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.

MIRRORS

Day-Night Rearview Mirror (if equipped)
To adjust the interior rearview mirror, set the
selector tab to the day position, then move
the mirror up, down, or sideways to obtain the
best view.
When driving at night, you can move the
selector tab to the night position to reduce
glare from the headlights of vehicles behind
you.
Always adjust the mirror with the
selector set to the day position.
Only use the night position if it is
necessary to reduce glare from the
headlights of vehicles behind you. Be
aware that in this position you may
not be able to see some objects that
could be seen in the day position.
Outside Rearview Mirrors
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors so you can
just see the side of your vehicle in the mirrors.
A WARNING
Be careful when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle or other object
seen in the side convex mirror (if
equipped). Be aware that objects look
smaller and appear farther away than
when seen in a flat mirror.

Your vehicle is equipped with the shoulder
anchor height adjusters for the front seat belts,
adjust the shoulder anchor height so that the
shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outboard shoulder. To adjust the shoulder
anchor height, slide the anchor up or down
while pulling the lock knob out. After
adjustment, make sure that the acnhor is
securely locked.

sort should be made to the seat belt or
its operating mechanism.

Seat Belt Hanger (if equipped)
When you move a seatback, make sure
the belt webbing is hooked in the belt
hangers so the seat belts are not
caught by the seatback, seat hinge, or
seat latch. This helps prevent damage
to the belt system.

Lap belt
On this belt the adjuster is incorporated in
the tongue unit.
To tighten the belt, pull the free end of the

buckle unit, pull the tongue (adjuster) in the
direction of the arrow, at right angles to the

NOTE:
To identify the center seat belt buckle catch
and tongue in the rear seat, "CENTER" is
moulded on the buckle catch and tongue of
the center lap belt. The buckle catches are
designed so a buckle tongue can not be
inserted into the wrong buckle catch.

Child Restraint Systems
MARUTI highly recommends that you use a
child restraint system to restrain infants and
small children. Many different types of child
restraint systems are available; make sure that
the restaint system you select meets
applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap portion of lap-shoulder belts. Whenever
possible, Maruti recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics children are
safer when properly restrained in rear seating
positions than in front seating positions.
