HEAT & DEFROST (d)
54P000538
Temperature-controlled air comes out of
the floor outlets, the windshield defroster
outlets, the side defroster outlets and the
side outlets.
DEFROST (e)
54P000539
Temperature-controlled air comes out of
the windshield defroster outlets, the side
defroster outlets and the side outlets.Air intake selector (4)
61MM0A020
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 instructions
Natural ventilation
Select VENTILATION and FRESH AIR, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature 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 HEAT and FRESH AIR, the tem-
perature selector to the desired tempera-
ture position and the blower speed selector
to the desired blower speed position. Set-
ting 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
air in the vehicle can become contami-
nated and the windows can become misty.
Therefore, use this method only for quick
heating and change to the normal heating
method as soon as possible.

Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select BI-LEVEL and FRESH AIR, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully cold position or fully hot position,
the air that comes out of the center and
side outlets will be cooler than the air that
comes out of the floor outlets.
Defrosting/Feet warmed heating
Select HEAT & DEFROST and FRESH
AIR, the temperature selector to the
desired temperature position, and the
blower speed selector to high. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
Defrosting
Select DEFROST and FRESH AIR, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position (higher temperature pro-
vides more efficient defrosting), and the
blower speed selector to high. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
54P000540
NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting, adjust
the temperature selector to hot end and
adjust the side outlets so the air blows on
the side window, in addition to the above
Defrosting procedure.

To turn on the air conditioning system, set
the blower speed selector to a position
other than off and push in “A/C” switch.
With this “A/C” switch operation, a indica-
tor light will come on when the air condi-
tioning system is on. To turn off the air
conditioning system, push “A/C” switch
again.
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 compressor results
in better fuel economy.

perature position, and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully cold position or fully hot position,
the air that comes out of the center and

Normal cooling
Set the air flow selector to VENTILATION,
the temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion, and turn on “A/C” switch. 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 conditioner 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 and the blower speed selector to the
desired blower speed position. Also select
FRESH AIR and turn on “A/C” switch.
NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies
the air, turning it on will help keep the win-
dows clear, even when blowing heated air
using DEFROST or HEAT & DEFROST
functions.
54P000540
NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• select DEFROST and FRESH AIR,
• set the blower speed selector to high,
• adjust the temperature selector to the
hot end,
• turn on “A/C” switch, and
• adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
Maintenance
If 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

You can use the air conditioning switch (6)
to manually turn the air conditioner on or off
according to your preference. When you
turn the air conditioning switch off, the cli-
mate control system cannot lower the inside
temperature below outside temperature.
To turn the climate control system off, push
“OFF” switch (7).
NOTE:
If “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 22°C
(72°F) or 25°C (75°F) setting. (the tem-
perature vary depending on vehicle
specifications.).
• If you turn the temperature selector (1)
until “HI” or “LO” appears on the display,
the climate control system will operate at
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 the automatic operation, you
can set individual selectors to the manualmode. The manually selected functions
are maintained, and the other functions
remain under automatic operation.
• If the windshield and/or the front door
windows are fogged, push the defrost
switch (5) to turn on the defroster, or
push the air flow selector (4) to change
the air flow to HEAT & DEFROST posi-
tion to defog the windows.
• To return the blower speed selector (2),
air intake selector (3), and air flow selec-
tor (4) to automatic operation, push
“AUTO” switch (8).

Be careful not to cover the interior tem-
perature sensor (10) located between the
steering wheel and the climate control
panel, or the solar sensor (11) located at
the top of the driver’s side dashboard.
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.

NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• push the defrost switch (5) to turn on the
defroster (the air conditioning system will
come on and FRESH AIR mode will be
selected automatically),
• set the blower speed selector to high,
• adjust the temperature selector to “HI”
indication on the display, and
• adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
