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.

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:

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.

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.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
(if equipped)
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, then
pull the belt across your body more slowly.
Safety reminder

60A040
To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a collision, position the lap portion
of the belt across your lap as low on your
hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit
by pulling the shoulder portion of the belt
upward through the latch plate. The length

(Continued)
• Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
• Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated, or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
• Children age 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
• Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased locally and
should be used. Make sure that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided
by the manufacturer.

• For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
• Do not insert any items such as
coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt
buckle, the seat belt may not work
properly.
• All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving,
or seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.
