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 glass, the request switches may not
operate.
• 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.
• Avoid operations of switch with sharp
objects or long nails.NOTE:
The keyless push 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.• Be sure that the driver always carries the
remote controller.
• If you lose one of the remote controllers,
ask your MARUTI 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.
• You can use up to four remote control-
lers and the keys for your vehicle. Ask
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer for details.
• The battery life of the remote controller
is about two years, but it can vary
depending on usage conditions.

Security System (Vehicle with Key-
less push start system)
The security system is armed after you
lock all doors (including engine hood and
trunk/tailgate) by using the keyless push
start system remote controller or request
switch.
Once the system is armed, any attempt to
open a door by using any other means (*)
than the keyless push start system remote
controller or open the engine hood, will
cause the alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
–The key
– The lock knob on a door
– The central door locking switch
– The tailgate unlatch button (if
equipped)
– The trunk lid unlatch button (if
equipped)
Also, in case that you have set the shock
sensor to enabled state and set sensitivity
of the pre-warning function and full blast
warning function to a level other than 0, the
warning will be triggered in case of any
attempt to tamper with the vehicle. The
shock sensor can be selected enabled or
disabled state, and sensitivity of each
warning can be adjusted as desired. To set
the shock sensor, ask your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer or use the setting mode of
the information display.NOTE:
• The default setting of the shock sensor
is in the disabled state. Set to the
enabled state and adjust sensitivity of
each warning according to your prefer-
ence. For details on how to use the infor-
mation display, refer to “Information
Display” in this section.
• Your dealer may have already set the
shock sensor of the vehicle to the
enabled state before you purchase it.
Consult your dealer for further informa-
tion.
NOTE:
• The security system generates alarms
when any of the predetermined condi-
tions is met. However, the system does
not have any function of blocking unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle.
• Always use the keyless push start system
remote controller to unlock the doors when
the security system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the alarm.
• If a person who does not know the secu-
rity system is going to drive the vehicle,
we recommend you explain the system
and its operation to the person. Mistak-
enly triggering the alarm may cause a
nuisance to others.
• Even if the security system is armed,
you should still be careful to guard
against theft. Do not leave money or
things of value in the vehicle.How to arm the security system
Lock all doors (including engine hood and
trunk/tailgate) using the keyless push start
system remote controller or request switch.
When the system is armed, the indicator
continues to blink at intervals of approxi-
mately 2 seconds.
79MH0210
NOTE:
• To prevent the alarm from being acci-
dentally triggered, avoid arming it while
anyone remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside opens the door, trunk/tailgate,
engine hood, or the warning may be trig-
gered if anyone swings the vehicle (if the
shock sensor is in the enabled state).
• The security system is not armed when
all doors are locked using the key from
outside, using the door lock knobs or the
central 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 doors
are automatically locked again. When
the doors are locked, the security sys-
tem will be armed.
• If the security system indicator (1) blinks
when the ignition mode is “ON”, there
may be something wrong with the secu-
rity system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to inspect the system.
How to disarm the security system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system remote controller. The
security system indicator will go out, indi-
cating that the security system is dis-
armed.
How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller or request
switch, or in case of emergency, press the
engine switch to change the ignition mode
to “ON”.
NOTE:
• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the secu-
rity system will be rearmed.
• If you disconnect the battery while the
security system is in the armed condition
or the alarm is actually in operation, thealarm will be re-triggered when the bat-
tery is then reconnected.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any of the
doors, trunk/tailgate or engine hood is
opened, or the warning may be triggered
if the vehicle feels a shock (if the shock
sensor is in the enabled state), without
disarming the security system.
Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered and you then
turn the ignition mode is “ON”, the security
system indicator will blink rapidly for about
8 seconds and a buzzer will beep 4 times
during this period. If this happens, check
whether the vehicle has been broken into
while you were away from it.
Security system indication
• If any of the doors or trunk/tailgate are
opened without unlocking by the keyless
push start system remote controller, all
turn signal lights start to blink and the
interior buzzer beeps intermittently. After
5 seconds, the siren will sound for about
27.5 seconds. The security system indi-
cator continues to blink during this time.
• If the engine hood is opened, all turn sig-
nal lights blink, and the siren sounds for
about 27.5 seconds. The security sys-
tem indicator continues to blink during
this time.• If the shock sensor is in the enabled
state and the vehicle feels a shock
higher than the pre-warning sensitivity,
the siren sounds for about 2 seconds
(pre-warning). If the vehicle feel a shock
higher than the full blast warning sensi-
tivity, siren will sound for about 4.5 sec-
onds (full blast warning). The security
system indicator continues to blink
during this time.
NOTE:
If you set the full blast warning sensitivity
higher than the pre-warning sensitivity in
the setting mode of the information display,
or the vehicle feels such shock as to be
able to trigger the full blast warning, the full
blast warning will be triggered preferen-
tially. In this case, the pre-warning will not
be triggered.

If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”. The reminder works as follows:1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light will blink and a buzzer
(if equipped) will sound for about 95
seconds.
3) After step 2) has finished, the reminder
light will remain on until the driver’s seat
belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
step 1) or step 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is below
about 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is above
about 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).

securely locked.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat
belts at all times. Persons who are
not wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition.
WA R N I N G
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.
