ence with your vehicle’s ignition sys-
tem, resulting in vehicle performance

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, you
should 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.
