1-1FUEL RECOMMENDATION
57L20-03E
Fuel Recommendation
60A004
Your vehicle requires regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum rating of 87 pump
octane ((R + M)/2 method). In some areas,
the only fuels that are available are oxy-
genated fuels.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the mini-
mum octane requirement and the require-
ments described below may be used in
your vehicle without jeopardizing the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain
oxygen-carrying additives such as MTBE
or alcohol.
Gasoline Containing MTBEUnleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
Gasoline/Ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol,
may be used in your vehicle if the ethanol
content is not greater than 10%.
Gasoline/Methanol blends
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol
(wood alcohol) may be suitable for use in
your vehicle if they contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Do NOT USE fuels
containing more than 5% methanol under
any circumstances. Fuel system damage
or vehicle performance problems resulting
from the use of such fuels are not the
responsibility of SUZUKI and may not be
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Fuel Pump LabelingIn some states, pumps that dispense oxy-
genated fuels are required to be labeled for
the type and percentage of oxygenate and
whether important additives are present.
Such labels may provide enough informa-
tion for you to determine if a particular
blend of fuel meets the requirements listed
above. In other areas, pumps may not be
clearly labeled as to the content or type of
oxygenate and additives. If you are not
sure that the fuel you intend to use meets
these requirements, check with the service
station operator or the fuel supplier.
NOTE:
To help clean the air, SUZUKI recom-
mends you use the oxygenated fuels.
However, if you are not satisfied with the
driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle
when you are using an oxygenated fuel,
switch back to the regular unleaded gaso-
line.
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Immobilizer SystemThe immobilizer system is an anti-theft fea-
ture, which checks whether the keyless
start system remote controller that is com-
municating via radio waves with the vehicle
has been registered to the vehicle’s key-
less start system. If the remote controller is
not a registered one, the system will refuse
to start the engine using it.Immobilizer/Keyless Start System
Warning Light
85K2210
This light is on the instrument cluster.
 When you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
light comes on briefly so you can check
that the light is working. If the light is
flashing, the engine cannot be started.
 The light also flashes when the “remote
controller outside” warning works.NOTE:
 The immobilizer/keyless start system is
normal if this light goes out in 2 seconds
after pressing the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”. If the
light fails to go out in this period, there is
something wrong with the system. There
is also a problem with the system if the
light remains on for 5 seconds after the
engine switch is pressed when the
switch is in any other ignition mode than
“ON”.
 Illumination or flashing of the light may
be accompanied by a message on the
information display in the instrument
cluster.
NOTE:
 If you lose your keyless start system
remote controller, see your SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible to have the
lost one deactivated, then have the new
remote controller made by them.
 If you own other vehicles with keyless
start system remote controller, keep
those remote controllers away from the
engine switch when using your SUZUKI,
or the engine may not be started
because they may interfere with your
SUZUKI’s immobilizer system.
 In case of attaching any metal objects to
the keyless start system remote control-
ler, it may not start the engine.1. For USA
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
WARNING
Never leave the keyless start system
remote controller in the vehicle when
leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION
The keyless start system remote con-
troller is a sensitive electronic instru-
ment. To avoid damaging the keyless
start system remote controller:
 Do not expose it to impacts, mois-
ture or high temperature such as
on the dashboard under direct sun-
light.
 Keep the keyless start system
remote controller away from mag-
netic objects.
