NOTE:
If the indicator light (i) blinks, there is a
problem in the heating system and/or air
conditioning system. You should have the
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.System Operating InstructionsAutomatic Operation
52D308
You can let the climate control system work
automatically. To set the system in fully-
automatic operation, follow the procedure
below.
1) Set the desired temperature by turning
the temperature selector (1).
2) Turn the blower speed selector (2) to
the “AUTO” position.
3) Turn the air flow selector (3) to the
“AUTO” position.Then the blower speed selector/air intake
selector (2) and air flow selector (3) are
controlled automatically to maintain the set
temperature.
The air conditioning switch (1) is to be
selected manually according to your taste.
When you turn the air conditioning switch
off, the climate control system cannot
lower the inside temperature below outside
temperature.
To turn the climate control system off, turn
the blower speed selector (2) to the “OFF”
position
NOTE:
To find your comfortable zone, start with
the 25°C (75°F) setting.
If you turn the temperature selector (1) to
the highest or lowest limit, the climate
control system will operate at the maxi-
mum cooling or heating and the blower
will run at full speed.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather
or hot air in hot weather, the system will
delay turning on the blower until warmed
or chilled air is available.
If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly.
Even under the automatic operation, you
can set some of the blower speed selec-
tor/air intake selector (2) and air flow
selector (3) into manual mode. Then the
manually selected function is maintainedpreferentially, and the other functions
remain under automatic operation.
To return the air intake selector (2) to
automatic operation when both the
blower speed selector (2) and the air
flow selector (3) are in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, turn either the selector (2) or (3) to
a position other than “AUTO” then turn to
the “AUTO” position again.
54G507
Be careful not to cover the interior temper-
ature sensor (F) located under the climate
control panel, or the solar sensor (G)
located at the top of the driver’s side dash-
board. These sensors are used by the
automatic system to regulate temperature.
Manual Operation
You can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to your
desired position.

NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”
(the air conditioning system will come on
and the “FRESH AIR” mode will be
selected automatically),
set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end, and
adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
“R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around
1993 for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, including recy-
cled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.
Audio SystemsThere are two types of audio system as
shown below:
Type 1
54G592
AM/FM CD PLAYER
CAUTION
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace the R-134a with other refrig-
erants.

Precautions When the inside of the car is very cold
and the player is used soon after switch-
ing on the heater, moisture may form on
the disc or the optical parts of the player
and proper playback may not be possi-
ble. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it
off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on
the optical parts of the player, do not use
the player for about one hour, this will
allow the condensation to disappear nor-
mally.
Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibrations may cause
sound to skip.
This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
Please bring the unit to an authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a MITSUBISHI ser-
vice Department.
Cautions on Handling
52D274
This unit has been designed specifically for
playback of compact discs bearing the
mark (A).
No other discs can be played.
52D275

54G27-03E
Never touch the surface.
52D347
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a
soft cloth, and wipe in a straight line from
the center of the compact disc to the cir-
cumference.
52D277
New discs may have some roughness
around the edges. The unit may not work
or the sound may skip if such discs are
used. Use a ball-point pen (B), etc. to
remove the roughness (C) from edges of
the disc before insertion inside the unit.
52D348
Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a
pencil or pen.
52D349
Do not use any solvents such as commer-
cially available cleaners, anti-static spray,
or thinner to clean compact discs.
52D350
Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshaped, or cracked, etc.
Use of such discs will cause damage orprevent the system from operating prop-
erly.
52D351
Do not expose compact discs to direct
sunlight or any heat source.
NOTE:
Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc.
These may get caught in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc.
CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be able to
playback in this unit due to the recording
conditions.
