• The stereo camera has characteristics
similar to the human eyes, so if the front
visibility is poor caused by fog or heavy
rain, etc., the stereo camera will also be
difficult to detect a vehicle, obstacle or
partition line in front of you.
• The detection of a vehicle, obstacle or
partition line in front of you is limited
within the range of vision of the stereo
camera. Also, it takes a few seconds
until the stereo camera judges an object
as the target of the system operating and
warning.

(Continued)
• Do not apply any accessories(other than SUZUKI genuine acces-
sories), films or stickers to the area
listed below. These may affect with
visibility of the stereo camera. If the
area of the stereo camera is
obstructed, the stereo camera can-
not detect any obstacles properly
and the dual camera brake support
may not function properly. Also, if
applying them to an area other than
the prohibited area, it may affect
with the function o f the stereo cam-
era by reflection of light or an
image. In this case, move them to
another place.
– On windshield
– On dashboard
– On engine hood
CAUTION
In the following situations, the stereo
camera cannot detect an obstacle in
front of you and may not function
properly.
• A remaining of wiping is on the
windshield
• When a windshield glass other than SUZUKI genuine parts is used
• When a glass coating agent other than the agent recommended by
SUZUKI is used

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.
If your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters, clean or replace them as specified
in “Maintenance schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion.
(For vehicles using “HFO-1234yf” refrig-
erant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called
R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for
automotive applications. Other refriger-
ants are available, but only R-1234yf
should be used in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or
replace the R-1234yf with other refrig-
erants.
(Except for vehicles using “HFO-1234yf”
refrigerant)
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.
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.

perature vary depending on vehicle
specifications.).
• If you push 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 automat ic operation, you
can set individual selectors to the manual mode. 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
