Immobilizer System

This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle's original immobilizer ignition key
or keyless push start system remote con-
troller, which has an electronic identifica-
tion code programmed in it. The key or
remote controller communicates the identi-
fication code to the vehicle when the igni-
tion 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 an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop. The vehicle must be pro-
grammed with the correct identification
code for the spare. A key made by an ordi-
nary locksmith will not work.
In the case you can start the engine, when
you turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" posi-
tion or press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to ON, the immobilizer
system will be released and the immobi-
lizer/keyless push start system warning
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.
NOTICE
If the immobilizer system is modified
or removed, it cannot be properly
operated. Do not modify or remove
the immobilizer system.
NOTE:
This immobilizer system is maintenance-
free.
