Hello guys! I lost the key to my Suzuki Swift 2014 and it seems I have to program a new one. How can I do that and what do I need? I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance!
Hey, to get that 8-digit PIN or 4-digit code, you'll need to visit your local Suzuki dealer. They can help you program the key and get the security info you need. It's best to go through them to make sure everything's done right.
Alright, let's try to program this new key for your car. Here's the deal:
Your car can only remember three remotes. If you add a fourth, it'll forget the oldest one. This only works for locking and unlocking the doors, not starting the engine. But hey, unlocking the car will turn off the engine immobilizer.
That tiny grey chip in your key is what actually stops the engine from starting. It's a whole separate thing from the remote.
Here's how to program the new remote:
Close all the doors. Get in the car with your key and the new remote, leaving the driver's door open.
Turn the key to 'On' and back to 'Off' – just like you're starting it, but don't actually start the engine.
Close and open the driver's door three times. Then, take the key out and put it back in.
Wait for the locks to click on and off by themselves.
Now, hold down the 'Unlock' button on the new remote. Keep holding it until the locks click on and off again.
That's it! You should be able to use the new remote to lock and unlock your car.
If this doesn't work... Well, let's just say things might get a little more complicated. You might need to check your car's manual for more specific instructions.
