Keys
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical
keys. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
One key can open all of the locks on the
vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on
the keys. Keep the tag (if equipped) in a
safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
Write the number below for your future ref-
erence.
Immobilizer system This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
or keyless push start system remote con-
troller, which has an electronic identifica-
tion code programmed into it. The key or
remote controller communicates the identi-
fication code to the vehicle when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to ON. If you need to make
spare keys or remote controllers, see your
SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be pro-
grammed with the correct identification
code for the spare. A key made by an ordi-
nary locksmith will not work.

If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition
mode is ON, the engine will not start. NOTE:
• If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks or comes on, a
message may be shown on the informa-
tion display.
• This immobilizer system is maintenance-
free.
For vehicles without a keyless push
start system
If this light blinks, tur n the ignition switch to
“LOCK” position, and then turn it back to
“ON” position.
If the light still blinks after the ignition
switch is turned back to “ON” position,
there may be something wrong with your
key or with the immobilizer system. Ask
your SUZUKI dealer to have the system
inspected.

(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
