Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic Fan):
When this position is selected on the fan
control, the system automatically adjusts
the fan speed.
Temperature Setting:
The system uses the outside temperature,
passenger compartment air temperature,
and solar load sensors to maintain the
chosen temperature setting.
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1) Turn the fan and mode control to the
AUTO position.
2) Adjust the temperature to a comfortable
setting between 31°F (16°C) and 89°F
(31°C). Choosing the coldest or warm-
est temperature setting does not causethe system to heat or cool any faster. In
cold weather; the system starts at lower
fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into
the vehicle until warmer air is available.
The system begins blowing air at the
floor, but can change modes automati-
cally as the vehicle warms up to main-
tain the chosen temperature setting.
The length of time needed to warm the
interior depends on the outside temper-
ature and temperature of the vehicle.
3) Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to
stabilize in order for the system to regu-
late automatically. Then adjust the tem-
perature as necessary to find your
comfort setting. Do not cover the solar
sensor located in the center of the
instrument panel near the windshield.
For more information on the solar sen-
sor, refer to “Sensors” later in this sec-
tion.
(AUTO RECIRCULATION):
Using the previous temperature setting,
the system automatically controls the air
inlet to supply fresh outside air or recircu-
late the interior air to cool the car faster.
The indicator light on the recirculation but-
ton lights whenever the system switches to
recirculation. Switch to outside air by
pressing the outside air button, if the vehi-
cle has a rear climate control system, or by
pressing the recirculation button. See AUX
for more information. The next time AUTO
fan or mode is selected, the air inlet resets
back to AUTO operation.Manual Operation
(Fan):
Turn the left knob to increase or decrease
the fan speed. In any setting other than off,
the fan runs continuously with the ignition
on. To turn off the air completely, turn the
fan to 0 and select the recirculation button.
Temperature Control:
Turn the center knob to increase or
decrease the temperature inside your vehi-
cle.
Use the right knob to select from the fol-
lowing modes:
There is one position between each mode
to finely adjust airflow position.
(Vent):
This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
(Bi-Level):
This mode directs approximately half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, and
then directs the remaining air to the floor
outlets.
(Floor):
This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
The right knob can also be used to select
the defrost and defog modes that are
described in this section.

3-12 INSTRUMENT PANEL
78J00-03E
The modes can also be selected by press-
ing the following buttons:
AUX (Auxiliary):
This button is on a vehicle that has the
Rear Climate Control System. Press it to
turn on the rear heating and air condition-
ing. Refer to “Rear Air Conditioning and
Heating System” in this section for more
information.
(Outside Air):
Press this button to turn on the outside air
mode. While this mode is on, outside air
circulates throughout the vehicle. An indi-
cator light in the button comes on when
this button is pressed. The outside air
mode can be used with all modes, but it
cannot be used with the recirculation
mode.
(Recirculation):
Press this button to recirculate cabin air
through the vehicle. It can be used to pre-
vent outside air and odors from entering
the vehicle or to help heat or cool the air
inside the vehicle more quickly. An indica-
tor light above the symbol comes on in this
mode. Operation in this mode during peri-
ods of high humidity and cool outside tem-
peratures can result in increased window
fogging. If window fogging is experienced,
select the defrost mode.
The recirculation mode cannot be used
with outside air, floor, defog, or defrost
modes.If your vehicle has a Rear Climate Control
System, use this button to switch between
outside air and recirculation.
(Air Conditioning):
Press this button to turn the air condition-
ing system on or off. When this button is
pressed, an indicator light on the button
comes on to let you know the air condition-
ing is activated.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot
inside air escape, then close them. This
helps to reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the sys-
tem to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes mois-
ture from the air, so you might notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath
the vehicle while idling or after turning off
the engine. This is normal.
(Heated Seats):
If your vehicle has heated seats, refer to
“Heated Seats” in the “Seats and Restraint
Systems” section for more information.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog or frost on the inside of windows is a
result of high humidity (moisture) condens-
ing on the cool window glass. This can be
minimized if the climate control system is
used properly. To avoid fogging windows
on rainy and humid days at temperatures
above freezing, run the air conditioning
compressor. It is best to avoid the use of
the recirculation mode, except when maxi-mum A/C performance is needed or for
short times to avoid exterior odors.
Use the floor/defog mode to clear the win-
dows of fog or moisture and warm the pas-
sengers. Use the defrost mode to remove
fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly.
When either of these modes or the floor
mode is selected, the system runs the air
conditioning compressor and cancels recir-
culation mode to dry the air; however, the
recirculation light stays on. For best
results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
(Floor/Defog):
This mode directs about half of the air to
the floor outlets and the remaining air to
the windshield and the side window out-
lets.
(Defrost):
This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the side window outlets.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming
grid to remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works
when the ignition is in RUN.

3-13 INSTRUMENT PANEL
78J00-03E
(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.

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
covered by your warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to
the defogger grid.
