Keys
One key is used for the ignition, the door
and all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, you are
provided with two keys. Keep one of the
two keys as a spare. The key number is
stamped on the key tag (A). The tag has a
code on it that tells your SUZUKI dealer or
a qualified locksmith how to make extra
keys. If you lose your key, you’ll be able to
have a new one made easily using the tag.
For vehicle security, keep the tag in a safe
place and also record the key number
somewhere other than inside of the vehi-
cle.
If you need a new key, contact your
SUZUKI dealer who can obtain the correct
key code.

Starting and Operating Your
VehicleNew Vehicle Break-InIgnition Positions
With the key in the ignition switch, you can
turn the key to four different positions.LOCK:
This position locks your steering wheel,
ignition, automatic transmission shift lever
and automatic transmission. This is the
only position from which you can remove
the key. For easier key operation when
unlocking the steering wheel, move the
steering wheel back and forth while turning
the key to the ACC position.
ACC (ACCESSORY):
This position operates some of your elec-
trical accessories, such as the radio, but
not the ventilation fan. Press in the switch
as you turn it away from you.
ON:
This is the position to which the switch
returns after you start your engine and
release the key. The switch stays in ON
when the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use ON
to operate your electrical accessories, and
to display some instrument panel warning
lights.
START:
This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition
switch will return to ON for normal driving.
Do not turn the key to START if the engine
is running.
Even if the engine is not running, ACC and
ON allow you to operate electrical acces-
sories, such as the radio.
CAUTION
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elabo-
rate “break-in.” But it will perform
better in the long run if you follow
these guidelines:
 Don’t drive at any one speed – fast
or slow – for the first 500 miles (805
km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
 Avoid making hard stops for the
first 200 miles (322 km) or so. Dur-
ing this time your new brake linings
aren’t yet broken in. Hard stops
with new linings can mean prema-
ture wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this break-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
WARNING
On manual transmission vehicles,
turning the key to LOCK and remov-
ing it will lock the steering column
and result in a loss of ability to steer
the vehicle. This could cause a colli-
sion. If you need to turn the engine
off while the vehicle is moving, turn
the key only to ACC. Don’t push the
key in while the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and
you can’t turn it, be sure you are
using the correct key; if so, is it all
the way in? If it is, then turn the steer-
ing wheel left and right while you turn
the key hard. Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it
could break the key or the ignition
switch. If none of these works, then
your vehicle needs service.

Luggage Compartment Cover
(Wagon only)Luggage or other cargo placed in the lug-
gage compartment can be hidden from
view by the luggage compartment cover.
To close the cover, pull the handle of the
cover toward you and then insert the
retainer into the slot located on both sides
of the tailgate opening.To remove the cover, release the handle
after pulling it toward you a little. The cover
retracts automatically.
Roof Rack (Wagon only)The roof rack can be used to conveniently
carry additional cargo, or bulky items, such
as bicycles, which are better carried out-
side than inside.AntennaFor the Sedan models, an antenna is inte-
grated with the rear window defogger,
located in the rear window. For the Wagon
models, an antenna is located in the wind-
shield glass. Be sure that the inside sur-
face of the rear window or windshield glass
is not scratched and that the lines on the
glass are not damaged. If the inside sur-
face is damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception.
Because this antenna is built into your rear
window or windshield glass, there is a
reduced risk of damage caused by car
washes and vandals.If you choose to add a cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be
attached to the glass, be sure that you do
not damage the grid lines for the antenna.
There is enough space between the lines
to attach a cellular telephone antenna with-
out interfering with radio reception.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting to
the back glass. The metallic film in some
tinting materials will interfere with or distort
the incoming radio reception. Care must
be taken when cleaning the rear window or
CAUTION
Do not carry items on top of the lug-
gage compartment cover, even if they
are small and light. Objects on top of
the cover could be thrown about in an
accident, causing injury, or could
obstruct the driver’s rear view.

WARNING
A loaded roof rack changes the vehi-
cle’s center of gravity. Do not drive at
high speeds. Take precautions when
driving in crosswinds. Failure to fol-
low this caution can result in vehicle
damage and personal injury.
WARNING
Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window or wind-
shield glass may damage the antenna
and/or the rear window defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not clear the inside
of the rear window or windshield with
sharp objects.
WARNING
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting
with metallic film. The metallic film in
some tinting materials will interfere
with or distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
your backglass antenna due to metal-
lic tinting materials will not be cov-
ered by your warranty.
