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.
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.
The turn signal lights will flash once when
the doors are locked and then the turn sig-
nal lights will flash once again when the
doors are locked with the dead lock sys-
tem.
When the doors are unlocked:
• The turn signal lights will flash 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 insert the key into the ignition switch
during this time, the light will start to fade
out immediately.
Check that the doors are locked after you
operate LOCK button (1).
NOTE:
If no door is opened within about 30 sec-
onds after UNLOCK button (2) is operated,
the doors will automatically lock again.
NOTE:
• The maximum operating distance of the
keyless entry system transmitter is about
5 m (16 ft.), but this can vary depending
on the surroundings, especially near
other transmitting devices such as radio
towers or CB (Citizen's Band) radios.
• The door locks cannot be operated with
the transmitter, if the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition switch.
• When any door is open, the door locks
can only be unlocked with the transmit-
ter, and the turn signal light will not flash.
• If you lose one of the transmitters, ask
your SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible
for a replacement. Have your dealer pro-
gram the new transmitter code in your
vehicle's memory so that the old code is
erased.

tronic instrument. To avoid damaging
the transmitter:
• Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as

under direct sunlight.
• Keep the transmitter away from
magnetic objects such as a televi-
sion.
