2022 SUZUKI JIMNY air condition

Maintenance
If 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 opti­mum 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 "INSPEC­TION AND MAINTENANCE" section.
(For models with air conditioner refrig­erant R-1234yf) NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for automotive applications. Other refrigerants are available, but only R-1234yf should be used in your vehicle. (For the country of Singapore) • For repair and parts replacement, have your vehicle repaired or replaced parts by an authorized SUZUKI dealer that has the mechanic qualified with SAE J2845 for air conditioner of R-1234yf.
OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning sys­tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or replace the R-1234yf with other refrig­erants.
(For models with air conditioner refrig­erant R-134a) 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 recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning sys­tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the R-134a with other refrig­erants.

System operating instructions
Automatic operation
78RB05048
You can let the climate control system work automatically. To set the system for fully-auto­matic operation, follow the procedure below.
1) Start the engine. 2) Push "AUTO" switch (8). 3) Set the desired temperature by turning 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: When the recirculated air mode is selected, the automatic operation system is deacti­vated even if you push ''AUTO" switch (8).
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 cli­mate control system cannot lower the inside temperature below outside temperature.
To turn the climate control system off, push "OFF" switch (7).
NOTE: If ''AUTO" in the display blinks, there is a problem in the heating system and/or air conditioning system. You should have the system inspected by a 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 tem­perature vary depending on vehicle specifications.). 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 cooled 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 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 posi­tion to defog the windows. To return the blower speed selector (2), air intake selector (3), and air flow selec­tor (4) to automatic operation, push ''AUTO" switch (8).
78RB05049
Be careful not to cover the interior tem­perature sensor (10) located between the steering wheel and the climate control panel, or the solar sensor (11) located at the top of the passenger's side dashboard. These sensors are used by the automatic system to regulate temperature.

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Manual operation You can manually control the climate con­trol 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 operate 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.
