Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select BI-LEVEL and FRESH AIR, the
temperature 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 position,
the air that comes out of the center and
side outlets will be cooler than the air that
comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal cooling
Set the air flow selector to VENTILATION,
the temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion, and turn on “A/C” switch. Setting the
blower speed selector 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 a re the same as for
normal cooling except you select RECIR-
CULATED AIR and the highest blower
speed. 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 sun with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly
while you operate the air conditioner with
the air intake selector at FRESH AIR and
the blower at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Set the air flow selector to a desired air
flow selector position, the temperature
selector to the desired temperature posi-
tion and the blower speed selector to the
desired blower speed position. Also select
FRESH AIR and turn on “A/C” switch.
NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies
the air, turning it on will help keep the win-
dows clear, even when blowing heated air
using DEFROST or HEAT & DEFROST
functions.

NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• select DEFROST and FRESH AIR,
• set the blower speed selector to high,
• adjust the temperature selector to the hot end,
• turn on “A/C” switch, and
• adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.

• 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-

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).

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.

NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• push the defrost switch (5) to turn on the
defroster (the air conditioning system will

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.

Notes on MP3/WMA/AACWhat is MP3?
• An abbreviation of “MPEG audio layer3”,
MP3 is an audio compression format
that has become the standard format
among PC users. Its merit is that the
original audio data is compressed to
approximately 1/10 and high sound qual-
ity is maintained. This means that it is
possible to store the data of approxi-
mately 10 music CDs on a single CD-R/
RW disc, which in turn makes it possible
to play music for a long time without hav-
ing to change the disc.
What is WMA?
• An abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” WMA is an audio compression
format developed by Microsoft.
• WMA files for which the DRM (Digital Rights Management) function is on can-
not be played.
• Windows Media
TM
and the Windows
®
logo are trademarks or registered trade-
marks of Microsoft Corporation in the
United States and other countries.
What is AAC?
• An abbreviation of “Advanced Audio Coding,” AAC is an audio compression
format used by MPEG2 and MPEG4. Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA/AAC files
Common
• High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high qual-
ity sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended. Selecting VBR may
cause display of inc orrect playing time
and jumpiness of playback.
• Playback sound quality varies depend- ing on the encoding environment. For
details, refer to the user manual of the
encoding software and the writing soft-
ware in use.

Never use “.mp3”, “.wma” or “.m4a”
