1999–2001 🔐 Manual Remote Programming Procedure

• Maximum 2 remotes can be programmed
• Follow the timing carefully — delays can cause the procedure to fail

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Confirm all doors are closed and the ignition key is OUT.
2. Open the driver’s door.
3. Insert the key and switch the ignition ON within 10 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition OFF within 10 seconds.
5. Within 20 seconds, press and release the driver’s door contact switch 3 times
   (the door switch is the plunger/button in the door frame).
6. Within 10 seconds, switch the ignition ON.
7. Then turn the ignition OFF within 10 seconds.
8. Within 20 seconds, press and HOLD both LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote for more than 5 seconds.
   🔒 The doors will lock and unlock to confirm entry into programming mode.
9. Within 5 seconds, press LOCK or UNLOCK on the remote.
   🔒 The doors will lock and unlock again to confirm the remote has been stored.
10. To program another remote, repeat the entire procedure from Step 1.

⚠️ Common Reasons Programming Fails

If the procedure does not work, check for:

• Incorrect remote frequency or part number
• Weak or flat remote battery
• Door contact switch not registering presses
• Timing not followed precisely
• Immobiliser/transponder fault (remote works but engine won’t start)

If the vehicle never confirms with door lock cycles, diagnostic programming will be required.

2016+ Suzuki Baleno ⚠️ Diagnostic Programming Required

For 2016 and newer Suzuki Baleno models, remote and key programming is performed via OBD diagnostic equipment.
