When The Remote Controller Is Within - Suzuki VITARA series Owner's Manual

BEFORE DRIVING
The turn signal lights will flash once and
the exterior buzzer will sound once when
the doors are locked, and then the turn sig-
nal lights will flash once and the exterior
buzzer will sound once again when the
doors are locked with the dead lock sys-
tem.
WARNING
Do not activate the dead lock system
if there are occupants in the vehicle.
They will be locked in the vehicle and
cannot unlock the doors from inside.
To unlock a door or all doors:
• Push one of the request switches once
to unlock only one door.
• Push one of the request switches twice
to unlock all doors.
NOTE:
You can switch the function that unlocks all
doors from requiring two pushes to requir-
ing one push, and vice versa, via the infor-
mation display setting mode. For details on
how to use the information display, refer to
"Information display" in this section.
When the doors are unlocked:
• The turn signal lights will flash twice and
the exterior buzzer will sound twice.
• If the interior light switch is in DOOR
position, the interior light will turn on for
about 15 seconds and then fade out. If
you press the engine switch during this
2-9
time, the light will start to fade out imme-
diately.
Check that the doors are locked after you
operate the request switch to lock the
doors.
NOTE:
• The door locks cannot be operated by
the request switch under the following
conditions:
– If any door is open or is not completely
closed.
– If the ignition mode is in any other
mode than "LOCK" (OFF).
• If no doors are opened within about 30
seconds after unlocking the doors by
pushing the request switch, the doors
will be locked again automatically.
EXAMPLE
(1)
(1)
(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
described above, you will not be able to
operate the request switch.
• If the battery of the 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
(1) 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.
