Air intake selector (4)
76MH0A089
This selector is used to select the following modes.
Fresh Air (f) When this mode is selected by moving the lever to right, outside air is used.
Recirculated Air (g) When this mode is selected by moving thelever to left, outside air is shut out and inside air is recirculat ed. This mode is suit- able when driving through dusty or pollutedair such as in a tunnel, or when attempting to quickly cool down the interior.
NOTE: If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an extended period of time, the air in the vehi-cle can become contam inated. Therefore, you should occasionally select “FRESH AIR”.

Air conditioning switch (5) To turn on the air conditioning system, set the blower speed selector to a positionother than “OFF” and push in the “A/C” switch. With this “A/C” switch operation, a indicator light will come on when the airconditioning system is on. To turn off the air conditioning system, push the “A/C” switch again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you may notice slight changes in enginespeed. 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.
System Operating Instructions
Natural ventilationSelect “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position, and the blowerspeed 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 theblower 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 heatingefficiency.
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 heatingmethod 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”, thetemperature 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 posi- tion, the air that comes out of the centerand side outlets will be cooler than the air that comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal cooling Set the air flow selector to “VENTILA- TION”, the temperatur e selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position, and turn on the “A/C” switch. Setting the blower speed selec- tor 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 blowerspeed.
NOTE: • To turn on the air conditioning system, push in the “A/C” switch and set the blower speed selector to a position otherthan “OFF”. With this “A/C” switch opera- tion, an indicator light will come on when the air conditioning system is on. To turnoff the air conditioning system, push the “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 compres-sor turns on or of f to maintain the desired temperature. Less operation of the compressor result s in better fuel economy.
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 sunwith 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.
DehumidifyingSet the air flow selector to a desired air flow selector position, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and theblower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Also select “FRESH AIR” and turn on the “A/C” switch.
NOTE:Because the air conditioner dehumidifiesthe air, turning it on will help keep the win- dows clear, even when blowing heated air using the “DEFROST” or “HEAT &DEFROST” functions.
76MH0A090
NOTE:If you need maximum defrosting:• set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”,
• set the blower speed selector to HIGH, • adjust the temperature selector to the HOT end, • turn on the “A/C” switch, 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 youstart 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 oiland helps protect the internal components.
NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around1993 for automotive applications. Other refrigerants are available, including recy- cled R-12, but only R-134a should be usedin your vehicle.
Radio Antenna
68KN028
The radio antenna on the roof is remov-able. To remove the antenna, turn it coun-terclockwise. To reinstall the antenna, turn it clockwise firmly by hand.
EXAMPLE
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.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the radio antenna: • Remove the antenna when using anautomatic car wash. • Remove the antenna when the antenna hits anything such as alow ceiling in a parking garage or putting a car cover over your vehi- cle.

Audio System (if equipped)Safety Information
Notes on Discs
Precautions When the inside of the vehicle is very cold and the player is used soon afterswitching on the heater, condensation may form on the disc or the optical parts of the player and proper playback maynot be possible. If condensation forms
on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If condensation forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player forabout one hour. This will allow the con- densation to disappear normally. Driving on extremely bumpy roads whichcause 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 MARUTI 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.
WA R N I N G
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 roadand 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 beaware of road and traffic conditions while driving.
