NOTE:
The keyless start system may not function
correctly in certain environments or under
certain operating conditions such as the
following:
When there are strong signals coming
from a television, power station or a cel-
lular phone.
When the remote controller is in contact
with or covered by a metal object.
When a radio wave type remote keyless
entry is used nearby.
When the remote controller is placed
near an electronic device such as per-
sonal computer.
Some additional precautions you should
take and information you should be aware
of are:
Make sure the ignition key is stowed in
the remote controller. If the remote con-
troller becomes unreliable, you will notbe able to lock or unlock the doors or
start the engine.
Be sure that the driver always carries the
remote controller.
If you lose one of the remote controllers,
ask your SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible for a replacement. Be sure to have
your dealer program the new remote
controller code in your vehicle’s memory
so that the old code is erased, or per-
form the programming procedure your-
self according to the instructions in this
section.
You can use up to four remote controllers
and ignition keys for your vehicle. Ask
your SUZUKI dealer for details.
The battery life of the remote controller
is about two years, but it can vary
depending on usage conditions.

If the AIR BAG light on the instrument clus-
ter does not blink when the ignition switch
is first turned to the “ON” position, or the
AIR BAG light stays on, or comes on while
driving, the air bag system (or the seat belt
pretensioner system) may not work prop-
erly. Have the air bag system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
Front Air Bags
80JS026
79J059
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel. The
words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into the
air bag cover to identify the location of theair bag. The front passenger’s front air bag
is located behind the passenger’s side of
the dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG”
are molded into the air bag cover to identify
the location of the air bag.
Frontal collision range
60G032
Front air bags are designed to inflate only
in severe frontal collisions.

According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than in front seating posi-
tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends you install child restraints in the
rear seat.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to enable the front passenger’sfront air bag when the system senses a
properly-seated adult in the front passen-
ger’s seat. When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the air bag to be
enabled, the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indica-
tor will remain off to remind you that the air
bag is active.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger’s seat and the “PASS AIR
BAG OFF” indicator comes on, it could be
because that person isn’t sitting properly in
the seat. If this happens, unfasten the seat
belts, sit upright in the center of the seat
with the seatback nearly vertical and your
legs outstretched, and refasten the seat
belt.
52D258
When seated as shown in the above illus-
tration, the front passenger sensing sys-
tem senses a properly-seated occupant
and enables the air bag.When using a seat belt extender, follow the
instructions in the “Seat Belt Extender”
section.
WARNING
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be seriously injured.
The back of a rear-facing child
restraint would be too close to the
inflating air bag.
WARNING
Do not place any heavy objects on
the front passenger’s seat. The pres-
sure sensors in the sensor mat could
be damaged and the front passenger
sensing system may not work prop-
erly.
WARNING
The front passenger sensing system
may not work properly in the follow-
ing situations:
The occupant is sitting near the
dashboard or is not sitting in the
proper position.
Objects placed under the seat are
pushing up on the seat cushion.
WARNING
If the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator
on the instrument panel turns on
even though there is no occupant or
an adult occupant in the front pas-
senger’s seat, it means that some-
thing may be wrong with the
passenger sensing system. Have the
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.

How the System WorksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration and send a signal
to the controller. If the controller judges
that the deceleration represents a severe
frontal crash, the controller will trigger the
inflators. The controller also judges:
Whether the front air bags should deploy
at reduced power or at full power accord-
ing to crash severity.
Whether the air bags should deploy at
reduced power or at full power according
to crash severity, driver’s seat fore/aft
position and whether or not the front
passenger’s seat belt is fastened.
Whether the front passenger’s front air
bag should deploy or not based on clas-
sification of the occupant of the front
passenger’s seat.
Since your vehicle is equipped with side air
bags, and side curtain air bags, crash sen-
sors will detect a side collision, and if the
controller judges that the side collision is
severe enough, it will trigger the side air
bag and side curtain air bag inflators.
The inflators inflate the appropriate air
bags with nitrogen or argon gas. The
inflated air bags provide a cushion for your
head (front air bags and side curtain air
bags only) and upper body. The air bag
inflates and deflates so quickly that you
may not even realize that it has activated.
The air bag will neither hinder your view
nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and
some powder and smoke will be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the car. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
WARNING
Do not spill any liquids on the seat.
Liquids can damage the sensors
under the front seat.
Have the driver’s seat position sen-
sor and the front passenger’s sen-
sor mat inspected by your dealer
after a collision.
Do not replace the front seats. If
you replace them, the air bags and
front passenger sensing system
may not work properly.
Do not use a seat cover. If you use
a seat cover, the front passenger
sensing system may not work prop-
erly.

Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a collision, the col-
lision may not have been severe enough to
trigger the front, side, or side curtain air
bags to inflate. If your car sustains ANY
front-end or side damage, have the air bag
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer to ensure it is in proper
working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment, and whether the
front seat belts were in use.Servicing the Air Bag SystemIf the air bags inflate, have the air bags and
related components replaced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, have the air bag system inspected
by the SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason,
only an authorized SUZUKI dealer should
be allowed to service or replace your air
bags. Please remind anyone who services
your SUZUKI that it has air bags.
WARNING
The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air
bags and side curtain air bags,
occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door. In these sit-
uations, the out-of-position occu-
pant would be too close to an
inflating air bag, and may suffer
severe injury.
Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
For vehicles with side air bags, do
not place seat covers on the front
seats, because seat covers could
restrict the air bag’s inflation. Also,
do not place any cup holders or
other objects on the door, as these
objects could be propelled by the
air bag in the event of a crash.
Either of these conditions may
cause severe injury.

You can let the climate control system work
automatically. To set the system in fully-
automatic operation, follow the procedure
below.
1) Set the desired temperature by turning
the temperature selector (1).
2) Turn the blower speed selector (2) to
the “AUTO” position.
3) Turn the air flow selector (3) to the
“AUTO” position.
Then the blower speed selector/air intake
selector (2) and air flow selector (3) are
controlled automatically to maintain the set
temperature.
The air conditioning switch (1) is to be
selected manually according to your taste.When you turn the air conditioning switch
off, the climate control system cannot
lower the inside temperature below outside
temperature.
To turn the climate control system off, turn
the blower speed selector (2) to the “OFF”
position

To find your comfortable zone, start with
the 75°F (25°C) setting.
If you turn the temperature selector (1) to
the highest or lowest limit, the climate
control system will operate at the maxi-
mum cooling or heating and the blower
will run at nearly full speed.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather
or hot air in hot weather, the system will
delay turning on the blower until warmed
or chilled air is available.
If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly.
Even under the automatic operation, you
can set some of the blower speed selec-
tor/air intake selector (2) and air flow
selector (3) into manual mode. Then the
manually selected function is maintained
preferentially, and the other functions
remain under automatic operation.
To return the air intake selector (2) to
automatic operation when both the
blower speed selector (2) and the air
flow selector (3) are in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, turn either the selector (2) or (3) toa position other than “AUTO”, then turn
to the “AUTO” position again.
