Keys

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.
80JM122
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.
