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

warning that remote controller is out of
sensing range. Please contact an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer for the customiza-
tion.
• If the battery of the remote controller is
about to become completely discharged,

system may prevent the engine switch
from going back to “LOCK” (OFF) mode. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer after
doing the following:
• Lock the doors using the key to prevent
theft. (The request switches and the key-
less push start system remote controller
cannot be used to lock them.)
• Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery to prevent discharge.“LOCK” (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
The buzzer will stop sounding if you then
push the engine switch twice, thus bringing
back the ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).
• 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, check
that 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 can-
not use a request switch or keyless push
start system remote controller to lock the
doors.

fault in the system when the ignition mode
is turned to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and any door (including the

Tire rotation
4-tire rotation
54G114
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated as recom-
mended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tire pressures to the specification
listed on your vehicle’s tire information
label.

Theft deterrent alarm system
A theft deterrent alarm system is armed in
about 20 seconds after you lock the doors.
Keyless push start system – Use the
remote controller or push the request
switch on driver’s door handle, front pas-
senger’s door handle or tailgate.
Keyless entry system – Use the transmit-
ter.
Once the system is armed, any attempt to
open a door by using any other means (*)
than the keyless push start system remote
controller, the request switch, the keyless
entry system transmitter or engine hood
(for EU specification vehicle) will cause the
alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
–The key
– The lock knob on a door
– The power door locking switchNOTE:
The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
Always use the keyless push start sys-
tem remote controller, the request switch
or the keyless entry system transmitter
to unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the
alarm.
If a person who does not know the theft
deterrent alarm system is going to drive
your vehicle, we recommend you explain
the system and its operation to the per-
son, or disable the system beforehand.
Mistakenly triggering the alarm may
cause a nuisance to others.
Even if the theft deterrent alarm system
is armed, you should still be careful to
guard against theft. Do not leave money
or things of value in your vehicle.

How to arm the theft deterrent alarm
system (when enabled)
Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using
the keyless push start system remote con-
troller, the request switch or the keyless
entry system transmitter. The theft deter-
rent light (1) will start blinking, and the theft
deterrent alarm system will be armed in
about 20 seconds.
While the system is being armed, the indi-
cator continues to blink at intervals of
approximately 2 seconds.
54P000208
NOTE:
To prevent the alarm from being acciden-
tally triggered, avoid arming it while any-
one remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door or engine hood (for
EU specification vehicle) by operating
the lock knob or power door locking
switch.
The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock knobs or the power door locking
switch from inside.
If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the doors are automati-
cally locked again. At the same time, the
theft deterrent alarm system is armed if
the system is in the enabled state.How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry system
transmitter. The theft deterrent light will go
out, indicating that the theft deterrent
alarm system is disarmed.

How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the request
switch or the keyless entry system trans-
mitter, or press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON” or turn
the ignition switch to “ON” position. The
alarm will then stop.
NOTE:
Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, 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 or
engine hood (for EU specification vehi-
cle) 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
press the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to “ON” or turn the ignition
switch to “ON” position, the theft deterrent
light will blink 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 blink
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.
