Instantaneous fuel consumption (a)
If you selected instantaneous fuel con-
sumption the last time you drove the vehi-
cle, the display indicates “--.-” when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ACC” or
“ON” position. Unless the vehicle is mov-
ing, the display will indicate “--.-”.
Average fuel consumption (b)
If you selected average fuel consumption
the last time you drove the vehicle, the dis-
play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Unless you reset the value of average fuel
consumption, the display will show the
value of average fuel consumption which
includes average fuel consumption during
previous driving.
To reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, hold in the “DISP” button (6) for
more than 2 seconds when the display
shows an average fuel consumption value.
The display will indicate “--.-” and then will
show a new average fuel consumption
value after driving for a short time.
Driving range (c)
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display shows “-
-.-” for a few seconds and then shows the
current driving range when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can driveuntil the fuel gauge indicates “E” based a
current driving conditions.
When the remaining fuel in fuel tank
reaches a low level, the display “--.-” will
appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the dis-
play.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the last driving condition,
the value is different each time you refuel.
NOTE:
 When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the value of driv-
ing range will be shown after driving for a
while.
 For new vehicle with low mileage, the
driving range may not be shown
promptly in the display when beginning
to drive. The driving range will be shown
after a while.
NOTE:
The values of fuel consumption and driving
range shown in the display are affected by
conditions such as the following;
 road condition
 surrounding traffic condition
 driving condition
 vehicle condition
 when the malfunction indicator light
comes on or blinksUnit indication of fuel consumption and
driving range
You can change the unit indication of fuel
consumption when selecting instanta-
neous fuel consumption or average fuel
consumption in the display.
You can also change the unit indication of
driving range when selecting driving range
in the display.
To change the unit indication in the dis-
play, follow the instructions below.
You should operate the display before the
vehicle moves.

“ON” position while holding in the
“DISP” button (6). The unit display of
the thermometer will blink.
2) Push the “M” button (5), and the unit
display of fuel consumption or driving
range will blink.

tor (2)
This is used to turn on the blower and to
select blower speed by turning the selec-
tor.
Also, this is used to select the following
modes by pushing the selector.
64J134
RECIRCULATED AIR
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light (a) will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or pol-
luted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the inte-
rior.
FRESH AIR
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light (b) will come on and outside air is
used.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE:
If the recirculation indicator light (a) blinks,
there is a problem in the heating system.
You should have the system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer.

System Operating InstructionsNatural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position, and the blower
speed 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 the
blower 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 heating
efficiency.
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 heating
method 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”, 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 posi-
tion, the air that comes out of the center
and side outlets will be cooler than the air
that comes out of the floor outlets.
Defrosting/Feet warmed heating
Select “HEAT & DEFROST” and “FRESH
AIR”, the temperature selector to the
desired temperature position, and the
blower speed selector to HIGH. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
Defrosting
Select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position (higher temperature pro-
vides more efficient defrosting), and the
blower speed selector to HIGH. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
64J074
NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting, adjust
the temperature selector to the HOT end
and adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side window, in addition to the
above Defrosting steps.

System Operating InstructionsAutomatic operation
66J044
You can let the climate control system
work automatically. To set the system in
fully-automatic operation, follow the proce-
dure below.
1) Set the desired temperature by turning
the temperature selector (1).
2) Turn the blower speed selector (2) to
the “AUTO” position.
3) Push the “AUTO” position of the air flow
selector (3).
Then the blower speed selector/air intake
selector (2) and air flow selector (3) are
controlled automatically to maintain the set
temperature.
The air conditioning switch (1) is to be
selected manually according to your taste.

Heating and Air Conditioning System: 4

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4-28 INSTRUMENT PANEL
66J21-03E
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, turn
the blower speed selector (2) to the “OFF”
position.
NOTE:
 To find your comfortable zone, start with
the 25°C (75°F) setting.
 If you turn the temperature selector (1)
to the highest or lowest limit, the climate
control system will operate at the maxi-
mum cooling or heating 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 some of the blower speed selec-
tor/air intake selector (2) and air flow
selector (3) into manual mode. Then the
manually selected function is maintained
preferentially, and the other functions
remain under automatic operation.
 To return the air intake selector (2) to
automatic operation when both the
blower speed selector (2) and the air
flow selector (3) are in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, turn either the selector (2) or (3) toa position other than “AUTO”, then turn
to the “AUTO” position again.
64J080
Be careful not to cover the interior temper-
ature sensor (F) located between the
steering wheel and the climate control
panel, or the solar sensor (G) located at
the top of the driver’s side dashboard.
These sensors are used by the automatic
system to regulate temperature.
Manual operation
You can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to your
desired position.
64J074
NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
 set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”
(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
HOT end, and
 adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
