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.

WA R N I N G
• You should always lock the pas-
senger’s window operation when
there are children in the vehicle.
Children can be seriously injured if
they get part of their body caught
by the window during operation.
• To avoid injuring an occupant by
window entrapment, be sure no
part of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric windows when closing
them.
• Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle even if
only for a short time. Also do not
leave children alone in a parked
vehicle. Unattended children could
use the electric window switches
and get trapped by the window.
