3-1BEFORE DRIVING
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONYou must use unleaded petrol with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.Use of leaded fuel in vehicle equipped
with catalytic converter is prohibited,
because lead deactivates the pollutant
reducing components of catalytic
converter and may result in permanent
damage to catalytic converter. Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refuelling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alcohol
can cause paint damage, which is not
covered under New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automatically
shut off or an initial blowback occurs,
the air chamber will become full.
Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in
this manner will result in leakage due
to fuel expansion. To prevent such
fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler
nozzle has automatically shut off, or
when using an alternative non
automatic system, initial vent
blowback occurs.
Petrol/Ethanol Blends
Blends of unleaded petrol and ethanol (grain
alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in some areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 5% ethanol.
Make sure this petrol-ethanol blend has
octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for petrol.
Petrol/Methanol Blends
Blends of unleaded petrol and methanol
(wood alcohol) are also commercially
available in some areas. 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 MARUTI SUZUKI and
may not be covered under Warranty.
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may
be suitable for use in your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveabilityor fuel economy of your vehicle when youare using a petrol/alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded petrol containing noalcohol.
