Suzuki Genuine Accessories are also remarkably affordable. The monthly cost for these desirable upgrades can be little more than pocket change - especially when buyers finance them along with the vehicle purchase. Any installation labor required by trained Suzuki technicians can be rolled right into the vehicle-financing package, too. No wonder so many buyers choose Suzuki Genuine Accessories for their new Suzuki vehicles.

Car covers for every new Suzuki

With home garages either in short supply or filled with the accoutrements of suburban life, it's a sad fact that many vehicles rarely have a roof over their head. That's when a well-designed car cover to protect paint from bird droppings, tree sap, sun damage and other hazards of outdoor life comes in handy. Suzuki now offers protection by offering four-layer car covers that are individually tailored for each Suzuki car and SUV. These custom covers are moisture resistant, breathable, and dry quickly; the center two of the four layers filter out most airborne pollutants. In addition, the thick, four-layer construction helps absorb most minor impacts from carelessly opened doors, out-of-control shopping carts and other perils.

Staying cool on the run

Installing a car cover may be too time-consuming when out running errands. The quick alternative is a sunshade that will protect your dash from sun damage and keep the interior of the vehicle cooler. Like the covers, Suzuki offers custom-tailored sunshades for each car and SUV. These easy-to-use folding sunshades feature silver reflective material laminated to one side of an insulating foam-core board to deflect damaging UV rays away from the dash and upholstery. Soft felt is affixed to the inner side to keep the vehicle cooler.

Gearing up for the active life

Suzuki's active owners participate in many gear-intensive sports; that's why Suzuki dealers offer aerodynamically styled roof-rack crossbars that accept accessory modules to carry bicycles, skis or snowboards. These wing-styled devices attach to the roof-side rails of the XL-7, Vitara, Grand Vitara, as well as the roof rails of the new Verona and Forenza sedans.

Water, sand, and dirt can play havoc on car seats. For sporty Aerio owners that want to keep their seats in top shape in spite of outdoor adventuring, custom-fitted seat covers are just the ticket. Made of wetsuit-like material, these seat protectors are easily installed and can be removed for cleaning. The two-tone design enhances the appearance of the Aerio's interior, and covers are available for both front and rear seats.

New upgrades for the Verona and Forenza

In 2004, two new cars join the Suzuki lineup- Verona and Forenza-and Suzuki dealers will offer a long list of accessories for them. That list includes a nose mask to protect the cars' finish from stones and road debris. Window and sunroof visors help keep the cars cool on hot, sunny days. Floor and cargo tray mats protect carpets, while wheel locks keep those attractive new aluminum wheels where they belong. A trunk net helps keep large cargo spaces organized, while stainless-steel license plate frames tell the world that the smart vehicle owner is driving a Suzuki Verona or Forenza.

Car care kit

To keep any Suzuki in top shape year round, Suzuki dealers offer a car care kit that contains everything necessary to keep the exterior clean. Included is a sheepskin wash mitt, leather chamois, duster, window squeegee, dust brush and wheel brush-all conveniently stored in a Suzuki-badged wash bucket.

Keeping cargo organized

Available in two sizes, a storage caddy will help keep your Suzuki's cargo area organized and clean. It's a great way to transport groceries, sports equipment, gardening tools-or any other supplies-without risking spills or messes.
