2003 Suzuki Vitara Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions

Important Note: These instructions apply to vehicles equipped with a standard key and separate keyless entry remote fob. Follow the steps below carefully to place the vehicle in programming mode.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

  • Step 1: Remove the key from the ignition switch.
  • Step 2: Ensure that all doors are completely closed.
  • Step 3: Open the driver’s door and leave it open throughout the process.
  • Step 4: Insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the ON position (do not start the engine), then turn it OFF and remove the key—all within 10 seconds.
  • Step 5: Within 20 seconds, close and open the driver’s door three times in quick succession.
  • Step 6: Reinsert the key, turn it to the ON position, then turn it OFF and remove it again—within 10 seconds.

Next Step:

  • If your vehicle supports this programming method, the door locks should automatically cycle (lock and unlock) to confirm that the system has entered programming mode.

Note:

  • If the locks do not respond, the vehicle may require a different procedure or professional diagnostic programming. Consult a qualified technician if the steps above do not initiate programming mode.
