Using Transmission - Suzuki IGNIS 2022 Series Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
LOCK (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
If the driver's door is opened without
returning the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF)
by pressing the engine switch, a buzzer
sounds to warn you of this state.
• If you open the driver's door after press-
ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to ACC, the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.
• The buzzer will stop sounding if you then
push the engine switch twice, thus bringing
it back the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, check
that you have returned the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF) using the engine switch and
then lock the doors. Without returning the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), you cannot
use a request switch or keyless push start
system remote controller to lock the doors.
Steering lock warning buzzer
If the steering lock fails to engage due to a
fault in the system when the ignition mode
is turned to LOCK (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and any door (including the
tailgate) is opened or closed, the interior
buzzer will warn you of this condition with
repeated short beeps. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI
dealer.
