OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

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
the “OFF” switch (7).
NOTE:
If the “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 MAR-
UTI SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
To find the temperature at which you are
most comfortable, start with the 25°C
(75°F) setting.
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 man-
ual mode. The manually selected func-
tions are maintained, and the other
functions remain under automatic opera-
tion.
To return the blower speed selector (2),
air intake selector (3), and air flow selec-
tor (4) to automatic operation, push the
“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.
Even if the engine is turned OFF, the
temperature Setting remains in the
memory.
Manual operationYou can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to the
desired positions.

adjust the temperature selector to the
“HI” indication on the display, 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

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.
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
“R-134a”. Only R-134a should be used in
your vehicle.Radio Antenna
63J055
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.Installation of Radio
Frequency TransmittersWe recommend that you always ask a
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer about frequency
band, max output power, antenna position
at vehicle and specific conditions for instal-
lation and/or use before installing a radio
transmitter in your vehicle. Such equip-
ments may cause the electronic control
system to malfunction if they are incor-
rectly installed or they are not suited for the
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.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the radio
antenna:
Remove the antenna when using an
automatic car wash.
Remove the antenna when the
antenna hits anything such as a
low ceiling in a parking garage or
putting a car cover over your vehi-
cle.
