Luggage Compartment Cover Luggage or other cargo placed in the lug-
gage compartment can be hidden from
view by a luggage compartment cover.
However, the luggage compartment cov-
ers are not designed to support items
loaded on top of them, and may get dam-
aged if used as a shelf.

partment cover.To remove the luggage compartment
cover:
66J203
1) Release the three hooks (a) from the
rear seat backs.
WARNING
The luggage restraint loops and
optional rubber net can be used to
help keep lightweight cargo from
moving around in the luggage com-
partment during normal driving. They
are neither capable of nor intended
for preventing cargo from being
thrown around in a crash.
Place heavier objects on the floor
and as far forward in the cargo area
as possible. Never pile cargo higher
than the top of the seat backs.
WARNING
Do not attach the child restraint top
strap to the luggage restraint loops.
Incorrectly attached top strap will
reduce the intended effectiveness of
the child restraint system.
WARNING
Do not carry items on top of the lug-
gage compartment cover, even if they
are small and light. Objects on top of
the cover could be thrown about in
an accident, causing injury, or could
obstruct the driver’s rear view.

You can use the roof rails or the roof rack
anchors to attach the optional roof rack
which is available at your SUZUKI dealer.
If you use a roof rack, observe the instruc-
tions and precautions in this section and
provided with the roof rack.
(For vehicles with roof rack anchors)
To remove the cap, slide the cap in the
direction of the arrow (1) and then lift the
edge of the cap up as shown in the illustra-
tion. To install the cap, put in the front part
of the cap, slide the cap in the opposite
direction of the arrow (1) and then push
down the rear part of the cap.
 Make sure the roof rack is securely
installed.
 To mount various types of cargo (such
as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-
able attachments which are available
from your SUZUKI dealer. Be sure to
install the attachments properly and
securely according to the instructions
provided. Do not mount cargo directly on
the roof panel. The cargo can damage
the roof panel.
 The gross weight of the roof rack plus
cargo must not exceed the loading
capacity (75 kg (165 lbs)). Also, do not
let the gross vehicle weight (fully loaded
vehicle including driver, passengers,
cargo, roof load and trailer tongue
weight) exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the
driver’s door lock pillar. Mount and secure the cargo onto the
roof rack properly according to the
instructions provided. Be sure to stow
the heaviest items at the bottom and dis-
tribute the cargo as evenly as possible.
 Do not carry items so large that they
hang over the bumpers or the sides of
the vehicle, or block your view.
 Secure the front and rear ends of long
items – such as wood panels, surfboards
and so forth – to both the front and rear
of the vehicle. You should protect the
painted surfaces of the vehicle from
scuffing caused by tie-down ropes.
 Check periodically to make sure the roof
rack is securely installed and free from
damage.
 For vehicles with roof rack anchors,
make sure the anchors are covered with
the caps when not in use.
WARNING
 Abrupt maneuvers or failure to
properly secure cargo can allow
the cargo to fly off the vehicle and
hit others, causing personal injury
or property damage.
 Mount cargo securely and avoid
abrupt maneuvers such as “jack-
rabbit” starts, sharp turns, fast cor-
nering and sudden braking. Check
periodically to make sure that
cargo is securely fastened.
 Large, bulky, long, or flat items can
affect vehicle aerodynamics or be
caught by the wind, and can reduce
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent and personal injury. Drive
cautiously at reduced speed when
carrying this type of cargo.

Controls, Inc.
The HomeLink
® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters used to activate devices such
as gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, security systems, even
home lighting. Additional HomeLink
® infor-
mation can be found on the Internet at
www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-
355-3515.
Before programming HomeLink
® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure that people and objects are out
of the way of the device to prevent poten-
tial harm or damage. When programming a
garage door opener, it is advised to park
outside of the garage. Do not use
HomeLink
® with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features
as required by U.S. federal safety stan-dards (this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1,
1982). A garage door that cannot detect an
object – signaling the door to stop and
reverse – does not meet current U.S. fed-
eral safety standards. For more informa-
tion, contact HomeLink
® at
www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-
355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
® programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
® buttons be
erased for security purposes. Refer to
“Programming HomeLink
®” (step 1) only)
or, for assistance, contact HomeLink

Programming HomeLink
®
NOTE:
Some vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the second (or
“accessories”) position or the “on” position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink
®. It is also recommended that a
new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink
® for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal. Do not repeat “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” – step 1) to train addi-
tional devices to a second or thirdHomeLink
® button. Begin with “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” – step 2).

tor light begins to flash (after 20 sec-
onds). Do not hold the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat step 1) to program a second
and/or third hand-held transmitter to the
remaining two HomeLink
® buttons.
2) Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 5–14 cm (1–3 inches) away
from the HomeLink
® button you wish to
program while keeping the indicator
light in view.
3) Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink® and hand-held
transmitter buttons. Do not release the

Gate Operator / Canadian Program-
mingCanadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
® to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having dif-
ficulties programming a gate operator by
using the Programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
“Programming HomeLink
®” step 3) with
the following:
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to pre-
vent possible overheating.
3) Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink
® button while you press and
release – every two seconds (“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter until the fre-
quency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink
®. (The indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®”
step 4) to complete.
Using HomeLink
®
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink
® button. Activation
will now occur for the trained device (i.e.
garage door opener, gate operator, secu-
rity system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-
held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time. In the event that there
are still programming difficulties or ques-
tions, contact HomeLink
® at
www.homelink.com
or 1-800-355-3515.
Erasing HomeLink
® Buttons
To erase programming from the three but-
tons (individual buttons cannot be erased
but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined
below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
®
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash-after 20 seconds. Release both but-
tons. Do not hold for longer that 30 sec-
onds. HomeLink
® is now in the train (or
learning) mode and can be programmed at
any time beginning with “Programming
HomeLink
®” – step 2).
