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

(1) 80 cm (2 1/2 feet)
When the remote controller is within
approximately 80 cm (2 1/2 feet) from a
front door handle or the tailgate switch, you
can lock or unlock the doors by pushing
the request switch.
NOTE:
• If the remote controller is outside the request switch operating range
described above, you will not be able to
operate the request switch.
• If the battery of th e remote controller
runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the request switch oper-
ating range may be reduced or the
remote controller may be inoperative.
• If the remote controller is too close to the door glass, the request switches may not
operate. • If a spare remote controller is in the vehi-
cle, the request switches may not oper-
ate normally.
• The remote controller will only operate a request switch if it is within the switch’s
operating range. For example, if the
remote controller is within the operating
range of the driver’s door request switch
but not the front passenger’s door
request switch or the tailgate request
switch, the driver’s door switch can be
operated but the front passenger’s door
switch or tailgate switch cannot be oper-
ated.
NOTE:
The keyless push start system may not
function correctly in certain environments
or under certain operating conditions such
as the following:
• When there are strong signals coming from a television, power station or a cel-
lular phone. • When the remote controller is in contact
with or covered by a metal object.
• When a radio wave type remote keyless
entry is used nearby.
• When the remote controller is placed near an electronic device such as per-
sonal computer.
Some additional precautions you should
take and information you should be aware
of are:
• Check that the key is stowed in the remote controller. If the remote controller
becomes unreliable, you will not be able
to lock or unlock the doors.
• Check that the driver always carries the
remote controller.
• If you lose one of the remote controllers,
ask your SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible for a replacement. Have your
dealer program the new remote control-
ler code in your vehicle’s memory so that
the old code is erased.
• You can use up to four remote control-
lers and the keys for your vehicle. Ask
your SUZUKI dealer for details.
• The battery life of the remote controller
is about two years, but it can vary
depending on usage conditions.

Therefore, an air bag is not a substitute for
seat belts. To maximize your protection,
always fasten your seat belts. Be aware
that no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may occur in an accident.
Driver’s front air bag
81P30640
Front passenger’ s front air bag

The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is
located behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard.
The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into
the air bag covers to identify the location of
the air bags.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If the air bag stored place is damaged
or cracked, the air bag system may
not work properly, which could result
in serious injury in the event of a
crash. Have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Vehicle without the front passenger
air bag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.

Side air bags and side curtain air bags
do not inflate
80J120
• Impact from the rear
80J110
• Vehicle rollover
How the system worksIn a frontal crash, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. If your
vehicle is equipped with side air bags and
side curtain air bags, crash sensors will
detect a side crash, and if the controller
judges that the side crash is severe
enough, it will trigger the side air bag and
side curtain air bag inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate air bags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated air bags
provide a cushion for your head (front air
bags and side curtain air bags only) and
upper body. The air bag inflates and
deflates so quickly that you may not even
realize that it has activated. The air bag will
neither hinder your view nor make it harder
to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag.
Wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent skin irritation. Also, upon infla-
tion, a loud noise will occur and some pow-
der and smoke will be released. These
conditions are not harmful and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, how-ever, that some air bag components may
be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” sec-
tion and “Seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems” section in this
section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

Even though your vehicle is moderately
damaged by a crash, it may not be severe
enough to trigger front, side or side curtain
air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains
any front-end or side damage, have the air
bag system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer to ensure that it works
properly.
WA R N I N G
• The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air
bags and side curtain air bag,
occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door. In these sit-
uations, the out-of-position occu-
pant would be too close to an
inflating air bag, and may suffer
severe injury.
• Do not attach any objects to, or place any objects ov er, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Also, these objects may
move when you start moving vehi-
cle or while vehicle is moving, they
may interfere with driver’s view or
safe driving. In each conditions
may cause severe injury. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For vehicles with side air bags, do
not use non-genuine seat covers on
the front seats, because non-genu-
ine seat covers may obstruct the
inflation of side air bags. SUZUKI
highly recommends SUZUKI-genu-
ine seat covers to be used when
covering the front seats of such
vehicles with side air bags. Also,
near the door, do not place cup
holders, hangers or any other
objects and do not lean an umbrella,
as these objects could be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
• Do not strike or apply significant levels of impact to the air bag com-
ponent areas. It can cause the air
bags to malfunction.
