Suzuki Alto GF (7th Gen)

2009–2013 🔐 Manual Remote Programming Procedure

Before starting:

  • All doors must be closed
  • Ignition key must be out of the ignition

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open the driver’s door.
  2. Insert the key and switch the ignition ON.
  3. Within 10 seconds, switch the ignition OFF and remove the key.
  4. Within 20 seconds, press and release the driver’s door contact switch 3 times
    (The door contact switch is the plunger/button inside the door frame.)
  5. Within 10 seconds of the last press, insert the key, switch ignition ON, then OFF, and remove the key.
  6. The doors should lock and unlock to confirm programming mode.
  7. Press LOCK or UNLOCK on the remote you want to program.
  8. The doors will lock and unlock again to confirm successful programming.
  9. Repeat Step 7 for any additional remotes.
  10. Close the door to exit programming mode.

⚠️ Common Reasons Programming Fails

If the procedure doesn’t work, check the following:

  • Incorrect remote frequency or part number
  • Weak or flat remote battery
  • Door contact switch not registering presses
  • Immobiliser/transponder issue (remote programs but car won’t start)

If the vehicle never enters programming mode, diagnostic equipment will be required.
