light (b) will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or pol-
luted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the inte-
rior.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.Air flow selector (3)

SUZUKI dealer.
System Operating InstructionsNatural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position, and the blower
speed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will flow
through the vehicle during driving.
Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you set the
blower speed selector to a position other
than “OFF”.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEATER” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Setting the blower speed selector to a
higher blower speed position increases
heating efficiency.
Quick heating (using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal heating except you select “RECIR-
CULATED AIR”. If you use this heating
method for an extended period of time, the

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.

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.

Selecting the reception band
Press the band switch button (1).
Each time the button is pressed, the recep-
tion band is switched as follows:
54G550
Seek tuning
Press the seek up button (2) or the seek
down button (3).
The unit stops searching for a station at a
frequency where a broadcast station is
available.
Manual tuning
Turn the manual tuning knob (4).
The frequency being received is displayed.
Preset memory
1) Select the desired station.
2) Select the preset button (5) to which
you want to store the station and press
and hold the button for 2 seconds or
longer.
Auto store
1) Press the band switch button (1) and
select the band (FM2 or AM2).
2) Press the auto store button (6).Six stations in total are automatically
stored to the preset buttons (5) in sequen-
tial order, starting from the lower frequen-
cies.
NOTE:
When the auto store is performed, the
station previously stored in the memory
at the position is overwritten.
When there are fewer than 6 stations
that can be stored even if 2 rounds of
auto store operation are performed, the
stations previously stored at the remain-
ing preset buttons (5) are not overwrit-
ten.
Scan tuning
1) Press the scan button (7).
Stations are automatically sought for in
a sequential order, starting from a sta-
tion being currently received, and scan
stops for 5 seconds at a frequency
where there is a station available.
2) Press the scan button (7) again to stop
scanning at the frequency being cur-
rently received.
Receiving a stereo broadcast station
If a stereo broadcast station is received,
the stereo indicator (C) will light.
Radio Reception Radio reception can be affected by envi-
ronment, atmospheric conditions, or
radio signal’s power and distance from
the station. Nearby mountains and build-
ings may interfere or deflect radio recep-
tion, causing poor reception. Poor
reception or radio static can also be
caused by electric current from over-
head wires or high voltage power lines.
When listening to a radio while using a
cell phone or walkie-talkie in or close to
your vehicle, the radio may experience
noise interference.

slot.
If a blank disc (non recorded CD-R/CD-
RW) is loaded in the unit, the disc will be
ejected.
CAUTION
Do not attach any metal objects to
the rear window glass, or place
metallic film near it. Either of these
conditions may cause poor recep-
tion or noise.
When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to

Never insert a CD with glue coming
out from adhesive tape or a rental
CD label or with a trace indicating
that adhesive tape or a rental CD
label has been removed. This may
cause the CD not to eject or result
in a malfunction.
