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.

SUZUKI dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehi-
cle, any remaining transmitters must also
be matched. Once your SUZUKI dealer
has coded the new transmitter, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your
remote keyless entry transmitter should
last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the LED
(A) fails to illuminate or if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any loca-
tion. If you have to get close to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it’s probably
time to change the battery.To replace the battery in the remote key-
less entry transmitter, do the following:
1) Remove the screw from the back of the
cover and open the cover of the trans-
mitter.
2) Pull the transmitter unit out of the cover
and open the cover of the transmitter
unit.
3) Remove the battery and replace it with
the new one. Make sure the positive(+)
side of the battery faces up. Use one
three-volt, CR1616, or equivalent, type
battery.
4) Close the cover of the transmitter unit
and put the unit in the cover of the
transmitter.
5) Assemble the transmitter cover and
replace the screw. Make sure the cover
is on tightly, so water won’t get in.6) Check the operation of the transmitter
with your vehicle.
CAUTION
When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry.
Static from your body transferred to
these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.

WARNING
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
 Passengers – especially children –
can easily open the doors and fall
out of a moving vehicle. When a
door is locked, the handle won’t
open it. You increase the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. So,
wear safety belts properly and lock
the doors whenever you drive.
 Young children who get into
unlocked vehicles may be unable to
get out. A child can be overcome by
extreme heat and can suffer perma-
nent injuries or even death from
heat stroke. Always lock your vehi-
cle whenever you leave it.
 Outsiders can easily enter through
an unlocked door when you slow
down or stop your vehicle. Locking
your doors can help prevent this

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.

the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.

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
