2-9BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
NOTE:
 If the remote controller is outside the
request switch operating range
described above, you will not be able to
operate the request switch.
 If the battery of the remote controller
runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the request switch oper-
ating range may be reduced or the
remote controller may be inoperative.
 If the remote controller is too close to the
door, the request switches may not oper-
ate.
 If a spare remote controller is in the vehi-
cle, the request switches may not oper-
ate normally.
 The remote controller will only operate a
request switch if it is within the switch’s
operating range. For example, if the
remote controller is within the operating
range of the driver’s door request switch
but not the front passenger’s door
request switch, the driver’s door switch
can be operated but the front passen-
ger’s door switch cannot be operated.NOTE:
The keyless start system may not function
correctly in certain environments or under
certain operating conditions such as the
following:
 When there are strong signals coming
from a television, power station or a cel-
lular phone.
 When the remote controller is in contact
with or covered by a metal object.
 When a radio wave type remote keyless
entry is used nearby.
 When the remote controller is placed
near an electronic device such as per-
sonal computer.Some additional precautions you should
take and information you should be aware
of are:
 Make sure the key is stowed in the
remote controller. If the remote controller
becomes unreliable, you will not be able
to lock or unlock the doors, or start the
engine.
 Be sure that the driver always carries the
remote controller.
 If you lose one of the remote controllers,
ask an authorized SUZUKI dealer as
soon as possible for a replacement. Be
sure to have your dealer program the
new remote controller code in your vehi-
cle’s memory so that the old code is
erased, or perform the programming pro-
cedure yourself according to the instruc-
tions in this section.
 You can use up to four remote controllers
and keys for your vehicle. Ask an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer for details.
 The battery life of the remote controller
is about two years, but it can vary
depending on usage conditions.
CAUTION
The remote controller is a sensitive
electronic instrument. To avoid dam-
aging the remote controller:
 Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as by
leaving it on the dashboard under
direct sunlight.
 Keep the remote controller away
from magnetic objects such as a
television.

 If you attempt to lock the trunk lid with
the remote controller left inside the trunk
and the vehicle in the following condition,
the function automatically unlocks and
slightly opens the lid:
– Vehicle is parked with all doors closed
and locked.Trunk Inside Area Where Remote Con-

NOTE:
 Even with the remote controller within
the “trunk inside sensing area” (1), the
remote controller reminder function (for
trunk) may not work under any of the fol-
lowing conditions as the presence of the
remote controller may not be sensed:
– The battery of the remote controller is
low.
– The remote controller is influenced by
strong radio waves or noise.
– The remote controller is in contact with
or covered by a metallic object.
– The remote controller is in a corner of
the trunk.
 The remote controller may be sensed
under the following condition even when
the controller is not within the “trunk
inside sensing area”. The remote con-
troller reminder function (for trunk) will
then work.
– The remote controller is outside the
vehicle but very close to the trunk.Replacement of the battery
If the remote controller becomes unreli-
able, replace the battery.
To replace the battery of the remote con-
troller:
57L21022
1) Insert a flat blade screwdriver covered
with a soft cloth in the slot of the remote
controller and pry it open.
57L21023
(1) Lithium disc type battery:
CR2032 or equivalent
2) Replace the battery (1) so its + terminal
faces the bottom of the case as shown
in the illustration.
3) Close the remote controller firmly.
4) Make sure the door locks can be oper-
ated with the remote controller.
5) Dispose of the used battery properly
according to applicable rules or regula-
tions. Do not dispose of lithium batter-
ies with ordinary household trash.

Determining Compatibility of Tire
and Vehicle Load Limits
The tires on your vehicle, when they
are inflated to the recommended tire
inflation pressure, have a load-carry-
ing capacity that is greater than the
load that will be on the tires when the
vehicle is at its GVWR or GAWR limit.
Never use replacement tires that have
a load-carrying capacity less than the
original tires on your vehicle. Tire load-
carrying capacity information is
molded into the tire sidewall typically
shown as “Max. Load”. Use of replace-
ment tires with a lower load-carrying
capacity than the original tires, or fail-
ure to keep the tires inflated to recom-
mended tire pressure, may reduce the
GVWR or GAWR limit of your vehicle.
NOTE:
Use of replacement tires with a higher
load-carrying capacity than the origi-
nal tires, or using a tire inflation pres-
sure higher than the recommended
tire inflation pressure, will not increase
the GVWR or GAWR limit of your vehi-
cle.
Battery
60A269
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery that
requires infrequent maintenance. You will
never have to add water. You should, how-
ever, periodically check the battery, battery
terminals and battery hold-down bracket
for corrosion. Remove corrosion using a
stiff brush and ammonia mixed with water,
or baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
The test indicator on the top of the battery
provides information on the condition of
the battery.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.
WARNING
Batteries produce flammable hydro-
gen gas. Keep flames and sparks
away from the battery or an explosion
may occur. Never smoke when work-
ing near the battery.
WARNING
When checking or servicing the bat-
tery, disconnect the negative cable.
Be careful not to cause a short circuit
by allowing metal objects to contact
the battery posts and the vehicle at
the same time.EXAMPLE
WARNING
To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section of
this manual if it is necessary to jump
start your vehicle.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after han-
dling.
