2) Replace the battery (1) (Lithium disc-
type CR2025 or equivalent) so its + ter-
minal faces the “+” mark of the transmit-
ter.
3) Close the transmitter firmly.
4) Make sure the door locks can be oper-
ated with the transmitter.
5) Dispose of the used battery properly
according to applicable rules or regula-
tions. Do not dispose of lithium batter-

code yourself
Your new vehicle was originally equipped
with two transmitters.
If you have lost one of the transmitters, you
should change the transmitter code in your
vehicle’s memory as soon as possible for
security. If you purchase additional trans-
mitters, the new transmitters need to be
programmed into your vehicle’s memory.
You can perform this yourself by using the
following procedure:
NOTE:
 You can program up to three transmitter
codes into your vehicle’s memory. The
three codes may be the same or differ-
ent.
 If you try to program a fourth code, the
oldest code will be cleared automatically.
 To purchase new transmitters, see your
SUZUKI dealer.
 Before you begin programming, have all
of your transmitters available.To program a new transmitter
1) Confirm that all the doors are closed
and the ignition key is out of the ignition
switch.
2) Open the driver’s door.
3) Insert the key, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position and
remove the key within 10 seconds.

4) Push and release the driver’s door
switch (1) 3 times, insert the key, and
turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion within 20 seconds.

position and remove the key within 10
seconds. All doors will lock/unlock to
confirm that this procedure has been
properly completed.

Swallowing a lithium battery may
cause serious internal injury. Do not
allow anyone to swallow a lithium
battery. Keep lithium batteries away
from children and pets. If swallowed,
contact a physician immediately.

transmitter, repeat the procedure from
step 1) through step 6).

for security.
To remove one of the transmitter codes
from your vehicle’s memory, first replace all
three of the transmitter codes in your vehi-
cle’s memory, then program additional
transmitters as follows:

times, by repeating the programming
procedure shown in this section. This
will replace all the old transmitter codes
in the vehicle’s memory with the code
for the transmitter you are using.

lowing precautions:
 Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windshield
washer fluid being sprayed or the
washer motor can be damaged.
 Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windshield with the wipers or
you can damage the windshield
and the wiper blades. Always wet
the windshield with washer fluid
before operating the wipers.
 Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the wip-
ers.
 Check the washer fluid level regu-
larly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
 Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the tempera-
ture falls low enough to freeze the
solution.
