OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
57L20-03E
To turn the climate control system off, push
the “OFF” switch (10).
NOTE:
If the “AUTO” on the display 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.
NOTE:
 To find the temperature at which you are
most comfortable, start with the 72°F
(25°C) setting, for example.
 If you turn the temperature selector (1)
until “HI” or “LO” appears on the display,
the climate control system will operate at
the maximum heating or cooling 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 automatic operation, you
can set individual selectors to the man-
ual mode. The manually selected func-
tions are maintained, and the other
functions remain under automatic opera-
tion.
 To return the blower speed selector (4),
air intake selector (5), and “MODE”
switch (6) to automatic operation, push
the “AUTO” switch (9).

Be careful not to cover the interior temper-
ature sensor (12) located between the
steering wheel and the climate control
panel, or the solar sensor (13) located at
the top of the central part of the dash-
board. These sensors are used by the
automatic system to regulate temperature.
Manual operationYou can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to the
desired positions.
57L51015
NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
 push the defrost switch (7) to turn on the
defroster (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
“HI” indication on the display, 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.
Your air conditioner is equipped with air fil-
ters. Clean or replace them as specified in
the “Maintenance Schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. Have this job done by your SUZUKI
dealer as the lower glove box must be low-
ered for this job.
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.
Radio AntennaPrinted antenna (if equipped)

The radio antenna (1) wire is printed inside
the rear window.XM antenna (if equipped)
57L51053
The roof antenna (2) on the roof.
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.
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
scratch or damage the rear window
antenna. Wipe the rear window
lightly along the antenna with a
dampened soft cloth.

GLOSSARY OF TIRE TERMINOL-
OGY
Accessory Weight – the combined
weight (in excess of those standard
items which may be replaced) of CVT,
power steering, power brakes, power
windows, power seats, radio, and
heater, to the extent that these items
are available as factory-installed
equipment (whether installed or not).
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure – the pres-
sure in a tire that has been driven less
than 1 mile or has been standing for
three hours or more.
Curb Weight – the weight of a motor
vehicle with standard equipment
including the maximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and coolant, and, if so
equipped, air conditioning and addi-
tional weight optional engine.
Intended Outboard Sidewall – (1) the
sidewall that contains a whitewall,
bears white lettering or bears manu-
facturer, brand, and/or model name
molding that is higher or deeper than
the same molding on the other side-
wall of the tire, or (2) the outward fac-
ing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire
that has a particular side that must
always face outward when mounted
on a vehicle.Maximum Inflation Pressure – the max-
imum cold inflation pressure a tire is
designed to support in normal service.
Maximum Loaded Vehicle Weight –
the sum of curb weight, accessory
weight, vehicle capacity weight (total
load capacity), and production options
weight.
Normal Occupant Weight – 68 kilo-
grams times the number of occupants
specified in the second column of
Table 1 (shown below).
Occupant distribution – distribution of
occupants in a vehicle as specified in
the third column of Table 1 (shown
below).
Production Options Weight – the com-
bined weight of those installed regular
production options weighing over 2.3
kilograms in excess of those standard
items which they replace, not previ-
ously considered in curb weight or
accessory weight, including heavy
duty brakes, ride levelers, roof rack,
heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Recommended Inflation Pressure –
the cold tire inflation pressure recom-
mended by a manufacturer.
Rim – metal support for a tire or tire
and tube assembly upon which the tire
beads are seated.Vehicle Capacity Weight – the rated
cargo and luggage load plus 68 kilo-
grams (150 lbs) times the vehicle’s
designated seating capacity.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the Tire –
the load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each axle
its share of the maximum loaded vehi-
cle weight and dividing by two.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire – the
load on an individual tire that is deter-
mined by distributing to each axle its

FusesYour vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main Fuse – The main fuse takes current
directly from the battery.
Primary Fuses – These fuses are between
the main fuse and individual fuses, and are
for electrical load groups.
Individual Fuses – These fuses are for indi-
vidual electrical circuits.
For details on protected circuits, refer to
the “Fuses and Protected Circuits” section
in this manual.
To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller pro-
vided in the fuse box.

The main fuse, primary fuses and some of
the individual fuses are located in the
engine compartment. If the main fuse
blows, no electrical component will func-
tion. If a primary fuse blows, no electrical
component in the corresponding load
group will function. When replacing the
main fuse, a primary fuse or an individual
fuse, use a genuine SUZUKI replacement.
To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller pro-
vided in the fuse box. The amperage of
each fuse is shown in the back of the fuse
box cover.

WARNING
If the main fuse or a primary fuse
blows, be sure to have your vehicle

dealer. Always use a genuine SUZUKI
replacement. Never use a substitute
such as a wire even for a temporary
fix, or extensive electrical damage
and a fire can result.

7-57INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
57L20-03E
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank
by looking at the washer fluid level gauge
which is attached to the cap of the washer
fluid tank. If the fluid level is near “LOW”
mark, refill it.
Use a good quality windshield washer
fluid, diluted with water as necessary.
Air Conditioning SystemIf 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.
WARNING
Do not use “anti-freeze” solution in
the windshield washer reservoir. This
can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and also
damage your vehicle’s paint.
CAUTION
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.
