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, which has an electronic identification code programmed in it. The key communicates the identification code to the vehicle when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" posi­tion. If you need to make spare keys, see a SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be pro­grammed with the correct identification code for the spare. A key made by an ordi­nary locksmith will not work.

If the immobilizer warning light blinks when the ignition switch is in "ON" position, the engine will not start.
NOTICE
Do not modify or remove the immobi­lizer system. If modified or removed, the system cannot be properly oper­ated.
NOTE: If the immobilizer system warning light blinks or comes on, a message may be shown on the information display. This immobilizer system is maintenance­free.
It this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" position, and then turn it back to "ON" position. It 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 a SUZUKI dealer to have the system inspected.

NOTE: If you lose your immobilizer ignition key, ask a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi­ble to deactivate the lost one, and to make a new key. If you own other vehicles with immobi­lizer keys, keep those keys away from the ignition switch when using your SUZUKI vehicle. Otherwise, the engine may not be started because they may interfere with your SUZUKI vehicle's immobilizer system. If you attach any metal objects to the immobilizer key, it may not start the engine.
NOTICE
The immobilizer key is sensitive elec­tronic instruments. To avoid damag­ing them: Do not expose them to impacts, moisture or high temperature such as on the dashboard under direct sunlight. Keep them away from magnetic objects.

NOTE: The maximum operating distance of the keyless entry system transmitter is about 5 m (16 ft.), but this can vary depending on the surroundings, especially near other transmitting devices such as radio towers or CB (Citizen's Band) radios. The door locks cannot be operated with the transmitter, if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch. When any door is open, the door locks can only be unlocked with the transmit­ter, and the turn signal light will flash. If you lose one of the transmitters, ask a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible for a replacement. Have a SUZUKI dealer program the new transmitter code in your vehicle's memory so that the old code is erased.

The alarm wiff be triggered if any person inside unlocks a door by operating the lock knob. The theft deterrent alarm system is not armed when af/ doors are locked using the key from outside, or using the door lock knobs. ff any door is not operated within approx­imately 30 seconds after the doors have been unlocked using the keyless entry system transmitter, the doors are auto­maticaf/y locked again. After the doors are locked, the theft deterrent alarm sys­tem wiff 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 entry system transmitter. The theft deter­rent light will go out, indicating that the theft deterrent alarm system is disarmed.
How to stop the alarm Should the alarm be triggered accidentally, unlock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter 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 entry system transmitter, the theft deterrent alarm system wiff be rearmed with a delay of about 20 seconds. ff you disconnect the lead-acid battery while the theft deterrent alarm system is in the armed condition or the alarm is actuaf/y in operation, the alarm will be triggered or re-triggered when the bat­tery is then reconnected, although, in the falter case, the alarm remains stopped for the period between disconnection and reconnection of the lead-acid bat­tery: Even after the alarm has stopped at the end of the predetermined operation time, it wiff be triggered again if any door is opened without disarming the theft deterrent alarm system.

Checking whether the alarm has been triggered during parking If the alarm was triggered due to an unau­thorized entry into the vehicle and you then turn the ignition switch to "ON" position, the theft deterrent light will blink rapidly for about 8 seconds and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this period.

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.
