LEAK DETECTION PUMPNOTE:
Your vehicle has a pump to regularly check
the vehicle’s evaporative emission control
system for leaks. This check is performed
approximately five hours after the engine is
turned off. During this leak check, you may
hear a sound coming from the vehicle for
several minutes. This sound is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.

Immobilizer SystemThe immobilizer system is an anti-theft fea-
ture, which checks whether the keyless
start system remote controller that is com-
municating via radio waves with the vehicle
has been registered to the vehicle’s key-
less start system. If the remote controller is
not a registered one, the system will refuse
to start the engine using it.Immobilizer/Keyless Start System
Warning Light
85K2210
This light is on the instrument cluster.
 When you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
light comes on briefly so you can check
that the light is working. If the light is
flashing, the engine cannot be started.
 The light also flashes when the “remote
controller outside” warning works.NOTE:
 The immobilizer/keyless start system is
normal if this light goes out in 2 seconds
after pressing the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”. If the
light fails to go out in this period, there is
something wrong with the system. There
is also a problem with the system if the
light remains on for 5 seconds after the
engine switch is pressed when the
switch is in any other ignition mode than
“ON”.
 Illumination or flashing of the light may
be accompanied by a message on the
information display in the instrument
cluster.
NOTE:
 If you lose your keyless start system
remote controller, see your SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible to have the
lost one deactivated, then have the new
remote controller made by them.
 If you own other vehicles with keyless
start system remote controller, keep
those remote controllers away from the
engine switch when using your SUZUKI,
or the engine may not be started
because they may interfere with your
SUZUKI’s immobilizer system.
 In case of attaching any metal objects to
the keyless start system remote control-
ler, it may not start the engine.1. For USA

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.
Remote Controller Reminder Function

This function prevents the remote control-
ler from being left under a locked trunk lid.
 If you attempt to lock the trunk lid with
the remote controller left inside the trunk
and the vehicle in the following condition,

How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
change the ignition mode to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The alarm will then
stop.
NOTE:
 Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless start
system remote controller or by pushing
the request switch, the theft deterrent
alarm system will be rearmed with a
delay of about 20 seconds.
 If you disconnect the battery while the
theft deterrent alarm system is in the
armed condition or the alarm is actually
in operation, the alarm will be triggered
or re-triggered when the battery is then
reconnected, although, in the latter case,
the alarm remains stopped for the period
between disconnection and reconnec-
tion of the battery.
 Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door is
opened without disarming the theft
deterrent alarm system.Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered due to an unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle and you then
change the ignition mode to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch, the theft deterrent
light will flash rapidly for about 8 seconds
and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this
period. If this happens, check whether your
vehicle has been broken into while you
were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either “enabled” or “disabled”.
When enabled (factory setting)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
hazard warning lights to flash for about 40
seconds if any of the alarm trigger condi-
tions is met. The system also causes the
interior buzzer to beep intermittently for
about 10 seconds, which is followed by
intermittent sounding of the horn for about
30 seconds.
*The theft deterrent light continues to flash
during this time.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays dis-
armed even if you perform any system
arming operation.How to switch the state of the theft
deterrent alarm system
You can switch the theft deterrent alarm
system from the enabled state to the dis-
abled state, and vice versa, using the fol-
lowing method.

aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.
WARNING
Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the safety belt in a crash.
