Windshield washer fluid
80JM078
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.
Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality
windshield washer fluid, diluted with water
as necessary.
Air conditioning system
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.
Air conditioner filter replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask
an authorized SUZUKI dealer for this job.

WARNING
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windshield washer reservoir. This
can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and also
can damage your vehicle’s paint.
NOTICE
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.
