Cruise ControlWith cruise control, you can maintain a
speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more
without keeping your foot on the accelera-
tor. This can really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds
below 25 mph (40 km/h).
Setting Cruise Control
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at a
steady speed. So, do not use your
cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise con-
trol on slippery roads.
WARNING
If you leave your cruise control on
when you are not using cruise, you
might hit a button and go into cruise
when you do not want to. You could
be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off
until you want to use cruise control.

your vehicle will come on when any door is
opened. In addition, the light will come on
when the remote keyless entry unlock but-
ton is pressed. It will stay on for 20 sec-
onds or until a door is opened. After the
door is opened the light will remain on and
stay on for 20 seconds after the doors are
closed, or until you put the key in the igni-
tion and turn the key to RUN.Map Lamps
1788863
Your vehicle may have lamps located on
the headliner above the rearview mirror.
Push on the lens in the lamp to turn them
on and off.
Cargo LampThe cargo lamp is located over the rear
compartment, and is controlled by the
dome lamp. Refer to “Dome Lamp” in this
section.Electric Power ManagementThe vehicle has Electric Power Manage-
ment (EPM) that estimates the battery’s
temperature and state of charge. It then
adjusts the voltage for best performance
and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low,
the voltage is raised slightly to quickly put
the charge back in. When the state of
charge is high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehi-
cle has a voltmeter gage or voltage display
on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you
may see the voltage move up or down.
This is normal. If there is a problem, an
alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true
for all vehicles. This is because the gener-
ator (alternator) may not be spinning fast
enough at idle to produce all the power
that is needed for very high electrical
loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several
of the following loads are on: headlamps,
high beams, fog lamps, rear window defog-
ger, climate control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailerloads, and loads plugged into accessory
power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge
of the battery. It does this by balancing the
generator’s output and the vehicle’s electri-
cal needs. It can increase engine idle
speed to generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the
power demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or
levels, without being noticeable. In rare
cases at the highest levels of corrective
action, this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message might be displayed, such
as Battery Saver Active or Service Battery
Charging System. If this message is dis-
played, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as
possible. Refer to “DIC Warnings and Mes-
sages” in this section.
Battery Run-Down ProtectionYour vehicle has a battery saver feature
designed to protect the vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp is left on and the
ignition is turned off, the battery rundown
protection system will automatically turn
the lamp off after 20 minutes. This will
avoid draining the battery. This vehicle also
has a retained accessory power feature. If
the radio is on, it will turn off after 10 min-
utes or if any door on the vehicle is
opened. Refer to “Retained Accessory

(Rear):
Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light on the
button comes on to let you know that the
rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger only works
when the ignition is in RUN. The rear win-
dow defogger stays on for approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed,
unless the ignition is turned to ACC or
LOCK. If turned on again, the defogger
only runs for about five minutes before
turning off. The defogger can also be
turned off by pressing the button again or
by turning off the engine.
Outlet AdjustmentUse the louvers located on the air outlets
to change the direction of the airflow.
Operation Tips
 Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
the air inlets at the base of the vehicle
that may block the flow of air into your
vehicle.
 Do not use any non-SUZUKI approved
hood deflectors that could adversely
affect the performance of the system.
 Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of your vehicle more effectively.Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
SystemIf your vehicle has this system, the rear
controls are three knobs located on the
rear of the center floor console. The sys-
tem can be controlled from the front con-
trols as well as the rear controls.
To turn the system on, press the AUX but-
ton on the front climate control system, an
indicator light will be lit. Pressing the AUX
button the first time will turn the rear sys-
tem on in a mimic mode. In this mode, the
airflow in the rear will be similar to the air-
flow direction, temperature, and fan speed
of the front controls. The rear system can
be turned off by pressing the AUX button
again or by turning the rear fan control
knob counterclockwise all the way.If the rear controls are adjusted after the
AUX button is pressed, the system will
enter a rear independent mode. Airflow in
the rear is then directed according to the
settings of the rear controls.

Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets
you select the temperature of the air flow-
ing into the passenger area. Turn the knob
clockwise toward the red area for warmer
air. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward
the blue area for cooler air.
CAUTION
Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do,
you could cut or damage the warm-
ing grid, and the repairs would not be
