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.
4) Complete steps 1 through 6 described
below within 25 seconds after step 3).

your SUZUKI dealer.To change the old remote controller
codes in your vehicle’s memory

lers, you should change the remote con-
troller codes in your vehicle’s memory as
soon as possible for security.
To erase the remote controller code(s) in
your vehicle’s memory, you should pro-
gram the new remote controller code. The
old codes in your vehicle’s memory will be
erased automatically. If you have more
remote controller(s), you must program all
of the remote controller codes at the same

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.
