•1 This symbol represents that the seat belt is unfastened. •2This symbol represents that the seat belt is fastened.
When the driver and/or passenger(s) do not fasten their seat belts, the seat belt reminder lights will come on or blink and a buzzer will sound to remind the driver and/ or passenger(s) to fasten their seat belts. For more details, refer to the explanation below.
A. WARNING
It is absolutely essential that the driver and passengers fasten their seat belts at all times. Persons who are not fastening seat belts have a much greater risk of injury if an acci­dent occurs. Make a regular habit of buckling your seat belt before putting the key in the ignition.

Driver's seat belt reminder If the driver's seat belt remains unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the reminder works as follows: 1) The driver's seat belt reminder light will come on. The front passenger's seat
belt reminder light will also come on if a front passenger does not fasten his/her seat belt. 2) After the vehicle's speed has reached about 15 km/h, the driver's seat belt reminder light will blink and a buzzer will sound for about 95 seconds. 3) The reminder light will remain on until the driver's seat belt is buckled. If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt and later unbuckles the seat belt, the reminder system will be activated from Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle's speed. When the vehicle's speed is less than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from Step 1 ). When the vehicle's speed is more than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from Step 2). The reminder will be automatically can­celed when the driver's seat belt is buckled or the ignition switch is turned off.
Front passenger's seat belt reminder (if equipped) If there is a person sitting in the front pas­senger seat and the front passenger seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the front pas­senger's seat belt reminder will activate. The front passenger's seat belt reminder works in the same manner as the driver's seat belt reminder.
NOTICE
The sensor of the front passenger's
seat belt reminder is located in the seat cushion. Therefore, if you spill liquid such as liquid aromatics1 soft drinks or juice on the front passen­ger's seat cushion, immediately wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Otherwise, the sensor of the front passenger's seat belt reminder can be damaged.
NOTE: If you put an object on the passenger's seat, the weight of the object will be sensed by the sensor and the front pas­senger's seat belt reminder light (if
equipped) will come on and then the interior buzzer may beep. ff a child or a sma/1 sized person sit on the front passenger's seat or the cushion is put on the front passenger's seat, the weight wi/1 not be sensed by the sensor and the interior buzzer may not beep.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
Rear passenger's seat belt reminder (if equipped) If there is a person sitting in the rear pas­senger seat and the rear passenger seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the rear passen­ger's seat belt reminder will activate. The rear passenger's seat belt reminder works in the same manner as the driver's seat belt reminder.
NOTICE
The sensor of the rear passenger's seat belt reminder is located in the seat cushion. Therefore, if you spill liquid such as liquid aromatics, soft drinks or juice on the rear passen­ger's seat cushion, immediately wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Otherwise, the sensor of the rear passenger's seat belt reminder can be damaged.
NOTE: ff you put an object on the rear passen­ger's seat, the weight of the object will be sensed by the sensor and the rear pas­senger's seat belt reminder light (if equipped} wi/1 come on and then the interior buzzer may beep. ff a child or a small sized person sit on the rear passenger's seat or the cushion is put on the rear passenger's seat, the weight will not be sensed by the sensor and the interior buzzer may not beep.

The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor and each rear seat belt retractor in outboard seating position. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant's body more snugly in the event of a frontal or side collision. The retractors will remain locked after the pre­tensioners are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by fastening seat belts at all times, whether or not a pretensioner is equipped at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. Please refer to "Seat adjustment" section and the instructions and precautions about the seat belts in this "Seat belts and child restraint systems" section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along with the airbags will activate in severe fron­tal or side collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, roll­overs, or minor frontal side collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the airbags are activated), have the pre­tensioner system serviced by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
If AIRBAG light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefiy when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, stays on for more than 1 O seconds, or comes on while driving, the pretensioner system or the airbag system may not work properly. Have both systems inspected by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys­tem components or wiring must be per­formed only by a SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of preten­sioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa­tion of the pretensioners, check that the lead-acid battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo­nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI vehicle, ask a SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrap yard for assis­tance.

An airbag supplements or adds to the collision protection offered by seat belts.

Keys
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical keys. Keep one of the keys as a 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 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 reference.
I KEY NUMBER:

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.

There are two ways to lock or unlock all doors (including the tailgate) simultane­ously by operating the transmitter near the vehicle.
Central door locking system To lock all doors, push LOCK button (1) once. • To unlock all door, push UNLOCK button (2) once.
NOTE: You can switch the function that unlocks all doors from requiring two pushes to requir­ing one push, and vice versa, via the infor­mation display setting mode. For details on how to use the information display, refer to "Information display" in this section.
The turn signal lights will flash once when the doors are locked.
When the doors are unlocked: The turn signal lights will flash twice. If the interior light switch is in DOOR position, the interior light will turn on for about 15 seconds and then fade out. If you insert the key into the ignition switch during this time, the light will start to fade out immediately.
Check that the doors are locked after you operate LOCK button (1 ).
NOTE: If no door is opened within about 30 sec­onds after UNLOCK button (2) is operated, the doors will automatically lock again.
BEFORE DRIVING
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.
NOTICE
The transmitter is a sensitive elec­tronic instrument. To avoid damaging the transmitter: Do not expose it to impacts, mois­ture or high temperature such as by leaving it on the dashboard under direct sunlight. Keep the transmitter away from magnetic objects such as a televi­sion.
