BEFORE DRIVING
54P00-01E
NOTE:
• Under the following conditions, the rain
sensor may not be able to sense rain or
snow correctly, and thus the rain-sensing
wiper function may not work or may work
incorrectly. (Use a position other than
“AUTO” under these conditions.)
– Rain or snow does not hit the rain sen-
sor area of the windshield, or the snow
is not of a type that is able to be
detected by the sensor.
– The rain sensor area is covered with
mud, ice or other similar substance.
You should remove any foreign sub-
stance.– There were already raindrops on the
windshield before starting rain-sensing
wiper operation. You should remove
the raindrops by operating the wipers
under manual control.
– The rain sensor is hotter than 80°C
(176°F) in the sun or lower than –10°C
(14°F) in freezing weather. (The wip-
ers do not operate under this condi-
tion.)
– The windshield is coated with a water-
repellent substance, which causes
raindrops to run down quickly. This will
give a clearer view and the wipers
may seem to operate too frequently. In
this case, decrease the system’s sen-
sitivity.
– The sensor area is covered with a
sticker.
– The wiper blades are damaged. You
should replace them.
• The following conditions may indicate
problems with the rain-sensing wiper
system. If your system exhibits any of
the following conditions, have it
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
– Rainfall/snowfall rate varies but the
wiping interval remains constant.
– Rain/snow is falling but the wipers do
not operate.Reprogramming the rain-sensing wiper
function
“AUTO” position operation of the rain-
sensing wiper function can be customized
to your preference by reprogramming its
setting as follows. Please contact an
authorized SUZUKI dealer for this customi-
zation.
Full-automatic wiping (factory setting)
The system automatically selects the most
appropriate of the following wiping modes:
no wiping, intermittent wiping, low-speed
wiping or high-speed wiping.
Semi-automatic wiping
The system automatically selects the most
appropriate of the following wiping modes:
intermittent wiping, low-speed wiping or
high-speed wiping. (The wipers do not stop
automatically.)
Intermittent wiping
The wipers operate only in the intermittent
wiping mode. The wiping interval can be
changed with the knob on the control lever.
CAUTION
• Observe the following instructions
when the wiper lever is set to
“AUTO” position with the engine
switch in “ON” mode. Otherwise,
the wipers could unexpectedly
operate and cause injury, and could
also be damaged.
– Do not touch or wipe the rain
sensor area of the windshield
with a cloth.
– Do not hit the windshield or rain
sensor.
• Set the wiper control lever to “OFF”
position before washing the vehicle
in an automatic car wash or clean-
ing the windshield.

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.
