Pinching prevention function
(if equipped)
The driver’s window is equipped with a
pinching prevention function. This function
detects a foreign object that is caught in
the window as it is being closed by AUTO-
UP feature, which allows you to close the
window without holding the window switch
in UP position, and stops the window from
closing to prevent damage.
NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa-
tion
When you disconnect and reconnect the
lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the
function will be deactivated. In this condi-
tion, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be
deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature
may remain activated. The pinching pre-
vention function needs to be initialized.
To initialize the pinching prevention func-
tion, use the following procedure:
1) Turn the ignition switch to “ON” posi-
tion.
2) Open the driver’s window fully by hold-
ing the window switch in DOWN posi-
tion.
3) Close the driver’s window by holding
the switch in UP position, and keep
holding the switch for 2 seconds after
the window is fully closed.
4) Check the driver’s window to see if the
AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not
work after initialization, there might be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function. Have your vehicle inspected
by a SUZUKI dealer.
WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, check that no part
of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric window when closing it.
This function may not detect an
object due to the size, hardness, or
position of the object being caught in
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention function
does not operate while you are
holding the window switch in UP
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window just before the window
is fully closed.
WARNING
Whenever you disconnect and recon-
nect the lead-acid battery or replace
the fuse, the pinching prevention
function needs to be initialized.
The pinching prevention function will
not be activated until the initialization
is completed.
