you insert the key into the ignition switch
during this time, the light will start to fade
out immediately.
Be sure the doors are locked after you
operate the “LOCK” button. If no door is
opened within about 30 seconds after the

The maximum operating distance is
about 5 m (16 ft.), but this can vary
depending on the surroundings, espe-
cially near other transmitting devices
such as radio towers or CB (Citizen’s
Band) radios.
The door locks can not be operated with
the transmitter if the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition switch.
If you lose one of the transmitters, ask

for a replacement and to have the lost
one deactivated, or perform the pro-
gramming procedure yourself.“PANIC” button function

Programming/Removing the transmit-
ter code yourself
Your new vehicle was originally equipped
with two transmitters.
If you have lost one of the transmitters, you
should change the transmitter code in your
vehicle’s memory as soon as possible for
security. If you purchase additional trans-
mitters, the new transmitters need to be
programmed into your vehicle’s memory.
You can perform this yourself by using the
following procedure:
NOTE:
You can program up to four transmitter
codes into your vehicle’s memory. The
four codes may be the same or different.
If you try to program a fifth code, the old-
est code will be cleared automatically.
To purchase new transmitters, see your
SUZUKI dealer.
Before you begin programming, have all
of your transmitters available.To program the new transmitter
1) Confirm that all the doors are closed
and the ignition key is out of the ignition
cylinder.
2) Open the driver’s door.
3) Insert the key, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position, turn the ignition
switch to the “OFF” position and
remove the key within 10 seconds.
54G404
4) Push and release the driver’s door
switch (1) 3 times, insert the key, and
turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion within 20 seconds.
5) Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position and remove the key within 10
seconds. All doors will lock/unlock to
confirm that this process has been
properly done.
52D212
6) Press the “UNLOCK” button (2) on the
transmitter one time within 20 seconds
(after step 5). All the doors will lock/
unlock to confirm that the process has
been completed and the transmitter has
been programmed.

transmitter, repeat the procedure from
step 1) through step 6).
8) Make sure that the keyless entry sys-
tem operates properly by operating
each transmitter.

Trunk Lid
54G287
54G495
To unlock the lid, insert the key and turn it
clockwise. You can also unlock the lid by
pulling the release lever (if equipped)located to the outboard side of the driver’s
seat.
To lock the lid, lower the lid and press
down on it. The lid is locked automatically.
Internal Trunk Release
54G297
There is a release lever located inside the
trunk, on the rear part of the trunk lid. This
lever is for emergency use so that if a per-
son, such as a child, gets trapped in the
trunk compartment, he can exit the vehicle.
The lever glows in the dark, after a brief
exposure to ambient light, so it can be
found easily. It is operated by pushing it
down in the direction of the arrow.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Always make sure that the trunk lid is
closed and latched securely. Other-
wise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. Also completely closing it
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the car.
CAUTION
Do not use the key to lift up the trunk
lid, or the key may break off in the
lock.
WARNING
To help avoid situations where some-
one might get trapped in the trunk,
keep your vehicle locked when unat-
tended, and do not allow anyone to
play in the trunk.EXAMPLE

Lap-Shoulder BeltEmergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, then
pull the belt across your body more slowly.
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
The front passenger’s seat belt and the
rear seat belts have emergency locking
retractors (ELRs) that can be temporarily
converted to function as automatic locking
retractors (ALRs). The ALR mode should
be used if you need to secure a child
restraint system in the seat. Refer to the
“Child Restraint Systems” section for
details.Safety reminder
60A038
60A040
To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a collision, position the lap portion
of the belt across your lap as low on your
hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit
WARNING
(Continued)
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
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.

tion as an automatic locking retractor
(ALR).

2) Allow the extra webbing to retract, and
pull the webbing toward the retractor to
take up any slack. Make sure that the
lap portion of the belt is tight around the
child restraint system and the shoulder
portion of the belt is positioned so that it
can not interfere with the child’s head or
neck.

3) Make sure that the retractor has con-
verted to the ALR mode by trying to pull
webbing out of the retractor. If the
retractor is in the ALR mode, the belt
will be locked.
