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 “Maintenance schedule” in “INSPEC-
TION AND MAINTENANCE” section.
(For models with air conditioner refrig-
erant R-1234yf)
NOTE:
• Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly
called R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-
134a for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, but only R-
1234yf should be used in your vehicle.
(For the country of Singapore)
• For repair and parts replacement, have
your vehicle repaired or replaced parts
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer that
has the mechanic qualified with SAE
J2845 for air conditioner of R-1234yf.
(For models with air conditioner refrig-
erant R-134a)

for automotive applications. Other refriger-
ants are available, including recycled R-12,
but only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.

Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or
