controller (2) for about 2 seconds.
NOTE:
 If you still cannot start the engine after several attempts using the above
method, there may be a problem else-
where, such as a low battery. Contact
your SUZUKI dealer for inspection.
 The immobilizer/keyless start system warning light will light for about 5 sec-
onds while the master warning light is
flashing. In addition, the information dis-
play will show a certain message during
this time. Refer to “Information Display”
in the “Before Driving” section for details.
 You may customize the system to cause the interior buzzer to sound once for the
“remote controller ou t of sensing range”

SUZUKI dealer for the customization.
 If the battery of the remote controller is about to be completely discharged, a
message warning this will appear on the
information display when the ignition
mode is changed to “ON” by pressing the engine switch. For details on replac-
ing the battery, refer to the “Keyless Start

Returning the ignition mode to
“LOCK” (OFF)CVT
– To ensure safety, the ignition mode
can be returned to “LOCK” (OFF) by
pressing the engine switch only when the
gearshift lever is placed in the “P” position.
NOTE:
 Messages may appear on the informa- tion display in the instrument cluster
when you attempt to return the ignition
mode to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch. Refer to “Information dis-
play” in the “Before Driving” section for
details.
 In the case of a CVT model, the engine cannot be returned to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position if the gearshift lever is in any
other position than “P”.
Certain problems like a fault in engine
system may prevent the engine switch
from going back to the “LOCK” (OFF)
mode. If this happens, have the vehicle
inspected by an autohorized SUZUKI
dealer after doing the following:
– Lock the doors using the key to pre-
vent theft. (The request switches and
the keyless start system remote con-
troller cannot be used to lock them.) – Disconnect the negative cable from
the battery to prevent discharge.
“LOCK” (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
If the driver’s door is opened without
returning the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF) by pressing the engine switch, a
buzzer sounds to warn you of this state.
 If you open the driver’s door after press- ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to “ACC”, the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.
 The buzzer will stop sounding if you then push the engine switch twice, thus bring-
ing it back the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF).
NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, make
sure you have returned the ignition mode
to “LOCK” (OFF) using the engine switch
and then lock the doors. Without returning
the ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF), you
cannot use a request switch or keyless
start system remote controller to lock the
doors.
