2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions

For Models with Standard Key and Remote Fob (Non-Smart Key System)

Important Note: These steps apply to vehicles equipped with a traditional key ignition and a separate keyless entry remote fob. Follow the procedure below to program one or more remotes.

Step-by-Step Programming Procedure:

  • Step 1: Remove the key from the ignition switch.
  • Step 2: Make sure all vehicle 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 the next 20 seconds, quickly close and open the driver’s door three times.
  • Step 6: Insert the key again, turn it to the ON position, then turn it OFF and remove it — again within 10 seconds.
  • Step 7: The door locks should automatically lock and unlock, confirming that the vehicle has entered programming mode.
  • Step 8: Press the UNLOCK button on the remote fob. The locks should cycle again to confirm successful programming.
  • Step 9: Repeat Step 8 for each additional remote you wish to program.
  • Step 10: Exit the vehicle, close all doors, and test each remote to ensure all keyless entry functions work properly.
