Using The Transaxle; Returning The Ignition Mode To “Lock” (Off); “Lock” (Off) Mode Reminder Buzzer; Manual Transaxle - MARUTI SUZUKI S-Cross Owner's Manual

Returning the ignition mode to
"LOCK" (OFF)
NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, make
sure you have returned the ignition mode
to "LOCK" (OFF) using the engine switch
and then lock the doors. Without returning
the ignition mode to "LOCK" (OFF), you
cannot use a request switch or keyless
push start system remote controller to lock
the doors.
NOTE:
Certain problems like a fault in engine sys-
tem may prevent the engine switch from
going back to the "LOCK" (OFF) mode. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop
after doing the following:
• Lock the doors using the key to prevent
theft (The request switches and the key-
less push start system remote controller
cannot be used to lock them).
• Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery to prevent discharge.
"LOCK" (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
If the driver's door is opened without
returning the ignition mode to "LOCK"
(OFF) by pressing the engine switch, a
buzzer sounds to warn you of this state.
• If you open the driver's door after press-
ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to "ACC", the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.
• The buzzer will stop sounding if you then
push the engine switch twice, thus bring-
ing it back the ignition mode to "LOCK"
(OFF).
Steering lock warning buzzer
.If the steering lock fails to engage due to a
fault in the system when the ignition mode
is turned to "LOCK" (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and then any door (including
the tailgate) is opened or closed, the inte-
rior buzzer will warn you of this condition
with repeated short beeps. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
