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.

• 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.

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

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
