• If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the doors
are automatically locked again. When
the doors are locked, the security sys-
tem will be armed.
• If the security system indicator (1) blinks
when the ignition mode is “ON”, there
may be something wrong with the secu-
rity system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to inspect the system.
How to disarm the security system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system remote controller. The
security system indicator will go out, indi-
cating that the security system is dis-
armed.
How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller or request
switch, or in case of emergency, press the
engine switch to change the ignition mode
to “ON”.
NOTE:
• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the secu-
rity system will be rearmed.
• If you disconnect the battery while the
security system is in the armed condition
or the alarm is actually in operation, thealarm will be re-triggered when the bat-
tery is then reconnected.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any of the
doors, trunk/tailgate or engine hood is
opened, or the warning may be triggered
if the vehicle feels a shock (if the shock
sensor is in the enabled state), without
disarming the security system.
Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered and you then
turn the ignition mode is “ON”, the security
system indicator will blink rapidly for about
8 seconds and a buzzer will beep 4 times
during this period. If this happens, check
whether the vehicle has been broken into
while you were away from it.
Security system indication
• If any of the doors or trunk/tailgate are
opened without unlocking by the keyless
push start system remote controller, all
turn signal lights start to blink and the
interior buzzer beeps intermittently. After
5 seconds, the siren will sound for about
27.5 seconds. The security system indi-
cator continues to blink during this time.
• If the engine hood is opened, all turn sig-
nal lights blink, and the siren sounds for
about 27.5 seconds. The security sys-
tem indicator continues to blink during
this time.• If the shock sensor is in the enabled
state and the vehicle feels a shock
higher than the pre-warning sensitivity,
the siren sounds for about 2 seconds
(pre-warning). If the vehicle feel a shock
higher than the full blast warning sensi-
tivity, siren will sound for about 4.5 sec-
onds (full blast warning). The security
system indicator continues to blink
during this time.
NOTE:
If you set the full blast warning sensitivity
higher than the pre-warning sensitivity in
the setting mode of the information display,
or the vehicle feels such shock as to be
able to trigger the full blast warning, the full
blast warning will be triggered preferen-
tially. In this case, the pre-warning will not
be triggered.

Warning and Indicator Lights
Brake System Warning Light
65D477
For working check of this light, there are
following three different type of operations
depending on the vehicle's specification.
1) The light comes on briefly when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to “ON”.
2) The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the igni-
tion mode “ON”.
3) The light comes on when under either
or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid res-
ervoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (proportioning valve
function) of the ABS system fails.
If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping on the shoulder of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive
cautiously at low speed to the nearest
dealer for repairs,
or
4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer for repairs.NOTE:
Because the brake system is self-adjust-
ing, the fluid level will drop as the brake
pads become worn. Replenishing the
brake fluid reservoir is considered normal
periodic maintenance.
NOTE:
(Parking Brake Reminder Buzzer)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to release the parking brake if you
start the vehicle without releasing the park-
ing brake. Make sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake sys-
tem warning light turns off.
WA R N I N G
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.
WA R N I N G
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the brake system.
• If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the engine
has been started and the parking
brake has been fully released.
• If the brake system warning light
does not come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”.
• If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light (if equipped)
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”, the light comes on briefly so you can
check that the light is working.
If the light stays on, or comes on when
driving, there may be something wrong
with the ABS.
If this happens:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” or
change the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF) by pressing the engine switch
and then start the engine again.
If the warning light comes on briefly then
turns off, the system is normal. If the warn-
ing light still stays on, there is something
wrong in the system.If the light and the brake system warning
light stay on, or come on simultaneously
when driving, your ABS system is
equipped with the rear brake force control
function (proportioning valve function) and
there may be something wrong with both
the rear brake force control function and
anti-lock function of the ABS system.
If one of these happens, have the system
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake
system will function as an ordinary brake sys-
tem that does not have this ABS system.
Oil Pressure Light
50G051
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”, and goes out when the
engine is started. The light will come on and
remain on if there is insufficient oil pressure.
If the light comes on when driving, pull off
the road as soon as you can and stop the
engine.
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
If there is enough oil, the lubrication sys-
tem should be inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer before you drive the vehi-
cle again.
Charging Light
50G052
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”, and goes out when
the engine is started. The light will come
on and remain on if there is something
wrong with the battery charging system. If
the light comes on when the engine is run-
ning, the charging system should be
inspected immediately by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
• If you operate the engine with this
light on, severe engine damage can
result.
• Do not rely on the oil pressure light
to indicate the need to add oil. Be
sure to periodically check the
engine oil level.
