Exhaust Gas Warning

Daily Inspection ChecklistBefore Driving
60A187S
1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights
and reflectors are clean and unob-
structed.
2) Visually check the tires for the following
points:
– the depth of the tread groove
– abnormal wear, cracks and damage
– loose wheel nuts
– existence of foreign material such as
nails, stones, etc.
Refer to “Tires” in “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.
NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.
WARNING
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-
oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is
colorless and odorless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
 Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
 Do not park with the engine run-
ning for a long period of time, even
in an open area. If it is necessary to
sit for a short time in a parked vehi-
cle with the engine running, make
sure the air intake selector is set to
“FRESH AIR” and the blower is at
high speed.
 Avoid operating the vehicle with
the tailgate or trunk open. If it is
necessary to operate the vehicle
with the tailgate or trunk open,
make sure the sunroof (if equipped)
and all windows are closed, and the
blower is at high speed with the air
intake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.
 To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
 Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
 Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.

Overhead rear air conditioning system
(if equipped)
60MH028
To turn on the overhead rear air condition-
ing system, set the blower speed selector
of the air conditioning system to a position
other than “OFF” and set the rear blower
switch (2) to a position other than “OFF”.
Move the knob (1) vertically or horizontally
to adjust the direction of airflow as desired.
If you need cold air to come out, turn on
the temperature selector with air condition-
ing switch. Refer to “Temperature selector
with air conditioning switch” in this section.
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 compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired tem-
perature. Less operation of the compres-
sor results in better fuel economy.
Description of Controls
58MST0513
Temperature selector with air condition-
ing switch (1)
This is used to select the temperature by
turning the selector.
Also, this is used to turn on and off the air
conditioning system by turning the selec-
tor. To turn on the air conditioning system,
turn the selector to a position other than
“OFF”. When this selector is in the “OFF”,
the air conditioning system will not turn on.NOTE:
During operation of the air conditioner, you

system is designed so that the compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired tem-
perature.

Blower speed selector (2)
This is used to turn on the blower and to
select blower speed by turning the selec-
tor.

blower speed selector to a position other
than “OFF”.
Normal coolingSet the air flow selector to “VENTILATION”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position (other than “OFF”)
and the blower speed selector to the
desired blower speed position. 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 are 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 conditioning
system 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 (other than “OFF”) and the blower
speed selector to the desired blower speed
position. Also select
“FRESH AIR
”.
NOTE:
Because the air conditioning system dehu-
midifies the air, turning it on will help keep
the windows clear.
MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioning sys-
tem for a long period, such as during win-
ter, it may not give the best performance
when you start using it again. To help
maintain optimum performance and dura-
bility of your air conditioning system, it
needs to be run periodically. Operate the
air conditioning system 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 conditioning system is equipped
with air filters, clean or replace them as
specified in the “Maintenance Schedule” in
the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section. Have this job done by your
SUZUKI dealer as the lower glove box
must be lowered for this job.NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning sys-
tem 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 sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace the R-134a with other refrig-
erants.

Drive BeltMake sure the drive belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-
sive belt wear can result. When you press
the belt with your thumb midway between
the pulleys, there should be a deflection
according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to
ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your SUZUKI dealer.

Engine Oil and FilterSpecified Oil
74LHT0718
(1) Preferred
Be sure that the engine oil you use comes
under the quality classification of SG, SH,
SJ, SL or SM. Select the appropriate oil
viscosity according to the above chart.
SAE 5W-30 (1) is the best choice for good
fuel economy, and good starting in cold
weather.
WARNING
When the engine is running, keep
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away
from the moving fan and drive belts.

Windshield Washer Fluid
80JM078
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.
Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality
windshield washer fluid, diluted with water
as necessary.
Air Conditioning SystemIf you do not use the air conditioning sys-
tem for a long period, such as during win-
ter, it may not give the best performance
when you start using it again. To help
maintain optimum performance and dura-
bility of your air conditioning system, it
needs to be run periodically. Operate the
air conditioning system at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
WARNING
Do not use “anti-freeze” solution in
the windshield washer reservoir. This
can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and also
damage your vehicle’s paint.
NOTICE
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.
