■
Starting the hybrid system when
the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by
push-starting.
■
To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●
Turn off the headlights and the audio
system while the hybrid system is off.
●
Turn off any unnecessary electrical
components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended
period, such as in heavy traffic.
■
When the 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●
Information stored in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery is
depleted, have the vehicle inspected
at a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop.
●
Some systems may require initializa-
tion. (

P.567)
■ When removing the 12-volt battery
terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in the
ECU is cleared. Before removing the 12-
volt battery terminals, contact a SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop.
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt bat-
tery will discharge gradually even when
the vehicle is not in use, due to natural
discharge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehi-
cle is left for a long time, the 12-volt bat-
tery may discharge, and the hybrid
system may be unable to start. (The 12-
volt battery recharges automatically
while the hybrid system is operating.)
■
When recharging or replacing the
12-volt battery
●
In some cases, it may not be possible
to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the 12-volt
battery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical
key to lock or unlock the doors.
●
The hybrid system may not start on
the first attempt after reinstalling the
12-volt battery. In that case, start the
hybrid system in the same manner as
when the electronic key does not
operate properly (

P.534). This is not
a malfunction, as the hybrid system
will start normally on the second
attempt.
●
The power switch mode is memorized
by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-
tery is reconnected, the system will
return to the mode it was in before the
12-volt battery was discharged.
Before disconnecting the 12-volt bat-
tery, turn the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the 12-volt
battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the 12-volt
battery.
■ When replacing the 12-volt battery
● Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to
European regulations.
● Use a 12-volt battery that the case
size is same as the previous one
(LN2), 20 hours rate capacity (20HR)
is equivalent (55Ah) or greater, and
performance rating (CCA) is equiva-
lent (345A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery
cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-
volt battery may discharge and hybrid
system may not be able to start.
● Use a ventilation type calcium battery
● Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If
a 12-volt battery without a handle is
used, removal is more difficult.
● When removing the 12-volt battery:

P.451
● After replacing, firmly attach the fol-
lowing items to the exhaust hole of the
12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was
attached to the 12-volt battery before
