Pinching prevention function
The driver’s window is equipped with a
pinching prevention function. This function
detects a foreign object that is caught in
the window as it is being closed by AUTO-
UP feature, which allows you to close the
window without holding the window switch
in UP position, and stops the window from
closing to prevent damage.
NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa-
tion
When you disconnect and reconnect the
battery or replace the fuse, the function will
be deactivated. In this condition, the
AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated,
while the AUTO-UP feature may remain
activated. The pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.To initialize the pinching prevention func-
tion, use the following procedure:
1) Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position
or press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
2) Open the driver’s window fully by hold-
ing the window switch in DOWN posi-
tion.
3) Close the driver’s window by holding
the switch in UP position, and keep
holding the switch for 2 seconds after
the window is fully closed.
4) Check the driver’s window to see if the
AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not
work after initialization, there might be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function. Have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, check that no part
of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric window when closing it.
This function may not detect an
object due to the size, hardness, or
position of the object being caught in
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention function
does not operate while you are
holding the window switch in UP
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window just before the window
is fully closed.
WA R N I N G
Whenever you disconnect and recon-
nect the battery or replace the fuse,
the pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.
The pinching prevention function will
not be activated until the initialization
