WARNING
■
Hands Free Power Back Door
Observe the following precautions
when operating the Hands Free
Power Back Door.
Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
●
Check the safety of the surrounding
area to make sure there are no
obstacles or anything that could
cause any of your belongings to get
caught.
●
When putting your foot near the
lower center part of the rear bumper
and moving it from the rear bumper,
be careful not to touch the exhaust
pipes until they have cooled down
sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust
pipes can cause burns.
●
Do not leave the electronic key
within the effective range (detection
area) of the luggage compartment.
NOTICE
■ Back door spindles
The back door is equipped with spin-
dles that hold the back door in place.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage
to the back door spindle, resulting in
malfunction.
● Do not touch the spindle rod with
gloves or other fabric items.
●
Do not attach any accessories
other than genuine Suzuki parts to
the back door.
●
Do not place your hand on the spin-
dle or apply lateral forces to it.
■ To prevent back door closer mal-
function
Do not apply excessive force to the
back door while the back door closer
is operating. Applying excessive force
may cause the back door closer to
malfunction.
■ To prevent damage to the power
back door
●
Make sure that there is no ice
between the back door and frame
that would prevent movement of the
back door. Operating the power
back door when excessive load is
present on the back door may
cause a malfunction.
● Do not apply excessive force to the
back door while the power back
door is operating.
●
Take care not to damage the sen-
sors (installed on the right and left
edges of the power back door) with
a knife or other sharp object. If the
sensor is disconnected, the power
back door will not close automati-
cally.
■ Hands Free Power Back Door
precautions
The kick sensor is located behind
lower center part of the rear bumper.
Observe the following to ensure that
the Hands Free Power Back Door
function operates properly:
● Keep the lower center part of the
rear bumper clean at all times.
If the lower center part of the rear
bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the kick sensor may not oper-
ate. In this situation, clean off the
dirt or snow, move the vehicle from
the current position and then check
if the kick sensor operates.
If it does not operate, have the vehi-
cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer
or a qualified workshop.
