Immobilizer System (Diesel Engine)
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
which has an electronic identification code
programmed into it. The key communi-
cates the identification code to the vehicle
when the key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. If you need to makespare keys, see
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle
must be programmed with the correct iden-
tification code for the spare keys. A key
made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
If the immobilizer system light service vehi-
cle soon (SVS) light (1) for diesel engine
blinks when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position, there my be something
wrong with your key or with the immobilizer
system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer
to inspect the system.
NOTE:
• If you lose your immobilizer ignition key,
see your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as
soon as possible to have the lost one
deactivated, then have the new key
made by them.
• If you own other vehicles with immobi-
lizer keys, keep those key away from the
ignition switch when using your
MARUTI SUZUKI, or the engine may not
be started because they may interfere
with you MARUTI SUZUKI immobilizer
system.
• In case of attaching any metal objects to
the immobilizer key, it may not start the
engine.
Ignition Key Reminder (if equipped)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to remove the ignition key if it is in the
ignition switch when the driver’s door is
opened.

electronic instrument. To avoid dam-
aging the immobilizer key:
• Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as
on the dashboard under direct sun-
light.
