CVT – If the gearshift lever is not in the
“P” (Park) position, shift it to “P”. Hold
the brake pedal fully depressed.
3) The PUSH START SWITCH. message
will appear on the information display in
the instrument cluster. Press the engine
switch (1).
4) Within about 10 seconds of flashing of the master warning light in the instru-
ment cluster, touch the engine switch
with the lock switch end of the remote
controller (2) for about 2 seconds.
NOTE:
If you still cannot start the engine after several attempts using the above
method, there may be a problem else-
where, such as a low battery. Contact
your SUZUKI dealer for inspection.
The immobilizer/keyless start system warning light will light for about 5 sec-
onds while the master warning light is
flashing. In addition, the information dis-
play will show a certain message during
this time. Refer to “Information Display”
in the “Before Driving” section for details.
You may customize the system to cause the interior buzzer to sound once for the
“remote controller ou t of sensing range”
warning. Please contact an authorized
SUZUKI dealer for the customization.
If the battery of the remote controller is about to be completely discharged, a
message warning this will appear on the
information display when the ignition
mode is changed to “ON” by pressing the engine switch. For details on replac-
ing the battery, refer to the “Keyless Start
System Remote Controller” section in
the “Before Driving” chapter.
Returning the ignition mode to
“LOCK” (OFF)CVT
– To ensure safety, the ignition mode
can be returned to “LOCK” (OFF) by
pressing the engine switch only when the
gearshift lever is placed in the “P” position.
NOTE:
Messages may appear on the informa- tion display in the instrument cluster
when you attempt to return the ignition
mode to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch. Refer to “Information dis-
play” in the “Before Driving” section for
details.
In the case of a CVT model, the engine cannot be returned to the “LOCK” (OFF)
position if the gearshift lever is in any
other position than “P”.
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.

The light comes on when the door is
opened. After closing all doors, the light
will remain on for about 15 seconds and
then fade out. If you press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
“ACC” or “ON” during this time, the light will

The gross weight of the roof rack plus
cargo must not exceed the loading
capacity (50 kg (110 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 in 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.

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-

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
57L20-03E
Tire Inflation Pressure
Tire inflation pressure should be
checked when the tire is cold. “Cold
tire inflation pressure” is the pressure
in a tire that has been driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km) or has been standing
for three hours or more.
80JS025
The front and rear tire pressure speci-
fications for your vehicle are shown
below and are listed on the Tire and
Loading Information Label, which is
located on the driver’s door lock pillar.
The Tire and Loading Information
Label contains the following informa-
tion: Seating Capacity
Maximum Allowed Combined
Weight of Occupants and Cargo
Original Tire Size
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation
Pressure of Original Tires
Size of Compact Spare Tire
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation
Pressure of Compact Spare TireNOTE:
The tire inflation pressure will change
due to changes in atmospheric pres-
sure, temperature or tire temperature
when driving. To reduce the chance
that the low tire pressure warning light
will come on due to normal changes in
temperature and atmospheric pres-
sure, it is important to check and
adjust the tire pressures when the tires
are cold. Tires that appear to be at the
specified pressure when checked after
driving, when the tires are warm, could
have pressure below the specification
when the tires cool down. Also, tires
that are inflated to the specified pres-
sure in a warm garage may have pres-
sure below the specification when the
vehicle is driven outside in very cold
temperature. If you adjust the tire
pressure in a garage that is warmer
than the outside temperature, you
should add 1 psi to the recommended
cold tire inflation pressure for every
10°F difference between garage tem-
perature and outside temperature.EXAMPLE
