Maintenance
If 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.
If your air conditioner 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 autho-
rised Maruti Suzuki workshop as the lower
glove box must be lowered for this job.
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.
Radio Antenna
68PH00559
The radio antenna on the roof is remov-
able. To remove the antenna, turn it coun-
terclockwise. To reinstall the antenna, turn
it clockwise firmly by hand.
Installation of Radio
Frequency Transmitters
We recommend that you always ask a
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop about
frequency band, max output power,
antenna position at vehicle and specific
conditions for installation and/or use before
installing a radio transmitter in your vehi-
cle. Such equipments may cause the elec-
tronic control system to malfunction if they
are incorrectly installed or they are not
suited for the 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.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the radio
antenna:
• Remove the antenna when using an
automatic car wash.
• Remove the antenna when the
antenna hits anything such as a
low ceiling in a parking garage or
putting a car cover over your vehi-
cle.
