The system relies on radio signals that are emitted from the vehicle, and a key fob that scans for the signals. If the key fob is within range of the radio signals, it sends an encrypted code back to unlock the door and disables the your vehicle's standard immobiliser which is located in the engine control module (ECU).

Immobiliser

The Immobiliser (or Engine Immobiliser) is an integrated anti-theft system that blocks your car from starting without a key. It works by comparing the digital code on the key fob or the key with the unique code in the vehicle's ECU. When the codes are in sync the ECU will begin to activate the fuel system and the ignition. If the codes do not match the fuel pump or ignition circuit will be blocked and your car won't begin.

While the Immobiliser does prevent most thieves from hot-wiring or starting your car, it's not foolproof, and it can be defeated by determined criminals. It is crucial to take additional precautions, such as keeping valuables safe and not leaving them inside the car when you are away.

A faraday pouch is an additional security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it difficult for thieves and criminals to copy and steal the signal. The newest Suzuki models also feature an additional security feature that requires the key to be placed near the ignition while turning it on.

Modern immobilisers are susceptible to attack by criminals who have advanced skills, despite these measures. In one study, Jaap Bokslag, a researcher at the University Amsterdam, tried to steal three vehicles that were popular and smashed the immobiliser in less than six minutes using known weaknesses.

Keys

Most Suzukis are equipped with a key that has a microchip inside (transponder chip) which is less than a coin you carry in your pocket. When you insert your key into the barrel of your ignition and turn it on, the ECU in your vehicle reads the code from this chip and if it doesn't match it will not start.
