67LH3-74E
Keep the air cleaner clean
74LHM0404
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum
Heavier the load, more fuel the vehicle
consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo
when it is not necessary.
Keep tire pressures correct
Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the label on the driver’s
door lock pillar.
Highway DrivingWhen driving at high speeds, pay attention
to the following:
Stopping distance progressivelyincreases with vehicle speed. Apply the
brakes far enough ahead of the stopping
point to allow for the extra stopping dis-
tance.
On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact
between the road surface and the vehi-
cle’s tires due to a water film forming
between them. Steering or braking the
vehicle while hydroplaning can be very
difficult, and loss of control can occur.
Keep speed down when the road sur-
face is wet.
At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore,
reduce speed and be prepared for unex-
pected buffeting, which can occur at the
exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut
of a hill, or when being overtaken by
large vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
74LHM0405
When climbing steep hills, the vehicle
may begin to slow down and show a lack
of power. If this happens, you should
shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal
power range. Shift rapidly to prevent the
vehicle from losing momentum.
When driving down a hill, the engine should be used for braking by shifting to
next lower gear.

DRIVING TIPS

Tire ChainsTire chains should only be used if they are
needed to increase traction or are required
by law. Make sure that the chains you use
are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.
Also make sure that there is enough clear-
ance between the fenders and the chains
as installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly,
according to the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. Retighten the chains after
driving about 1.0 km if necessary. With the
chains installed, drive slowly.
NOTICE
If you hear the chains hittingagainst the vehicle body while driv-
ing, stop and tighten them.
If your vehicle is equipped with full wheel caps, remove the wheel caps
before installing the chains or the
wheel caps can be damaged by the
chain bands.

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.

NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
push the defrost switch (5) to turn on the
defroster (the air conditioning system will
come on and the “FRESH AIR” mode will
be selected automatically),
set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
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
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-

Battery InstallationInstall a lithium battery (CR2025) with the
poles facing the correct direction.
Battery replacement timing
When battery power is depleted, the but-
ton may not be operable. If the remote
controller does not operate, replace the
battery and check the operation.
Caution on battery
Be sure to follow the instructions to pre-
vent battery leakage, over-heating, igni-
tion or explosion.If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the
container first then install a new battery. If
the battery solution contacts the skin, wash
off with water completely.
Caution on Remote Controller
Do not leave the remote controller in an
area exposed to direct sunlight, such as
on the dashboard or steering wheel. The
remote controller may deform because
of the heat, (Be especially careful of the
dashboard exposed to direct sunlight in
the summer, as it will become extremely
hot).
When the vehicle is parked in an area
exposed to direct sunlight, Ensure the
remote controller is placed in an area not
exposed to direct sunlight. For example:
Glove box.
Under direct sunlight, signal reception
from the remote controller weakens. If
this happens, hold the remote controller
close to the signal receptor on the front
panel.
WA R N I N G
Do not expose the battery to flame.
Do not short circuit, disassemble,
or heat the battery.
Do not charge the battery.
Use the specified type battery.
Keep the button-shaped battery
away from children to prevent acci-
dental swallowing.
If the battery is swallowed, contact a
doctor immediately.
CAUTION
Install the battery with the poles
facing the correct direction.
When not in use for a long period
of time, or if the battery is dead,
remove the battery from the remote
controller.
