about 10 seconds. Touch the engine
switch with LOCK button end of remote
controller (2) for about 2 seconds.
NOTE:
• If you still cannot start the engine after several attempts using the above
method, there may be a problem else-
where, such as the lead-acid battery per-
formance is poor. Contact your SUZUKI
dealer for inspection.
• The immobilizer/keyless push start sys- tem warning light will come on for about
5 seconds while the master warning indi-
cator light is blinking. In addition, the
information display will show a certain
message during this time. Refer to
“Information display” in the “BEFORE
DRIVING” section for details.
• You may customize the system to cause
the interior buzzer to sound once for
warning that remote controller is out of
sensing range. Please contact an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer for the customiza-
tion. • If the battery of the remote controller is
about to become completely discharged,
the corresponding message will appear
on the information display when you
press the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to ON. For details on

Returning ignition mode to LOCK (OFF)CVT – To ensure safety, the ignition mode
can be returned to LOCK (OFF) by press-
ing the engine switch only when the gear-
shift lever is placed in the “P” position
without pressing the knob button.
NOTE:
In the case of a CVT model, the ignition
mode cannot be returned to the LOCK
(OFF) position if the gearshift lever is in
any other position than “P”.
Certain problems like a fault in engine sys-
tem may prevent the engine switch from
going back to the LOCK (OFF) mode. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer after
doing the following:
• Lock the doors using the key to prevent
theft. (The request switches and the key-
less push start system remote controller
cannot be used to lock them.)
• Disconnect the negative cable from the lead-acid battery to prevent discharge. LOCK (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
If the driver’s door is opened without
returning the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF)
by pressing the engine switch, a buzzer
sounds to warn you of this state.
• If you open the driver’s door after press-
ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to ACC, the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.
• The buzzer will stop sounding if you then push the engine switch twice, thus bringing
it back the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, check
that you have returned the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF) using the engine switch and
then lock the doors. Without returning the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), you cannot
use a request switch or keyless push start
system remote controller to lock the doors.
Steering lock warning buzzer
If the steering lock fails to engage due to a
fault in the system when the ignition mode
is turned to LOCK (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and any door (including the
tailgate) is opened or closed, the interior
buzzer will warn you of this condition with
repeated short beeps. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.

mode indicator (1) and the current gear
position (2).
NOTE:
• The indicated gear position on the infor-
mation display when you shift from “D” to
“M” is the gear position that was
selected automatically when the gear-
shift lever was in “D”.
• You can change to the manual mode temporarily by pulling the shift paddle on
the steering wheel toward you when the
gearshift lever is in “D”.
Shifting in the manual mode
You can shift gears from 1st to 7th depend-
ing on driving speed.
NOTE:
• When the engine is revved, the gear is shifted up automatically to prevent dam-
age to the engine and the transaxle.
• When the driving speed becomes slow, the gear shifts down automatically, and
when the vehicle stops, the gear position
will be in 1st gear without shifting the
gearshift lever.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal a
certain amount, the gear shifts down
automatically even if the gearshift lever
is in the manual mode. NOTE:
When you change gear, sometimes the
transaxle may not shift to the desired gear
but a buzzer sounds instead. This is to
maintain good drivability and to protect the
transaxle.

ENG A-STOP system
(engine auto stop start system) (if equipped)The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops and
restarts the engine when decelerating
before stopping and when the vehicle is
stopped, such as at a traffic signal, in order
to reduce exhaust gases, fuel consumption
and engine noise.
• This system automatically stops the engine under certain conditions. When
the vehicle will be stopped for a long
time or when you will leave the vehicle
unattended, set the parking brake firmly,
and then turn the ignition switch or press
the engine switch to stop the engine.
• If certain conditions are met, the engine is stopped automatically when decelerat-
ing (approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or
less for manual transaxle vehicles,
approximately 13 km/h (8 mph) or less
for CVT vehicles) before stopping. How-
ever, the engine will not be stopped
automatically during deceleration until
confirmation of the system function is fin-
ished. NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto-
matic heating and ai
r conditioning system,
you can change the automatic engine stop
condition via the information display. Refer
to “Setting mode” in “Information display
(instrument cluster with tachometer)” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
75RM054
CAUTION
• Do not get out of the vehicle when the engine has been stopped auto-
matically by the ENG A-STOP sys-
tem. This may result in an accident.
– For manual transaxle, if the
driver’s seat belt is unfastened or
the driver’s door is opened, the
engine will be restarted to warn
you that the engine was stopped
automatically by the ENG A-
STOP system.
– For CVT, if the driver’s seat belt is unfastened, even if the brake
pedal is pressed down, or the
driver’s door is opened, the
engine will be restarted to warn
you that the engine was stopped
automatically by the ENG A-
STOP system.
• If the engine is not restarted auto- matically after being stopped by the
ENG A-STOP system, turn the igni-
tion switch or press the engine
switch to start the engine. Operating
the vehicle without restarting the
engine will require more effort for
steering and braking operations and
may result in an accident.

• The audio and other electrical compo-nent can be used during the automatic
engine stop, but the air conditioner will
switch to the fan mode.
• If the vehicle is equipped with the auto- matic heating and air conditioning sys-
tem, the fan speed will be limited during
the automatic engine stop (only in the
auto control mode) to keep the cabin air-
conditioned for a longer time.
75RM281
3) Regardless of whether the vehicle has
stopped or not, depressing the clutch
pedal will restart the engine and the
ENG A-STOP indicator light (green) will
go off. While the engine is auto stopping,
depressing the clutch pedal will restart the
engine consuming fuel. Therefore, for fuel
economy, it is recommended to depress
the clutch pedal just before the vehicle
start.
• Without depressing the clutch pedal, the
engine may restart automatically if the
automatic engine restart conditions are
met.
For details, refer to the section, “Condi-
tions to restart the engine automatically”. CVT vehicles
1) While driving, the ENG A-STOP indica-
tor light (green) in the instrument clus-
ter comes on if the conditions allowing
the engine to be stopped automatically
(standby conditions) are met.
For details on the standby conditions,
refer to “Standby conditions” in this sec-
tion.
