Suzuki SX4 Owner's Manual page 9

• If the battery of the remote controller
runs down or there are strong radio
waves or noise, the request switch oper-
ating range may be reduced or the
remote controller may be inoperative.
• If the remote controller is too close
to
the
door glass, the request switches may not
operate.
• If
a
spare remote controller is in the vehi-
cle, the request switches may not oper-
ate normally.
• The remote controller will only operate
a
request switch if it is within the switch's
operating range. For example, if the
remote controller is within the operating
range of the driver's door request switch
but not the front passenger's door
request switch or the rear door request
switch, the driver'S door switch can be
operated but the front passenger's door
switch or rear door switch can not be
operated.
CAUTION
The remote controller is a sensitive
electronic instrument. To avoid dam-
aging the remote controller:
• Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as by
leaving it on the dashboard under
direct sunlight.
• Keep the remote controller away
from magnetic objects such as a
television.
NOTE:
The keyless start system may not function
correctly in certain environments or under
certain operating conditions such as the
following:
• When there are strong signals coming
from
a
television, power station or
a
cel-
lular phone.
• When the remote controller is in contact
with
or
covered by
a
metal object.
• When
a
radio wave type remote keyless
entry is used nearby.
• When the remote controller is placed
near an electronic device such as per-
sonal computer.
Some additional precautions you should
take and information you should be aware
of are:
• Make sure the ignition key is stowed in
the remote controller.
If
the remote con-
troller becomes unreliable, you will not
be able to lock or unlock the doors or
start the engine.
• Be sure that the driver always carries the
remote controller.
• If you lose one of the remote controllers,
ask your SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible for
a
replacement. Be sure to have
your dealer program the new remote
controller code in your vehicle's memory
so that the old code is erased.
• You can use up to four remote controllers
and ignition keys for your vehicle. Ask
your SUZUKI dealer for details.
BEFORE DRIVING
• The battery life o( the remote controller
is about two years, but it can vary
