If you've lost your keys, retrace the steps you took (including your pockets for your coat and trousers). You may need to be prepared to provide evidence of ownership such as a vehicle registration or title.

If your car is recent, it may have a transponder chip or smart key/fob, which requires programming to match the immobiliser device in the vehicle. A locksmith in the automotive sector can help.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry allows you to unlock your car and start it without the need to insert the key into the lock. This system makes use of radio waves that are generated by the vehicle and a keyfob which searches for the signals. If the fob is within range of the signals, it transmits an encoded code that unlocks the doors, and also disables the vehicle's immobiliser system located in the engine control unit (ECU).

Some systems also offer remote ignition, which allows you to start your vehicle using a key fob, or an on the dashboard panel. This feature is invaluable when you need to get out and buy groceries, or if the keys are accidentally locked inside.

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is a built in anti-theft device that prevents you from beginning your car without the use of a key. It works by comparing the digital code on the key fob or key to the unique code that is embedded in the vehicle's ECU. If these codes match to each other, the ECU activates the ignition and fuel system. If the codes don't match the car won't start when the fuel pump or ignition circuit is blocked.

The Immobiliser is effective in preventing most thieves from using hot wires or starting your vehicle, but it's not foolproof. Criminals who are determined can defeat it. It is essential to take other measures, like keeping valuables safe and not leaving them inside the car when you are away.

Another security measure is to utilize a faraday pouch which blocks the signal between the key fob and the car's electronics making it difficult for criminals to steal and copy the signal. The latest suzuki alto key models also have another security measure that requires the key to be positioned close to the ignition while turning it on.

Modern immobilisers are vulnerable to attacks by criminals with advanced capabilities, despite these measures. In one study, researcher Jaap Bokslag tried to steal three vehicles that were popular and then crack the immobiliser in less than six minutes using known weaknesses in the system.

Security System

Suzuki's are among the best-selling cars on Australian roads. They also come with an inbuilt immobiliser to protect them from being hot wired. The key contains tiny transponder chips roughly the size of the size of a PS1 penny, that communicates an exclusive code to the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. If the ECU isn't able to receive this code when you insert the key into the ignition barrel, your vehicle won't start.

From 1996 onwards, suzuki key cutting dealers used two different dealer-installed systems. The first was produced by Advance Security.

The original keyfob is not available, but Remotes Unlimited still offers a 2-button Hellfire Remote (also manufactured by Advance Security).

If the chip on the new key doesn't match the one that is in your ECU it will not start.

Keys

The majority of Suzukis come with a key that has a microchip inside (transponder chip) which is smaller than a coin that you keep in your pocket. When you insert your key into the barrel of your ignition, the ECU in your car reads the key's code from this chip, and if it doesn't match it will not start.
