Security System (if equipped)
The security system is armed in about 5 seconds after you lock all doors (includingthe tailgate) by using the keyless entry sys- tem transmitter. Once the system is armed, any attempt toopen a door by using any other means (*) than the keyless entry system transmitter, or open the engine hood, will cause thealarm to be triggered. * These means include the following:–The key – The lock knob on a door – The central door locking switch
Also, in case that you have set the shocksensor to enabled state and set sensitivity of the pre-warning function and full blastwarning function to a level other than 0, the alarm will be triggered if any attempt to tamper with the vehicle. The shock sensorcan be selected enabled or disabled state, and sensitivity of each warning can be adjusted as desired. To set the shock sen-sor, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer or use the setting mode of the information display.
NOTE: • The default setting of the shock sensoris in the disabled state. Set to the enabled state and adjust sensitivity of each warning according to your prefer- ence. For details on how to use the infor-mation display, refer to “Information Display” in this section.• Your dealer may have already set theshock sensor of the vehicle to theenabled state before you purchase it. Consult your dealer for further informa-tion.
NOTE:• The security system generates alarmswhen any of the predetermined condi-tions is met. However, the system doesnot have any function of blocking unau- thorized entry into the vehicle.• Always use the keyless entry systemtransmitter to unlock the doors when thesecurity system has been armed. Using a key instead will trigger the alarm.• If a person who does not know the secu-rity system is going to drive the vehicle,we recommend you explain the systemand its operation to the person, or dis- able the system beforehand. Mistakenly triggering the alarm may cause a nui-sance to others.• Even if the security system is armed,you should still be careful to guardagainst theft. Do not leave money or things of value in the vehicle.
How to arm the security system
(when enabled)Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using the keyless entry system transmitter. Thesecurity system indicator (1) will start blink- ing rapidly, and the security system will be armed in about 5 seconds.While the system is being armed, the indi- cator continues to blink at intervals of approximately 2 seconds.

NOTE: • To prevent the alarm from being acci-dentally triggered, avoid arming it while anyone remains inside the vehicle. The alarm will be triggered if any person inside opens the door or engine hood, orswings the vehicle (if the shock sensor is in the enabled state).• The security system is not armed whenall doors are locked using the key fromoutside, or using the door lock knobs or the central door locking switch frominside.• If any door is not operated within approx-imately 30 seconds after the doors havebeen unlocked using the keyless entry system transmitter, the doors are auto-matically locked again. When the doors are locked, the security system will be
armed in about 5 seconds if the system is in the enabled state.• If the security system indicator (1) blinkswhen the ignition switch is in the “ON”position, there may be something wrong with the security system. Ask your MAR-UTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the sys- tem.
How to disarm the security systemSimply unlock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter. The security sys-tem indicator will go out, indicating that the security system is disarmed.
How to stop the alarm Should the alarm be triggered accidentally, unlock the doors using the keyless entrysystem transmitter, or insert the key in the ignition switch and turn it to “ON” position. The alarm will then stop.
NOTE: • Even after the alarm has stopped, if youlock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter, the security system will be rearmed with a delay of about 5seconds.• If you disconnect the battery while thesecurity system is in the armed conditionor the alarm is actually in operation, the alarm will be re-triggered when the bat- tery is then reconnected.• Even after the alarm has stopped at theend of the predetermined operation time,it will be triggered again if any of thedoors or engine hood is opened, or the
vehicle feels a shock (if the shock sen- sor is in the enabled state), without dis- arming the security system.
Checking whether the alarm has beentriggered during parkingIf the alarm was triggered and you then turn the ignition switch to “ON” position, the security system indicator will blink rapidlyfor about 8 seconds and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this period. If this happens, check whether the vehicle has been bro-ken into while you were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the security system The security system can be either enabled or disabled.
When enabled If any of the doors are opened withoutunlocking by the keyless entry system transmitter, all turn signal lights start to blink and the interior buzzer beeps inter-mittently. After 5 seconds, the siren will sound for about 27.5 seconds. The secu- rity system indicator continues to blinkduring this time. If the engine hood is opened, all turn sig-nal lights blink, and the siren sounds forabout 27.5 seconds. The security sys- tem indicator continues to blink during this time.
(If the shock sensor is in the enabled state) If the vehicle feels a shock, the sirensounds for about 2 seconds (pre-warn- ing). If the vehicle continues to feel a

Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level 4) Windshield washer fluid level 5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the hood securely after check- ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte- nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri- cation schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler- ation and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump- tion, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has notchanged. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driv ing. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
