INSTRUMENT PANEL The rear window defogger only works when the ignition is in ON/RUN. (Rear): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light on the button comes on to show that the rear window defogger is activated. The rear window defogger only works when the ignition is in ON/RUN. The rear window defogger stays on for approximately 10 minutes after the button is pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF. If turned on again, the defogger only runs for about five minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the rear defogger automatically turns on if it is cold outside. When the vehicle transitions out of the remote start mode, the rear defogger turn off. Refer to "Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation" in "Keys" in "Features and Controls" section. Remote Start Climate Control Operation If your vehicle has the remote start feature and it is activated, the climate control system heats and cools the inside of the vehicle using the modes that were set before the vehicle was turned off and the rear defogger automatically turns on. If your vehicle has heated seats, they may turn on when the outside air temperature is about 41°F (5°C) or lower and will shut off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. Refer to "Heated Seats" in "Front Seats" in "Seats and Restraint System" section. Rear Air Conditioning and Heating System If your vehicle has this system, the rear controls are three knobs located on the rear of the center floor console. The system can be controlled from the front controls as well as the rear controls. To turn the system on, press the AUX button on the front climate control system, an indicator light will be lit. Pressing the AUX button the first time will turn the rear system on in a mimic mode. In this mode, the airflow in the rear will be similar to the airflow direction, temperature, and fan speed of the front controls. The rear system can be turned off by pressing the AUX button again or by turning the rear fan control knob counterclockwise all the way. If the rear controls are adjusted after the AUX button is pressed, the system will enter a rear independent mode. Airflow in the rear is then directed according to the settings of the rear controls. CAUTION Do not use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. Outlet Adjustment Use the louvers located on the air outlets to change the direction of the airflow. Operation Tips • Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the vehicle that may block the flow of air into your vehicle. • Do not use any non-SUZUKI approved hood deflectors that could adversely affect the performance of the system. • Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more effectively. 3-13
