Door Locks: 3, 5, 8 BEFORE DRIVING Programming/erasing the remote controller code yourself Your new vehicle was originally equipped with two remote controllers. If you have lost one of the remote controllers, you should change the remote controller code in your vehicle's memory as soon as possible for security. If you purchase additional remote controllers, the new remote controllers need to be programmed into your vehicle's memory. You can perform this yourself by using the following procedure: NOTE: • You can program up to four remote controller codes into your vehicle's memory. The four codes may be the same or different. • If you try to program a fifth code, the four remote controller codes that are programmed will be cleared automatically. • If you program a new remote controller code, all of the old remote controller codes that are in your vehicle's memory will be erased automatically. When you program a new remote controller, you should reprogram any additional remote controllers at the same time. • To purchase new remote controllers, see your SUZUKI dealer. • Before you begin programming, have all of your remote controllers available.
