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
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

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 the AIR BAG light on the instrument clus-
ter does not blink or come on when the
ignition mode is first changed to “ON” by
pressing the engine switch, or the AIR
BAG light stays on, or comes on while driv-
ing, the air bag system (or the seat belt
pretensioner system) may not work prop-
erly. Have the air bag system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
Front Air Bags
80JS026
57L2111557L21116
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is
located behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the air bag covers to identify
the location of the air bags.

How the System WorksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration and send a signal
to the controller. If the controller judges
that the deceleration represents a severe
frontal crash, the controller will trigger the
inflators. The controller also judges:
Whether the front air bags should deploy
at reduced power or at full power accord-
ing to crash severity.
Whether the air bags should deploy at
reduced power or at full power according
to crash severity.
Whether the front passenger’s front air
bag should deploy or not based on clas-
sification of the occupant of the front
passenger’s seat.
Since your vehicle is equipped with front
side air bags, rear side air bags and side
curtain air bags, crash sensors will detect
a side collision, and if the controller judges
that the side collision is severe enough, it
will trigger the front side air bag, rear side
air bags and side curtain air bag inflators.
The inflators inflate the appropriate air
bags with nitrogen or argon gas. The
inflated air bags provide a cushion for your
head (front air bags and side curtain air
bags only) and upper body. The air bag
inflates and deflates so quickly that you
may not even realize that it has activated.
The air bag will neither hinder your view
nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
WARNING
The front passenger sensing system
may not work properly in the follow-
ing situations:
The occupant is sitting near the
dashboard or is not sitting in the
proper position.
Objects placed under the seat are
pushing up on the seat cushion.
WARNING
If the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator
on the instrument panel turns on
even though there is no occupant or
an adult occupant in the front pas-
senger’s seat, it means that some-
thing may be wrong with the
passenger sensing system. Have the
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not spill any liquids on the seat.
Liquids can damage the sensors
under the front seat.
Have the front passenger’s sensor
mat inspected by your dealer after
a collision.
Do not replace the front seats. If
you replace them, the air bags and
front passenger sensing system
may not work properly.
Do not use a seat cover. If you use
a seat cover, the front passenger
sensing system may not work prop-
erly.
2-65BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and
some powder and smoke will be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the car. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

WARNING
The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air
bags, rear side air bags and side
curtain air bags, occupants should
not lean on or sleep against the
door. In these situations, the out-of-
position occupant would be too
close to an inflating air bag, and
may suffer severe injury.
Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
For vehicles with front side air
bags, do not place seat covers on
the front seats, because seat cov-
ers could restrict the air bag’s infla-
tion. Also, do not place any cup
holders or other objects on the
door, as these objects could be
propelled by the air bag in the event
of a crash. Either of these condi-
tions may cause severe injury.
