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 informa-
tion display.
• This immobilizer system is maintenance-
free.
For vehicles without a keyless push
start system
If this light blinks, tur n 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 warning
indicator light blinks and the engine cannot
be started” in “Starting engine (vehicle with
keyless push start system)” in the “OPER-
ATING 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.
The immobilizer/keyless push start system
warning light may also blinks if the remote
controller is not in the vehicle when you
close the door or attempt to start the
engine.
NOTE:
• If you lose your immobilizer ignition key or remote controller, ask your SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible to deactivate
the lost one, and to make a new key or
remote controller.
• If you own other v ehicles with immobi-
lizer keys, keep those keys away from
the ignition switch or the engine switch
when using your SUZUKI vehicle. Other-
wise, or the engine may not be started
because they may interfere with your
SUZUKI vehicle’s immobilizer system. • If you attach any metal objects to the
immobilizer key or remote controller, it
may not start the engine.
Ignition key reminderA buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to remove the ignition key if it is in the

After adjustment, move the seat and seat-
back forward and backward to check that it
is securely latched.
WA R N I N G
Never attempt to adjust the driver’s
seat or seatback while driving. The
seat or seatback could move unex-
pectedly, causing loss of control.
Check that the driver’s seat and seat-
back are properly adjusted before
you start driving.
WA R N I N G
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
check that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
WA R N I N G
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.
WA R N I N G
Do not place any object under the
front passenger’s seat. If an object
becomes caught under the front pas-
senger’s seat, the following may
occur.
• The seat will not be latched.
• The lithium-ion battery, located under the front passenger’s seat in
a model equipped with ENG A-
STOP system, will be damaged.
WA R N I N G
Do not leave cigarette lighters or
spray cans on the floor. If a cigarette
lighter or spray can is on the floor, it
may light accidentally when luggage
is loaded or the seat is adjusted,
causing a fire.

Head restraints
80J001
Head restraints are designed to help
reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case
of an accident. Adjust the head restraint to
the position which places the center of the
head restraint closest to the top of your
ears. If this is not possible for very tall pas-
sengers, adjust the head restraint as high
as possible.NOTE:
It may be necessary to recline the seat-
back to provide enough overhead clear-
ance to remove the head restraint.

Rear outside seat belt guide
75RM007
When you move a seatback, make sure
the belt webbing and the latch plate are
hooked in the seat belt hangers.
WA R N I N G
Check that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the cent er of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the seat belt in a crash.

Seat belt pretensioner system
63J269
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front or rear seating positions, check the
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
Read this section and “Supplemental
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn
more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the supplemental r estraint system (air
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-
tronic controller of t he air bag system also
control the seat belt pretensioners. The
pretensioners are triggered only when
there is a frontal or side crash severe
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat
belts are fastened. For precautions and
general information including servicing the
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-
tem” section, and follow all those precau-
tions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor and both side of the rear
seat belt retractor (if equipped). The pre-
tensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt
fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the
event of a frontal or side crash. The retrac-
tors will remain locked after the pretension-
ers are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and some smoke may be
released. These conditions are not harmful
and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by fastening seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event o
f a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis , not across the waist.
Please refer to “Seat adjustment” section
and the instructions and precautions about
the seat belts in this “Seat belts and child
restraint systems” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe
frontal or side crashes. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The
pretensioners can be activated only once.
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster
does not blink or come on briefly when the
ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change the
