troller code yourself
Your new vehicle was originally equipped
with two remote controllers.
If you have lost one of the remote control-
lers, you should change the remote con-
troller code in your vehicle’s memory as
soon as possible for security. If you pur-
chase additional remote controllers, the
new remote controllers need to be pro-
grammed into your vehicle’s memory. You
can perform this yourself by using the fol-
lowing procedure:
NOTE:
 You can program up to four remote con-
troller codes into your vehicle’s memory.
The four codes may be the same or dif-
ferent.
 If you try to program a fifth code, the four
remote controller codes that are pro-
grammed will be cleared automatically.
 If you program a new remote controller
code, all of the old remote controller
codes that are in your vehicle’s memory
will be erased automatically. When you
program a new remote controller, youshould reprogram any additional remote
controllers at the same time.
 To purchase new remote controllers, see
your SUZUKI dealer.
 Before you begin programming, have all
of your remote controllers available.
To program a new remote controller
1) Close all the doors of the vehicle.
2) Sit in the driver’s seat and confirm that
the driver’s door is unlocked.
3) Insert the key into the ignition switch.

 Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased commer-
cially and should be used. Make
sure that the system you purchase
meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Read and follow all the
directions provided by the manu-
facturer.
 Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
 For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
 All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving,
or seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
