However, the system does not have any function of blocking unauthorized entry into your vehicle. Always use the keyless entry system transmitter to unlock the doors when the theft deterrent 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 per­son, 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 js maintenance-free.

Electric window controls
(if equipped)
The electric windows can only be operated when the ignition switch is in "ON" position.
(1)
The center console has a switch (1) to operate the driver's window, and a switch (2) to operate the front passenger's win­dow.
2-11
OPEN CLOSE
78RB02007
To open a window, push the switch. To close the window, lift up the switch.
The driver's window has AUTO-DOWN and AUTO-UP (if equipped) features for greater convenience (at toll booths or drive-through restaurants, for example). These features allow the driver to open or close the window without holding the win­dow switch in DOWN or UP position. Press down or lift up the driver's window switch completely and release it. To stop the win­dow before it reaches the FULL-DOWN or FULL-UP position, pull up or push down the switch briefly.
A WARNING
• You should always prevent chil­dren from operating the electric window switches when there are children in the vehicle. Children can be seriously injured if they get part of their body caught by the window during operation. To avoid injuring an occupant by window entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric windows when closing them. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle even only for a short time. Also do not leave children alone in a parked vehicle. Unattended children could use the electric window switches and get trapped by the window.

Pinching prevention function
(if equipped)
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 AUTO­UP 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.
A. WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win­dow 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.
A.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.
NOTE: Even if you cannot close the window by the AUTO-UP feature because there may be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion 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 oper­ate accidentally because the window reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa­tion When you disconnect and reconnect the lead-acid 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.
BEFORE DRIVING
To initialize the pinching prevention func­tion, use the following procedure: 1) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi­
tion. 2) Open the driver's window fully by hold­ing the window switch in DOWN posi­tion. 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.
A. WARNING
Whenever you disconnect and recon­nect the lead-acid 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.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not work after initialization, there might be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

Instantaneous fuel consumption The display shows the value of instanta­neous fuel consumption only when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: The display does not show the value unless the vehicle is moving. Depending on the vehicle's specification, the fuel consumption units of initial set­ting are indicated as U100km or km/L. For "U100km" setting, the indicated maximum value of instantaneous fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30 will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. For "km/L" setting, the indicated maxi­mum value of instantaneous fuel con­sumption is 50. No more than 50 will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. The indication on the display may be delayed if fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions. The display shows estimated values. Indications may not be the same as actual values. For "U100km" or "km/L" setting, you can change the units that instantaneous fuel consumption is displayed in. Refer to ',<\verage fuel consumption" in this sec­tion.
Average fuel consumption If you previously selected average fuel consumption setting, the display shows average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
To reset the average fuel consumption, push and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for a while when the display shows the average fuel consumption.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a while.
