runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the trunk lid request
switch operating range may be reduced
or the remote controller may be inopera-
tive.

than the keyless start system remote con-
troller or the request switch will cause the
alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
–The key
– The lock lever on a door
– The power door lock knob
– The trunk lid unlatch switch
– The engine hood release handle

How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
change the ignition mode to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The alarm will then
stop.
NOTE:
 Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless start
system remote controller or by pushing
the request switch, the theft deterrent
alarm system will be rearmed with a
delay of about 20 seconds.
 If you disconnect the battery while the
theft deterrent alarm system is in the
armed condition or the alarm is actually
in operation, the alarm will be triggered
or re-triggered when the battery is then
reconnected, although, in the latter case,
the alarm remains stopped for the period
between disconnection and reconnec-
tion of the battery.
 Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will 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 unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle and you then
change the ignition mode to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch, the theft deterrent
light will flash rapidly for about 8 seconds
and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this
period. If this happens, check whether your
vehicle has been broken into while you
were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either “enabled” or “disabled”.
When enabled (factory setting)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
hazard warning lights to flash for about 40
seconds if any of the alarm trigger condi-
tions is met. The system also causes the
interior buzzer to beep intermittently for
about 10 seconds, which is followed by
intermittent sounding of the horn for about
30 seconds.
*The theft deterrent light continues to flash
during this time.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays dis-
armed even if you perform any system
arming operation.How to switch the state of the theft
deterrent alarm system
You can switch the theft deterrent alarm
system from the enabled state to the dis-
abled state, and vice versa, using the fol-
lowing method.

NOTE:
The driver’s and passenger’s windows can
be operated for 30 seconds even after the
ignition mode is changed from “ON” to
“ACC” or “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch. However, if either of the
front doors is opened within this 30-second
period, the windows cannot be operated
thereafter.
If you drive with one of the rear windows
open, you may hear a loud sound caused
by air vibration. To reduce the sound, openthe driver’s or front passenger’s window, or
narrow the rear window opening.
Initialization of Auto-Down/Up Function
If the auto-down/up function does not work
for some reason, initialize the function as
instructed below. Note that the initialization
must be performed using the switch for
each window; the function of the passen-
ger’s door window cannot be initialized
using the switch of the driver’s door win-
dow.
1) Start the engine.
2) Open the front window fully by holding
the window switch in the “Down” posi-
tion.
3) Close the front window by holding the
switch in the “Up” position, and keep
holding the switch for 2 seconds after
the window fully closed.
4) Check the front window if the auto-
down/up feature work.
Pinching Prevention Function
(if equipped)The front window is equipped with the
pinching prevention function. The function
detects a foreign object caught in the win-
dow while being closed by the “auto-up”
feature, which you can close the window
without holding the window switch in the
“Up” position, and stops the window clos-
ing to prevent damage.
WARNING
 You should always lock the passen-
ger’s window operation 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, be sure no
part of the occupant’s body such
as hands or head is in the path of
the electric windows when closing
them.
 Always take the keyless start sys-
tem remote controller with you
when leaving the vehicle even if
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.
WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, be sure no part of
the occupant’s body such as hands
or head is in the path of the electric
window when closing it.
The function may not detect the
object depending on size, hardness,
and position of the object caught by
the closing window.
CAUTION
 The pinching prevention function
does not act while you are holding
the window switch in the “Up” posi-
tion.
 The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window where just before the
window fully closed.

NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
auto-up feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in the “Up” posi-
tion.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.

You can adjust the inside rearview mirror
by hand so as to see the rear of your vehi-
cle in the mirror. To adjust the mirror, set
t

he selector tab (1) to the day position,
then move the mirror up, down or sideways
by hand to obtain the best view.
When driving at night, you can move the
selector tab to the night position to reduce
glare from the headlights of vehicles
behind you.
CAUTION
The pinching prevention function will
not be activated until the initialization
is complete.
• Do not strike or otherwise give
shock to the window during initial-
ization.
• Initialization is impossible while the
vehicle is in motion.
If the auto-up feature would not work
after initialization,
there might be
something wrong with the pinching
prevention function. Have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.

• Only use the night position if it is
necessary to reduce glare from the
headlights of vehicles behind you.
Be aware that in this position you
may not be able to see some
objects that could be seen in the
day position.

Outside Rearview Mirrors
79J033
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors so you
can just see the side of your vehicle in the
mirrors.
The passenger’s side mirror is a convex
(curved surface) mirror. Objects seen in
this mirror will look smaller and appear far-
ther away than when seen in a flat mirror.
Power Mirror Control
57L21029
The switch to control the power rearview
mirrors is located on the driver’s door
panel. You can adjust the mirrors after
pressing the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “ON”. To adjust
the mirrors:
1) Move the selector switch to the left or
right to select the mirror you wish to
adjust.
2) Press the outer part of the switch that
corresponds to the direction you wish to
move the mirror.
3) Return the selector switch to the center
position to help prevent unintended
adjustment.
CAUTION
 Do not touch or cover the sensor
(3) since this may impair normal
operation of the system. Blocking
glare from the sensor with an
object such as a shade, sticker,
accessory or baggage may also
impair proper operation of the sys-
tem.
 Do not hook anything heavy on the
mirror, or the mirror may break
under the weight.

WARNING
Be careful when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle or other object
seen in the side convex mirror. Be
