steering SUZUKI JIMNY 2019 Owner's Guide

NOTICE
Never operate your vehicle in 114H" or 114L11 on dry pavement and, as much as possible, avoid using 114H" or 114L" on wet pavement, as this puts severe stress on the drive train, especially during tight cornering, and can d~m­age it. Also, you may have some d1ff1~ culty in steering.
Off-Road Driving
Your vehicle has specific design character­istics for off-road driving. When you leave the paved road, you will encounter driving surfaces of all kinds which may change continually as you drive. In most cases, off­road driving requires the use of 4-wheel drive.
Use Caution on Steep Inclines
Always inspect hills before you attempt to drive up them. Know what is on the other side and how you will get back down. If you have any doubt that it. is safe, do not attempt to drive over a hill. Nev".r d_nve your vehicle up an extremely steep incline. Coming down a steep hill can be trickier than getting up one. Keep the vehicle heading straight down the hill and use low gear. Do not lock the brake~. If the vehicle begins to slide, accelerate slightly to regain steering control.
DRIVING TIPS
Do not Drive Across the Side of
Hills
Driving across the side of a hill can be extremely hazardous. Most of the vehicle'.s weight will be transferred to the downhill tyres, which could result in the vehicle roll­ing sideways. Whenever possible, avoid this potential hazard. Also, 1f you have to exit your vehicle on a side-hill, always get out on the uphill side.
Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times
You and your passengers should use the seat belts at all times when driving off­road. For proper seat belt use, refer to the "Seat Belts" section in this manual.
Avoid Sudden Reactions in Mud,
Ice, or Snow
Be careful when off-road conditions are slippery. Reduce your speed and avoid sudden movements of the vehicle. Be aware that driving in deep snow or mud can cause a loss of traction and an increase in the resistance to the vehicle's forward motion. Use 4WD low gear (4L) and maintain a steady but moderate speed with a light touch on the steering wheel and brakes.

Improving fuel economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you park your vehicle for more than one minute, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached oper­ating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts F~st starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop­ping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Drive at a constant speed that road and traffic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
EXAMPLE
60A183
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting m decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load is, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Unload any unneces­sary luggage or cargo.
Keep tyre pressures correct Under-infiation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased rolling resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres infiated to the cor­rect pressure shown in the label on driver's door lock pillar.
DRIVING TIPS
Highway driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: • Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stopping prnnt to allow for the extra stopping dis­tance. On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehi­cle's tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle during hydroplaning can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road sur­face is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex­pected buffeting, which can occur at the exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.

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.
