Emergency stop
In case of emergency, you can stop the
engine by quickly pushing the engine
switch more than 3 times, or pushing and
holding the engine switch for more than 2
seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
NOTE:
Except in cases of emergency, do not stop
the engine while the vehicle is in motion.
The steering and braking operation will
require more effort when the engine is
stopped. Refer to “Braking” (P.5-152).
When returning ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF)
CVT – To ensure safety, the ignition mode
can be returned to LOCK (OFF) by press-
ing the engine switch only when the gear-
shift lever is placed in “P” position without
pressing the knob button.
• When you return the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF) and open or close any of
doors, the steering wheel will be locked.
• In the case of a CVT, to avoid wrong
operation, you cannot return the ignition
mode to LOCK (OFF) in the conditions:
– The gearshift lever is in any other posi-
tion than “P”.
– The gearshift lever is in “P”, however
the knob button of the gearshift lever is
pressed.
• In the case of a CVT, if there is a mal-
function of the gearshift lever, you may
not be able to return the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF). In this case, consult an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop after performing the following
procedure:
– Lock the doors using the key to pre-
vent theft. (The request switches and
the keyless push start system remote
controller cannot be used to lock
them.)
– Disconnect the negative cable from
the lead-acid battery to prevent dis-
charge.
NOTE:
When returning the ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF), the message may be shown on the
information display in the instrument clus-
ter. Refer to “Warning and indicator mes-
sages” (P.4-16) for details.
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 condition.
• If you open the driver’s door after press-
ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to ACC or ON (engine is
stopped), the interior buzzer beeps inter-
mittently.
– When the ignition mode is ON (engine
is stopped), push the engine switch
once to return the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF), the buzzer will stop
sounding.
– When the ignition mode is ACC, push
the engine switch twice to return the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), the
buzzer will stop sounding.
• If you do not return the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF), you cannot lock the doors
by the request switches and the keyless
push start system remote controller.
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 any door (including the
tailgate) is opened or closed, the interior
buzzer will warn you of this condition with
repeated short beeps. In this case, consult
an authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop.
