterrent system will not arm
when you lock the doors using the key or
the manual door lock. It arms only when
you use the remote keyless entry transmit-
ter.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, do the following:
 Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front
door using the key, or
 Press the Unlock button on the transmit-
ter.
– The LED on the transmitter will flash
once.
– All of the doors will unlock.
– The hazard warning lamps will flash
twice.
– The theft-deterrent mode will deacti-
vate.
How the System Alarm is Activated
If a door or the trunk is opened without the
key or the remote keyless entry transmitter,
the horn will sound and the lamps will flash
for up to 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system won’t arm if you
lock the doors with the key or use the man-
ual door lock. It activates only if you use
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
If the door is not opened or if the engine is
not started within 30 seconds after disarm-
ing the system with the transmitter, all of
the doors will automatically lock and the
theft-deterrent mode will reactivate.

To open the fuel filler door, pull up on the
fuel filler door release lever located on the
floor to the left of the driver’s seat.
The fuel cap is located on the passenger’s
side of your vehicle.While refueling, hang the tethered cap
inside the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the
left (counterclockwise).
Be careful not to spill fuel. Don’t top off or
overfill your tank, and wait a few seconds
after you’ve finished pumping before you
remove the nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See “Clean-
ing the Outside of Your Vehicle” in this sec-
tion.
When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it
to the right (clockwise) until you hear a
clicking sound. Make sure you fully install
the cap. The diagnostic system can deter-
mine if the fuel cap has been left off or is
improperly installed. This would allow fuel
to evaporate into the atmosphere. See
“Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in section 3.
N4U5041A
WARNING
If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Fuel can spray out on you if you open
the fuel cap too quickly. This spray
can happen if your tank is nearly full,
and is more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and wait for
any “hiss” noise to stop. Then
unscrew the cap all the way.
WARNING
If a fire starts while you’re refueling,
don’t remove the nozzle. Shut off the
flow of fuel by shutting off the pump
or by notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
CAUTION
If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to
get a genuine SUZUKI cap or its
equivalent. Your SUZUKI dealer can
get one for you. If you get the
improper type, it may not fit properly.
This may cause your malfunction
indicator lamp to light and may dam-
age your fuel tank and emissions
system. See “Malfunction Indicator
Lamp” in the Index.

Power Windows and Other Power
OptionsCircuit breakers in the fuse block protect
the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens, protecting
the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.Fuses and Circuit BreakersThe wiring circuits in your vehicle are pro-
tected from short circuits by a combination
of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible ther-
mal links in the wiring itself.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse with a new one of the identical
size and rating.
There are spare fuses provided in the
engine compartment fuse block. If you ever
have a problem on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has
the same amperage. Just pick a feature of
your vehicle that you can get along without
– like the radio or cigarette lighter – and
use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle:
the instrument panel fuse block and the
engine compartment fuse block.
There is a fuse puller located on the
engine compartment fuse block. It can beused to easily remove fuses from the fuse
block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located
on the end of the instrument panel on the
driver’s side of the vehicle. To access the
fuses, open the fuse panel door by pulling
the door out.
To reinstall the door, first insert the rear
edge of the fuse panel door, then push the
front of the door into the end of the instru-
ment panel to secure it.
