Immobilizer SystemThe immobilizer system is an anti-theft fea-
ture, which checks whether the keyless
start system remote controller that is com-
municating via radio waves with the vehicle
has been registered to the vehicle’s key-
less start system. If the remote controller is
not a registered one, the system will refuse
to start the engine using it.Immobilizer/Keyless Start System
Warning Light
85K2210
This light is on the instrument cluster.
 When you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
light comes on briefly so you can check
that the light is working. If the light is
flashing, the engine cannot be started.
 The light also flashes when the “remote
controller outside” warning works.NOTE:
 The immobilizer/keyless start system is
normal if this light goes out in 2 seconds
after pressing the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”. If the
light fails to go out in this period, there is
something wrong with the system. There
is also a problem with the system if the
light remains on for 5 seconds after the
engine switch is pressed when the
switch is in any other ignition mode than
“ON”.
 Illumination or flashing of the light may
be accompanied by a message on the
information display in the instrument
cluster.
NOTE:
 If you lose your keyless start system
remote controller, see your SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible to have the
lost one deactivated, then have the new
remote controller made by them.
 If you own other vehicles with keyless
start system remote controller, keep
those remote controllers away from the
engine switch when using your SUZUKI,
or the engine may not be started
because they may interfere with your
SUZUKI’s immobilizer system.
 In case of attaching any metal objects to
the keyless start system remote control-
ler, it may not start the engine.1. For USA

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:

approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
WARNING

troller is a sensitive electronic instru-
ment. To avoid damaging the keyless

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.

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-

“Up” position, and stops the window clos-
ing to prevent damage.
WARNING
 You should always lock the passen-
ger’s window operation when there

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.
