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 pushing the switch.
To turn on the air conditioning system,
push in the switch and the A/C indicator
light (4) will come on. To turn off the air
conditioning system, push in the switch
again and the A/C indicator light (4) will go

a problem in the heating system and/or air
conditioning system. You should have the
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.Blower speed selector/Air intake selec-
tor (2)
79J096
This is used to turn on the blower and to
select blower speed.
If the selector is in “AUTO” position, the
blower speed will vary as the climate con-
trol system maintains the selected temper-
ature.
Also, this is used to select the following
modes by pushing the selector.
65D493
FRESH AIR
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light (a) will come on and outside air is
used.
RECIRCULATED AIR
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light (b) will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through the polluted
air such as a tunnel, or attempting to
quickly cool down.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.

System Operating InstructionsAutomatic operation
80J097
You can let the climate control system work
automatically. To set the system in fully-
automatic operation, follow the procedure
below.
1) Set the desired temperature by turning
the temperature selector (1).
2) Turn the blower speed selector (2) to
the “AUTO” position.
3) Turn the air flow selector (3) to the
“AUTO” position.
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.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 75°F (25°C) 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 nearly 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.
79J071
Be careful not to cover the interior temper-
ature sensor (F) 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 regu-
late temperature.
Manual operation
You can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to your
desired position.

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.
MaintenanceIf 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 opti-
mum 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.
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 recy-
cled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.
Audio SystemsThere are two types of audio system as

CAUTION
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.

Precautions When the inside of the car is very cold
and the player is used soon after switch-
ing on the heater, moisture may form on
the disc or the optical parts of the player
and proper playback may not be possi-
ble. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it
off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on
the optical parts of the player, do not use
the player for about one hour, this will
allow the condensation to disappear nor-
mally.
 Driving on extremely bumpy roads which
cause severe vibrations may cause
sound to skip.
 This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
Please bring the unit to an authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a Clarion service
Department.

Never touch the surface.
52D347
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a
soft cloth, and wipe in a straight line from
the center of the compact disc to the cir-
cumference.
52D277
New discs may have some roughness
around the edges. The unit may not work
or the sound may skip if such discs are
used. Use a ball-point pen (B), etc. to
remove the roughness (C) from edges of
the disc before insertion inside the unit.
52D348
Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a
pencil or pen.
52D349
Do not use any solvents such as commer-
cially available cleaners, anti-static spray,
or thinner to clean compact discs.
52D350
Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshaped, or cracked, etc.
Use of such discs will cause damage orprevent the system from operating prop-
erly.
52D351
Do not expose compact discs to direct sun-
light or any heat source.
NOTE:
 Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc.
These may get caught in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc.
 CD-R discs may not be able to playback
in this unit due to the recording condi-
tions.
 CD-RW discs can not playback in this
unit.

Radio ReceptionRadio reception can be affected by envi-
ronment, atmospheric conditions, or radio
signal’s power and distance from the sta-
tion. Nearby mountains and buildings may
interfere or deflect radio reception, causing
poor reception. Poor reception or radio
static can also be caused by electric cur-
rent from overhead wires or high voltage
power lines.Radio Antenna
