INSTRUMENT PANEL (Rear): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light on the button comes on to let you know that the rear window defogger is activated. The rear window defogger only works when the ignition is in RUN. The rear window defogger stays on for approximately 15 minutes after the button is pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC or LOCK. 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. 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. 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. 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. 1732690 Fan Knob Turn the left knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed. Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise to turn the rear system off. Temperature Knob The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area. Turn the knob clockwise toward the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air. 3-13
