CVT – Provided you have the keyless
push start system remote controller with
you, the engine automatically starts when
you press the engine switch to select this
ignition mode after placing the gearshift
lever in the “P” position and depressing the
brake pedal. (If you need to re-start the
engine while the vehicle is moving, shift

In the presence of strong radio signals or
noise, you may not be able to change the
ignition mode to ACC or ON or to start the
engine using the engine switch. In this
case, the information display in the instru-

sage: KEY FOB NOT DETECTED.
Unreleased steering lock warningIf the steering lock remains engaged when
you press the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to ON, the information dis-
play in the instrument cluster shows the
message: “TRN. STEERING WHEEL TO
RELEASE LOCK”. Refer to “Information
display” in the “BEFORE DRIVING” sec-

NOTE:
The steering lock may not be released and
the immobilizer/keyless push start system
warning light turns on if some load is acting
on the steering wheel . If this happens, turn
the steering wheel to the right or left to
relieve it from the load before you press
the engine switch again to change to the
desired ignition mode.
Keyless push start system (if equipped)Provided the keyless push start system
remote controller is within the interior work-
able area (refer to the related explanation
in this section), you can use the engine
switch for starting the engine and selecting
an ignition mode (ACC or ON). In addition,
the following functions can be used:
• Keyless entry function. Refer to “Keyless push start system r emote controller /
keyless entry system transmitter” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” se ction for details.
• Locking and unlocking doors (including the tailgate) using a request switch.
Refer to “Keyless push start system
remote controller / keyless entry system
transmitter” in the “BEFORE DRIVING”
section for details.
• Immobilizer (anti-thef t) function. Refer to
“Immobilizer syste m” in the “BEFORE
DRIVING” section for details.
NOTICE
Do not leave the engine switch in
ACC or ON mode when the engine is
not running. Avoid using the radio or
other electric accessories for a long

NOTE:
• CVT – If the gearshift lever is in anyposition other than “P”, or if the knob but-
ton is pushed when the gearshift lever is
in “P” position the ignition mode cannot
be returned to LOCK (OFF).
• When selecting the ignition modes, the information display in the instrument
cluster shows certain messages. Refer
to “Information display” in the “BEFORE
DRIVING” section for details.
If the master warning indicator light
blinks and the ignition modes cannot

Your keyless push start system remote
controller may not be sensed as being
within the interior wo rkable area (refer to
the related explanation in this section). Try
again after checking that you have the
remote controller with you. If the ignition
modes still cannot be selected, the battery
of the remote controller may be dis-
charged. To select an ignition mode, you
must then use the following method:

If the master warning indicator light
blinks and the engine cannot be started
Your keyless push start system remote
controller may not be sensed as being

3) Release the parking brake and brakepedal.
4) Depress the accelerator pedal slowly. Starting off on an uphill/downhill:
Uphill
1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that
the vehicle does no t roll backwards.
2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “D” posi-
tion while depressing the brake pedal.
Make sure that the gea r position indica-
tor in the instrumental cluster displays
1st gear.
3) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and
when the vehicle starts to move,
release the parking brake and depress
the accelerator pedal to start off.
WA R N I N G
• While driving the vehicle, do notshift the gearshift lever to the “N”
position. The engine brake may not
work and you may get involved in
an unexpected accident. If you
return the gearshift lever from “N”
to “D” because of unintended shift-
ing, the gear position will be shifted
according to the current vehicle
speed.
• Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the
engine running. This operation pre-
vents the vehicle from moving due
to unintended activation of the
creeping function.
NOTICE
If the gearshift lever cannot shift into
any position, or the gear is changed
to “N” position au tomatically when
the vehicle speed becomes less than
10 km/h (6 mph), there may be a sys-
tematic malfunction. In this case, ask
your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the
Auto Gear Shift system as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Do not operate the system as
described below. The life cycle of the
clutch may be reduced.
• Using the accelerator pedal to hold the vehicle on an uphill slope with
the gearshift lever in the “D” or “M”
position. If you perform this opera-
tion for a certain period of time, a
warning buzzer will sound.
• Shifting the gearshift lever to the “D”, “M” or “R” position while rac-
ing the engine.
• Driving at low speed using a high
gear.
• Holding the vehicle on an uphill slope using the creeping function.
If you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound.
NOTICE
On an uphill slope, never hold the
vehicle at a stop using only the accel-
erator pedal or the creeping function.
If you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound, and in some cases
the engine will stall. This can also
cause excessive damage to the
clutch.

3) Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting. Starting off on an uphill/downhill slope:
Uphill
1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that
the vehicle does no t roll backwards.
2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “M” posi-
tion while depressing the brake pedal.
Make sure that the ge ar position indica-
tor in the instrumental cluster displays
1st gear.
3) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and
when the vehicle starts to move,
release the parking brake and depress
the accelerator pedal to start off.
Downhill
1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the “M” position.
Check the gear position indicator to
make sure that the gear is in 1st.
2) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal slowly. Even
though the accelerator pedal is not
depressed, the clutch will be engaged
when the vehicle speed increases. Backing up
After the vehicle has stopped completely,
depress the brake pedal and shift the gear-
shift lever to the “R” position. Depress the
accelerator pedal slowly as when starting
off in 1st gear. Before backing up, make
sure that reverse gear is selected by
checking the gear position indicator.
NOTE:
• If reverse gear cannot be engaged even
though the gearshift lever has been
shifted from the “N” to the “R” position,
the system will re-try shifting automati-
cally. This will take some time, noise
may be heard from the gears, and shift-
ing gear shock may occur. However,
they do not indicate malfunction.
• The “N” indicator will flush, the depress brake pedal indicator will come on and a
warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound if any of the following cases
occur;
– If you shift the gearshift lever from the “N” to the “R” position without depress-
ing the brake pedal
– If the system is unable to re-try shifting
You should depress the brake pedal and
shift the gearshift lever to “N” position,
then shift to “R” position again a few sec-
onds later.
