According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than front seating posi­tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom­mends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat.
Airbag deactivation switch

Both indicators come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) comes on to remind you that the front passenger's airbag system is deactivated.

Keys

Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical keys. Keep one of the keys as a 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 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 reference.
I KEY NUMBER:

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, which has an electronic identification code programmed in it. The key communicates the identification code to the vehicle when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" posi­tion. If you need to make spare keys, see a SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be pro­grammed with the correct identification code for the spare. A key made by an ordi­nary locksmith will not work.
80JM122
If the immobilizer warning light blinks when the ignition switch is in "ON" position, the engine will not start.
NOTICE
Do not modify or remove the immobi­lizer system. If modified or removed, the system cannot be properly oper­ated.
NOTE: If the immobilizer system warning light blinks or comes on, a message may be shown on the information display. This immobilizer system is maintenance­free.
It this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" position, and then turn it back to "ON" position. It 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 a SUZUKI dealer to have the system inspected.

NOTE: If you lose your immobilizer ignition key, ask a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi­ble to deactivate the lost one, and to make a new key. If you own other vehicles with immobi­lizer keys, keep those keys away from the ignition switch when using your SUZUKI vehicle. Otherwise, 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, it may not start the engine.
NOTICE
The immobilizer key is sensitive elec­tronic instruments. To avoid damag­ing them: Do not expose them to impacts, moisture or high temperature such as on the dashboard under direct sunlight. Keep them away from magnetic objects.

The turn signal lights will flash once when the doors are locked.
When the doors are unlocked: The turn signal lights will flash twice. If the interior light switch is in DOOR position, the interior light will turn on for about 15 seconds and then fade out. If you insert the key into the ignition switch during this time, the light will start to fade out immediately.
Check that the doors are locked after you operate LOCK button (1 ).
NOTE: If no door is opened within about 30 sec­onds after UNLOCK button (2) is operated, the doors will automatically lock again.
BEFORE DRIVING
NOTE: The maximum operating distance of the keyless entry system transmitter is about 5 m (16 ft.), but this can vary depending on the surroundings, especially near other transmitting devices such as radio towers or CB (Citizen's Band) radios. The door locks cannot be operated with the transmitter, if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch. When any door is open, the door locks can only be unlocked with the transmit­ter, and the turn signal light will flash. If you lose one of the transmitters, ask a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible for a replacement. Have a SUZUKI dealer program the new transmitter code in your vehicle's memory so that the old code is erased.
NOTICE
The transmitter is a sensitive elec­tronic instrument. To avoid damaging the transmitter: Do not expose it to impacts, mois­ture or high temperature such as by leaving it on the dashboard under direct sunlight. Keep the transmitter away from magnetic objects such as a televi­sion.

BEFORE DRIVING
NOTE: The theft deterrent alarm system gener­ates alarms when any of the predeter­mined conditions is met. However, the system does not have any function of blocking unauthorized entry into your vehicle. Always use the keyless entry system transmitter to unlock the doors when the theft deterrent alarm system has been armed. Using a key instead will trigger the alarm. If a person who does not know the theft deterrent alarm system is going to drive your vehicle, we recommend you explain the system and its operation to the per­son, or disable the system beforehand. Mistakenly triggering the alarm may cause a nuisance to others. Even if the theft deterrent alarm system is armed, you should still be careful to guard against theft. Do not leave money or things of value in your vehicle. The theft deterrent alarm system js maintenance-free.
