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.

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. Have this job done by a SUZUKI dealer as the lower glove box must be lowered for this job.
(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.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning system. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or replace the R-1234yfwith 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.

Changing engine oil and filter
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm.
78RB07003
1) Remove the oil filler cap. 2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug. 3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil.
A CAUTION
The engine oil temperature may be high enough to burn your fingers when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands.
Tightening torque for drain plug: 35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)
A WARNING
Engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or used oil. Keep new and used oil and used oil filters away from children and pets. Repeated, prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. (Continued)
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
A WARNING
(Continued) To minimize your exposure to used oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if it is with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and oil filters.
4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gasket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to the specified torque.
NOTE: • Whenever the engine oil is changed, the oil life monitoring must be reset to monitor the next oil change timing properly To reset the light, consult a SUZUKI dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to "Setting mode" in "BEFORE DRIVING" section. For more information of the oil change reminder light and oil life monitoring, refer to "Oil change reminder light (if equipped)" or "Information display" in "BEFORE DRIVING" section.
