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.

BEFORE DRIVING
NOTE: The theft deterrent alarm system gener­ates alarms when any of the predeter­mined conditions is met. 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.

1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
A WARNING
Remember that stopping distance may be longer, you may have to push harder on the pedal, and the pedal may go down farther than normal.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and stopping the vehicle on the shoul­der of the road. 3) If you determine that it is safe, drive the vehicle cautiously at low speed to the nearest a SUZUKI dealer for repairs or tow the vehicle to the nearest a SUZUKI dealer for repairs.

If the brake system warning light does not come on when the igni­tion switch is turned "ON". If the brake system warning light comes on at any time during vehi­cle operation.
NOTE: Because the brake system is self-adjust­ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake pads become worn. Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is considered normal periodic maintenance.
