Keys
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical
keys. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
One key can open all of the locks on the
vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on
the keys. Keep the tag (if equipped) in a
safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
Write the number below for your future ref-
erence.
Immobilizer system
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
or keyless push start system remote con-
troller, which has an electronic identifica-
tion code programmed into it. The key or
remote controller communicates the identi-
fication code to the vehicle when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”. If you need to make
spare keys or remote controllers, see your
SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be pro-
grammed with the correct identification
code for the spare. A key made by an ordi-
nary locksmith will not work.

If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition
mode is “ON”, the engine will not start.NOTE:
If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks or comes on, a
message may be shown on the information
display.
For vehicles without a keyless push
start system
If this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” position, and then turn it back to
“ON” position.
If the light still blinks after the ignition
switch is turned back to “ON” position,
there may be something wrong with your
key or with the immobilizer system. Ask
your SUZUKI dealer to have the system
inspected.
For vehicles with a keyless push start
system
If this light blinks, change the ignition mode
to “LOCK” (OFF), and then change it back
to “ON”. Also refer to “If the master warn-
ing indicator light blinks and the engine
cannot be started” in “Starting engine
(vehicle with keyless push start system)” in
“OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
If the light still blinks after the ignition mode
is changed back to “ON”, there may be
something wrong with your key or with the
immobilizer system. Ask your SUZUKI
dealer to have the system inspected. KEY NUMBER:

pens, ask your SUZUKI dealer to check
the air bag system as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that rea-
son, only an authorized SUZUKI dealer
should be allowed to service or replace
your air bags. Remind anyone who ser-
vices your SUZUKI vehicle that it has air
bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended air bag
deployment or could render the air bag
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, check that the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in “LOCK” position or the ignition
mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for at least
90 seconds before performing any electri-
cal service work on your SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch air bag system components
or wires. The wires are wrapped with yel-
low tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers
are yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.Front passenger air bag deactiva-tion system (if equipped)
54P000228
The front passenger’s front air bag must
be deactivated if a child restraint system is
to be installed on the front passenger’s
seat.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, “PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ON” indicator (1) or
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator (2)
shows whether the front passenger’s air
bag is activated or deactivated.When the front passenger’s air bag is acti-
vated, both “PASSENGER AIRBAG ON”
indicator (1) and “PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF” indicator (2) come on for a few sec-
onds and then go out.
After that, only “PASSENGER AIRBAG
ON” indicator (1) comes on for about 1
minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger’s air bag is
deactivated, both “PASSENGER AIRBAG
ON” indicator (1) and “PASSENGER AIR-
BAG OFF” indicator (2) come on for a few
seconds and then go out.
After that, only “PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF” indicator (2) comes on.
When you activate or deactivate the front
passenger’s air bag, check which indicator
is on before starting the engine.
Side air bags, side curtain air bags and
seat belt pretensioners are not connected
to the air bag deactivation system. Even if
the front passenger’s air bag is deacti-
vated, side air bags, side curtain air bags
and seat belt pretensioners are still acti-
vated.

According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than front seating posi-
tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat.

child restraint system or infant restraint
system is installed in the front passenger’s
seat. The switch is located on the lateral
face of the passenger’s side of the instru-
ment panel.To deactivate the front passenger’s air
bag, follow the instructions below before

2) Insert the key into the air bag deactiva-
tion switch (3), then push and turn the
key to “OFF” (air bag off) position, and
pull out the key.
3) Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position
or press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”. Both indica-
tors come on for a few seconds and

you that the front passenger’s air bag is
deactivated.
