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

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
76MH1-74E
76MH1-74E
Vehicle Loading
Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities ofyour vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW,front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA- TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (includingall the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permis- sible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the front and rear axles can only be determined by weighing the vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehi- cle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
Trailer Towing
Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originallydesigned to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MAR- UTI SUZUKI does not recommend you useyour vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Towing Your Vehicle
Your vehicle may be towed behind anothervehicle (such as a motorhome), providedyour vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method speci- fied for your vehicle. The towing methodyou must use depends on the specifica- tions of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shiftvehicle.
Use the towing instruction table to select the proper towing method for your vehicle, and carefully follow the corresponding instructions. Be sure to use proper towingequipment designed for recreational tow- ing and make sure that towing speed does not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. Thegross vehicle weight (sum of theweights of the vehicle, all the occu- pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) mustnever exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that theweight on either th e front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).
WA R N I N G
Always distribute cargo evenly. Toavoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehiclemoves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far for- ward in the cargo area as possible.Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.
WA R N I N G
When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid acci-dents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe govern- ment and local requirements regard-ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.
WA R N I N G
A safety chain should always be used when you tow your vehicle.
