2) Push open the tailgate from inside by
pushing up on the emergency lever (2)
using a flat-bladed screwdriver or the
jack handle. The tailgate will be latched
again by closing the tailgate simply.
If the tailgate cannot be unlatched by push-

Keyless push start system
remote controller / Keyless
entry system transmitter
68LM205
Your vehicle is equipped with either a key-
less push start system remote controller
(Type A) or a keyless entry system trans-
mitter (Type B). The remote controller has
a keyless entry system and a keyless push
start system. The transmitter has only a
keyless entry system. For details, refer to
the following explanations.
WA R N I N G
Always check that the tailgate is
closed and latched securely. Com-
pletely closing the tailgate helps pre-
vent occupants from being thrown
from the vehicle in the event of an
accident. Completely closing it also
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the vehicle.
CAUTION
Check that there is no one near the
tailgate when pushing open the tail-
gate from inside the vehicle.

The turn signal lights will flash once and
the exterior buzzer will sound once when
the doors are locked, and then the turn sig-
nal lights will flash once and the exterior
buzzer will sound once again when the
doors are locked with the dead lock sys-
tem.
To unlock a door or all doors:
• Push one of the request switches once
to unlock only one door.
• Push one of the request switches twice
to unlock all doors.
NOTE:
You can switch the function that unlocks all
doors from requiring two pushes to requir-
ing one push, and vice versa, via the infor-
mation display setting mode. For details on
how to use the information display, refer to
“Information display” in this section.
When the doors are unlocked:
• The turn signal lights will flash twice and
the exterior buzzer will sound twice.
• If the interior light switch is in DOOR
position, the interior light will turn on for
about 15 seconds and then fade out. If
you press the engine switch during thistime, the light will start to fade out imme-
diately.
Check that the doors are locked after you
operate the request switch to lock the
doors.
NOTE:
• The door locks cannot be operated by
the request switch under the following
conditions:
– If any door is open or is not completely
closed.

(1) 80 cm (2 1/2 feet)When the remote controller is within
approximately 80 cm (2 1/2 feet) from a
front door handle or the tailgate switch, you
can lock or unlock the doors by pushing
the request switch.
NOTE:
• If the remote controller is outside the
request switch operating range
described above, you will not be able to
operate the request switch.
• If the battery of the remote controller
runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the request switch oper-
ating range may be reduced or the
remote controller may be inoperative.
• If the remote controller is too close to the
door glass, the request switches may not
operate.
• If a spare remote controller is in the vehi-
cle, the request switches may not oper-
ate normally.
• The remote controller will only operate a
request switch if it is within the switch’s
operating range. For example, if the
remote controller is within the operating
range of the driver’s door request switch
but not the front passenger’s door
request switch or the tailgate request
switch, the driver’s door switch can be
operated but the front passenger’s door
switch or tailgate switch cannot be oper-
ated.
WA R N I N G

or under certain operating conditions such
as the following:
• When there are strong signals coming
from a television, power station or a cel-
lular phone.
• When the remote controller is in contact

Pinching prevention function
The driver’s window is equipped with a
pinching prevention function. This function
detects a foreign object that is caught in
the window as it is being closed by AUTO-
UP feature, which allows you to close the
window without holding the window switch
in UP position, and stops the window from
closing to prevent damage.
NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa-
tion
When you disconnect and reconnect the
battery or replace the fuse, the function will
be deactivated. In this condition, the
AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated,
while the AUTO-UP feature may remain
activated. The pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.To initialize the pinching prevention func-
tion, use the following procedure:
1) Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position
or press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
2) Open the driver’s window fully by hold-
ing the window switch in DOWN posi-
tion.
3) Close the driver’s window by holding
the switch in UP position, and keep
holding the switch for 2 seconds after
the window is fully closed.
4) Check the driver’s window to see if the
AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not
work after initialization, there might be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function. Have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, check that no part
of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric window when closing it.
This function may not detect an
object due to the size, hardness, or
position of the object being caught in
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention function
does not operate while you are
holding the window switch in UP
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window just before the window
is fully closed.
WA R N I N G
Whenever you disconnect and recon-
nect the battery or replace the fuse,
the pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.
The pinching prevention function will
not be activated until the initialization
is completed.

• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the illustration.
• Do not fasten your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
(Continued)
as low as possible
across the hips
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Never use the same seat belt for
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
• Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
• Children aged 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
• Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased locally and
should be used. Check that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided
by the manufacturer.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
• Do not insert any items such as
coins and clips into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt
buckle, the seat belt may not work
properly.
• All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving,
or seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.
