Overhead rear air conditioning system
(if equipped)
60MH028
To turn on the overhead rear air condition-
ing system, set the blower speed selector
of the air conditioning system to a position
other than “OFF” and set the rear blower
switch (2) to a position other than “OFF”.
Move the knob (1) vertically or horizontally
to adjust the direction of airflow as desired.
If you need cold air to come out, turn on
the temperature selector with air condition-
ing switch. Refer to “Temperature selector
with air conditioning switch” in this section.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine
speed. These changes are normal, the
system is designed so that the compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired tem-
perature. Less operation of the compres-
sor results in better fuel economy.

Air intake selector (4)
68LM511
This selector is used to select the following
modes.Fresh Air (f)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will go off and outside air is used.
Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light 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.
NOTE:
If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an
extended period of time, the air in the vehi-
cle can become contaminated. Therefore,
you should occasionally select “FRESH
AIR”.
System Operating InstructionsNatural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position, and the blower
speed selector to a position other than
“OFF”. Fresh air will flow through the vehi-
cle during driving.

natural ventilation except you set the

blower speed selector to a position other

Normal coolingSet the air flow selector to “VENTILATION”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position (other than “OFF”)
and the blower speed selector to the
desired blower speed position. Setting the
blower speed selector to a higher blower
speed position increases cooling efficiency.You can switch the air intake selector to
either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATED
AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCU-
LATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you select “RECIR-
CULATED AIR” and the highest blower
speed.
NOTE:
If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for
an extended period of time, the air in the
vehicle can become contaminated.
Therefore, you should occasionally
select “FRESH AIR”.
If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly
while you operate the air conditioning
system with the air intake selector at
“FRESH AIR” and the blower at high
speed.Dehumidifying
Set the air flow selector to a desired air
flow selector position, the temperature
selector to the desired temperature posi-
tion (other than “OFF”) and the blower
speed selector to the desired blower speed
position. Also select
“FRESH AIR
”.
NOTE:
Because the air conditioning system dehu-
midifies the air, turning it on will help keep
the windows clear.
MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioning sys-
tem for a long period, such as during win-
ter, it may not give the best performance
when you start using it again. To help
maintain optimum performance and dura-
bility of your air conditioning system, it
needs to be run periodically. Operate the
air conditioning system at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
If your air conditioning system is equipped
with air filters, clean or replace them as
specified in the “Maintenance Schedule” in
the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section. Have this job done by your
SUZUKI dealer as the lower glove box
must be lowered for this job.NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning sys-
tem refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly
called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12
around 1993 for automotive applications.
Other refrigerants are available, including
recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be
used in your vehicle.
NOTICE
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.

Safety Information Notes on Discs
Precautions
When the inside of the vehicle is very
cold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, condensation
may form on the disc or the optical
parts of the player and proper playback
may not be possible. If condensation
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft
cloth. If condensation forms on the opti-
cal parts of the player, do not use the
player for about one hour. This will
allow the condensation to disappear
normally.
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.Cautions on Handling
This unit has been designed specifically for
playback of compact discs bearing mark
(A) shown above.
No other discs can be played.
WARNING
If you pay extended attention to oper-
ating the audio system or viewing the
audio system display while driving,
an accident can occur. If you set the
sound volume too loud, it could pre-
vent you from being aware of road
and traffic conditions.
Keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive. Avoid pay-
ing extended attention to operating
the audio system or viewing the
audio system display.
Familiarize yourself with the audio
system controls and operation of
the audio system before driving.
Preset your favorite radio stations
before driving so that you can
quickly tune to them using the pre-
sets.
Set the sound volume to a level that
will allow you to continue to be
aware of road and traffic conditions
while driving.

Notes on MP3/WMAWhat is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-III) and WMA
(Windows Media
TM
Audio) are the com-
pression formats of digital audio. The
former is developed by MPEG (Motion Pic-
ture Experts Group), and the latter is
developed by Microsoft Corporation.
Using these compression formats, you can
record contents of about 10 music CDs on
a single CD media. (This figure refers to
data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-
RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA files
Common
High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high
quality sounds.
Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended. Selecting VBR may
cause display of incorrect playing time
and jumpiness of playback.
Playback sound quality varies depend-
ing on the encoding environment. For
details, refer to the user manual of the
encoding software and the writing soft-
ware in use.MP3
It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
WMA
It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“64 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
Do not set the copy protect attribute on
the WMA file to enable this unit to play-
back.
Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD
media
It is recommended not to write both
CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files on a
disc.
If both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files
are on the same disc, tracks may not
be played in the correct order or some
tracks may not be played at all.
When storing both MP3 data and WMA
data on the same disc, sort and place
them in different folders. Do not write files other than MP3/WMA
files and unnecessary folders on a disc.
MP3/WMA files should be named to
meet the standards and the file system
specifications as shown below.
The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma”
should be assigned to files based on
their format independently.
You may encounter a trouble in playing
MP3/WMA files or displaying informa-
tion of MP3/WMA files depending on
the writing software or CD recorder in
use.
This unit does not have a play list func-
tion.
It is recommended to write discs in
Disc-at-Once mode even though Multi-
session mode is supported.

in the MP3/WMA format file. Failure to
observe this may result in damage to
the speaker due to noise production.
