Certain problems like a fault in engine
system may prevent the engine switch
from going back to the “LOCK” (OFF)
mode. If this happens, have the vehicle
inspected by an autohorized SUZUKI
dealer after doing the following:
– Lock the doors using the key to pre-
vent theft. (The request switches and
the keyless start system remote con-
troller cannot be used to lock them.) – Disconnect the negative cable from
the battery to prevent discharge.
“LOCK” (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
If the driver’s door is opened without
returning the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF) by pressing the engine switch, a
buzzer sounds to warn you of this state.
 If you open the driver’s door after press- ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to “ACC”, the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.
 The buzzer will stop sounding if you then push the engine switch twice, thus bring-
ing it back the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF).
NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, make
sure you have returned the ignition mode
to “LOCK” (OFF) using the engine switch
and then lock the doors. Without returning
the ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF), you
cannot use a request switch or keyless
start system remote controller to lock the
doors.

2WD/i-AWD Switch OperationOperate the 2WD/i-AWD switch according
to the appropriate procedure described
below:
How to turn on 2WD/i-AWD switch
2WD/i-AWD switch will activate when the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”.
From 2WD to i-AWD
Push the 2WD/i-AWD switch in, and the “i-
AWD” indicator will come on.
57L30044
From i-AWD to 2WD
Push the “2WD/i-AWD” switch so that it
releases, and the “i-AWD” indicator will
turn off.
NOTE:
 The 2WD/i-AWD switch can be operated
when the vehicle is either stopped or
moving.
 Make sure that the front wheels are in
the straight ahead position when operat-
ing the 2WD/i-AWD switch.
 While making turns or accelerating and
decelerating, operating the 2WD/i-AWD
switch or pressing the engine switch tochange the ignition mode to “ACC” or
“LOCK” in the “i-AWD” mode may cause
a shock, but this is not a system mal-
function.
 When you operate your vehicle under
conditions that involve wheel spin, such
as driving off-road in the sand or water
or when a wheel has run off the road, the
difference in the amount of revolution
between front wheels and rear wheels
increases (wheels run idle). If this state
continues, the oil temperature of the
driving system parts increases.
The “i-AWD” warning light warns of this
condition by blinking. At the same time,
the information display on the instrument
cluster shows this message: “AWD SYS-
TEM HIGH TEMP AWD IS OFF”.
57L30042
When the “i-AWD” warning light comes
on after you have operated your vehicle
in the i-AWD mode continuously, park
the vehicle at a safe place and run the
engine idle. After some time, the “i-AWD”
indicator light turns on again and the
driving mode returns to the “i-AWD”
mode.
CAUTION
 Note that i-AWD vehicles are not
all-around vehicles. Be sure to
observe the following instructions
when driving your vehicle.
– Do not drive through water such
as by crossing a river.
– Do not drive continuously in
places such as sand and mud
where front wheels tend to race.
– When any wheel is in the air for
such reason as running off the
road, do not race it needlessly.
 If the “i-AWD” warning light comes
on or blinks when driving, there
may be something wrong with the i-
AWD system. Have the system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
 The information display shows the
“AWD SYSTEM HIGH TEMP AWD IS
OFF” message whenever the “i-
AWD” warning light comes on or
blinks.
