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.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
WARNING
Never leave the keyless start system
remote controller in the vehicle when
leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION
The keyless start system remote con-
troller is a sensitive electronic instru-
ment. To avoid damaging the keyless
start system remote controller:
 Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as
on the dashboard under direct sun-
light.
 Keep the keyless start system
remote controller away from mag-
netic objects.

Each of the rear doors is equipped with a
child lock which can be used to help pre-
vent unwanted opening of the door from
inside the vehicle. When the lock lever is in
the “LOCK” position (1), the rear door can
only be opened from outside. When the
lock lever is in the “UNLOCK” position (2),
the rear door can be opened from inside or
outside.

To open the trunk lid, lift it while pressing
the trunk lid request switch (1).
The trunk lid request switch (1) operates
when the keyless start system remote con-
troller is within the switch’s operating
range.
If the remote controller is within the operat-
ing range, you can also unlatch and let the
trunk lid slightly open by holding the
“TRUNK LID UNLOCK” button on the
remote controller pressed for more than 1
second. Refer to “Keyless Start System
Remote Controller” in this section.
The trunk lid request switch (1) operates
only to open the trunk lid.
If you close the trunk lid with the keyless
start system remote controller left in the
trunk with all the doors locked, the trunk
will be automatically unlatched.
57L21011
You can unlock the lid by pushing the trunk
lid unlatch switch (2).

Check that you have the remote con-
troller whenever you close the trunk
lid, or there is a risk of leaving the
remote controller inside the closed
trunk lid.

Always make sure that the trunk lid is
closed and latched securely. Other-
wise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. Completely closing it also

Internal Trunk Release
57L21012
There is a release lever located inside the

lever is for emergency use so that if a per-
son, such as a child, gets trapped in the
trunk compartment, he can exit the vehicle.
The lever glows in the dark, after a brief
exposure to ambient light, so it can be
found easily. It is operated by pulling it in
the direction of the arrow.

NOTE:
 Even with the remote controller within
the “inside sensing area”, the request
switch warning buzzer/remote controller
reminder function may not work under
any of the following 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 the glove
box or a stowage for small articles
such as a door pocket.
– The remote controller is on the top or
in front of the instrument panel, in the
sun visor pocket or on the floor.
 The remote controller may be sensed
under any of the following conditions
even when the controller is not within the
“inside sensing area”. The request
switch warning buzzer/remote controller
reminder function will then work.
– The remote controller is outside the
vehicle but very close to it.

NOTE:
 If the remote controller is outside the
trunk lid request switch operating range
described above, you will not be able to
operate the switch.
 If the battery of the remote controller
runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the trunk lid request
switch operating range may be reduced
or the remote controller may be inopera-
tive.
 If the remote controller is too close to the
trunk lid, the trunk lid request switch may
not operate.
 If a spare remote controller is in the
trunk, the trunk lid request switch may
not operate normally.

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.
