Keys
54G489
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 or the strong hybrid
system.
The engine or the strong hybrid system
can be started only with your vehicle’s orig-
inal immobilizer ignition key or keyless
push start system remote controller, which
has an electronic identification code pro-
grammed in it. The key or remote controller
communicates the identification code to
the vehicle when the ignition 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 a SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified work shop. The vehi-
cle must be programmed with the correct
identification code for the spare keys or
remote controllers.
In the case you can start the engine or the
strong hybrid system, when you turn the
ignition switch to “ON” position or press the
engine switch to change the ignition mode
to “ON” the immobilizer system will be
released and the immobilizer system warn-
ing light will turn on for about 2 seconds
and then it will turn off.
When you turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” position or press the engine switch
to change the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF), the immobilizer system will operate.
