NOTE:
The mark of “USE WITH” (6)
To clear fog on the windshield and/or the
side windows quickly, set the air flow
selector (3) to “HEAT & DEFROST” or
“DEFROST” and air intake selector (4) to
“FRESH AIR”. These positioning will clear
the fogged windshield and/or the side win-
dows faster than the “RECIRCULATED
AIR”. Air conditioning switch (5)
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.
System operating instructionsNatural 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.

Models with ENG A-STOP System
(if equipped)
• If the heating performance can no longerperform at a sufficient level due to auto-
matically stopping the engine, press the
ENG A-STOP OFF switch to deactivate
the ENG A-STOP system. (The engine
will automatically restart and the air con-
ditioning performanc e will be restored.)
• If the windshield and/or the driver’s side/ passenger side door windows are
fogged during automatic ally stopping the
engine, stop the ENG A-STOP system
and restart the engine. Then, turn the air
flow selector (3) to change the air flow to
the HEAT & DEFROST or DEFROST
position to defog the 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.
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.

NOTE:
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. The tempera-
ture of the air from the outlets may change
suddenly while “LO” or “HI” is displayed,
but this is normal.
NOTE:
When you change the unit of temperature
in the information display, the unit of tem-
perature in the air conditioning system will
be changed. Refer to “Information display
(instrument cluster with tachometer)” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details.

You can let the climate control system work
automatically. To set the system for fully-auto-
matic operation, follow the procedure below.1) Start the engine.
2) Push “AUTO” switch (8).
3) Set the desired te mperature by pushing
the temperature selector (1).
The blower speed, air intake and air flow
are controlled automatically to maintain the
set temperature. However, the air flow is
not changed to DEFROST position auto-
matically.
NOTE:

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
75RM4-01E
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. Yo u 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 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
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).
75RM148
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 regula te temperature.
Manual operationYou can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to the
desired positions.
75RM357
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.
