(1) Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (1)
indicates that a used battery should be col-
lected separately from ordinary household
trash.
By ensuring the used battery is disposed
of or recycled correctly, you will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health, which
could otherwise be caused by inappropri-
ate battery disposal. The recycling of
materials will help to conserve natural
resources. For more detailed information
about disposing of or recycling of the used
battery, consult your SUZUKI dealer.
Theft deterrent alarm system (if equipped)NOTE:
For the theft deterrent light of Australia,
Israel, Germany and Taiwan models, refer
to “Theft deterrent light” in this section.
A theft deterrent alarm system is armed in
about 20 seconds after you lock the doors.
(The system for EU spec ification vehicle,
however, is not armed when the engine
hood is open.)
Keyless push start system – Use the
remote controller or push the request
switch on driver’s door handle, front pas-
senger’s door handle or tailgate.
Keyless entry system – Use the transmit-
ter.
Once the system is armed, any attempt to
open a door by using any other means (*)
than the keyless push start system remote
controller, the request switch, the keyless
entry system transmitter or engine hood
(for EU specification vehicle) will cause the
alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
–The key
– The lock knob on a door
– The power door locking switch NOTE:
• The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
• Always use the keyless push start sys-
tem remote controller, the request switch
or the keyless entry system transmitter
to unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the
alarm.
• If a person who does not know the theft deterrent alarm system is going to drive
your vehicle, we recommend you explain
the system and its operation to the per-
son, or disable the system beforehand.
Mistakenly triggering the alarm may
cause a nuisance to others.
• Even if the theft deterrent alarm system is armed, you should still be careful to
guard against theft. Do not leave money
or things of value in your vehicle.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is
maintenance-free.

NOTICE
Do not modify or remove the theft
deterrent alarm system. If modified or
removed, the system cannot be prop-
erly operated.

How to arm the theft deterrent alarm
system (when enabled)
Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using
the keyless push start system remote con-
troller, the request switch or the keyless
entry system transmitter. The theft deter-
rent light (1) will start blinking, and the theft
deterrent alarm system will be armed in
about 20 seconds.
While the system is be ing armed, the indi-
cator continues to blink at intervals of
approximately 2 seconds.
75RM313
NOTE:
• To prevent the alarm from being acci- dentally triggered, avoid arming it while
anyone remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door or engine hood (for
EU specification vehicle) by operating
the lock knob or power door locking
switch.
• The theft deterrent alarm system is not armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock knobs or the power door locking
switch from inside.
• If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the doors are automati-
cally locked again. After the doors are
locked, the theft de terrent alarm system
will be armed in about 20 seconds if the
system is in the enabled state.
How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system rem ote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry system
transmitter. The theft deterrent light will go
out, indicating that t he theft deterrent alarm
system is disarmed. How to stop
the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote c ontroller, the request
switch or the keyless entry system trans-
mitter, or press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to ON or turn the
ignition switch to “ON” position. The alarm
will then stop.
NOTE:
• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the theft deterrent alarm
system will be rearmed with a delay of
about 20 seconds.
• If you disconnect the lead-acid battery while the theft deterrent alarm system is
in the armed condition or the alarm is
actually in operation, the alarm will be
triggered or re-triggered when the bat-
tery is then reconnected, although, in the
latter case, the alarm remains stopped
for the period between disconnection
and reconnection of the lead-acid bat-
tery.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door or
engine hood (for EU specification vehi-
cle) is opened without disarming the
theft deterrent alarm system.

1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights andreflectors are clean and unobstructed.
2) Visually check the ti res for the following
points:
– the depth of the tread groove
– abnormal wear, cracks and damage
– loose wheel nuts
– existence of foreign material such as
nails, stones, etc.
Refer to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
WA R N I N G
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-
oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is
colorless and odorless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, take the following precautions
to help prevent carbon monoxide
from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Do not park with the engine run-
ning for a long period of time, even
in an open area. If it is necessary to
sit for a short time in a parked vehi-
cle with the engine running, check
that the air intake selector is set to
FRESH AIR and the blower is at
high speed.
• Avoid operating the vehicle with the tailgate or tr unk open. If it is
necessary to do so, check that the
sunroof (if equipped) and all win-
dows are closed, and the blower is
at high speed with the air intake
selector set to FRESH AIR.
• To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grill in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leak-
age. Any damage or leakage
should be repaired immediately.
