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: If no door is opened within about 30 sec­onds after UNLOCK button (2) is operated, the doors will automatically lock again.
BEFORE DRIVING

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.
