FUEL RECOMMENDATION
UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
You must use unleaded petrol with an
octane number (RON) of 87 or higher. Your
vehicle is fitted with a restrictor in the fuel
filler pipe which will not allow the use of
large nozzle used for dispensing leaded fuel
at filling station. A label is also attached
near the fuel filler pipe of your vehicle that
states: "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY".
CAUTION
Use of leaded fuel in vehicle equipped
with catalytic converter is prohibited,
because leads deactivates the pollutant
reducing components of catalytic
converter and may result in permanent
damage to catalytic converter.
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 10%
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 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 driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
are using a petmrol/alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded petrol containing no
alcohol.
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refuelling. Fuels
containing alcohol can cause paint
damage, which is not covered under
Warranty.
CAUTION
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.

The fuel filler cap is located on the left rear
side of the vehicle. The fuel filler lid can be
unlocked by pulling up the opener lever located
on the outboard side of the driver's seat and
locked by simply closing the lid.
Remove the fuel filler cap slowly. The
fuel may be under pressure and may
spray out, causing injury.
Petrol Is extremely flammable. Do not
smoke when refuelling, and make sure
there are no open flames or sparks in
the area.

The fuel tank filler cap has a "screw-on ratcheting
type" feature.
• To remove - turn the cap counterclockwise.
Turn the cap slowly to allow any residual
pressure to escape.
• To install - turn the cap clockwise and
tighten it securely until a "ratcheting"
(clicking) sound is heard. The "ratcheting"
sound indicates that the cap is on properly.

FOLDING REAR SEATS
70F-04-008E
If you need to replace the fuel cap, use
only a cap specified for your model.
Using an improper fuel cap can cause
a serious malfunction of the fuel
system. You can get the correct
replacement cap from your MARUTI
dealer.

The rear seat of your vehicle can be folded
forward ro provide additional luggage space.
To lower the seatback, hook the webbing of
both outboard lap-shoulder belts in the belt
hangers, pull up the lock knobs (© and @)
simultaneously and fold forward the seatback.
To raise the seatback, lift it up and push back
until it locks into place.
When you move a seatback, make sure
the belt webbing is hooked in the belt
hangers (if equipped) so the seat belts
are not caught by the seatback, seat
hinge, or seat latch.This helps prevent
damage to the belt system.
63B-06-014
When returning a rear seat to the
normal position, make sure that
movement of the seatback is
unobstructed and the seatback is
securely latched.
