FUEL RECOMMENDATION
54P00-01E
Fuel recommendation
Gasoline engine
54P000101
You must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or
RON of 95 or higher if it is stated on the
fuel filler lid). These vehicles are also iden-
tified by a label attached near the fuel filler
pipe that states: “UNLEADED FUEL
ONLY”, “NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”,
“ENDAST BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLO
GASOLINA SIN PLOMO”.
If a “RON 95” label is attached, you must
use unleaded gasoline with an octane
number (RON) of 95 or higher.Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline 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% etha-
nol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend
has octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for gasoline.
Gasoline-methanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline 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 SUZUKI and may not
be covered under the New Vehicle War-
ranty.
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may
be suitable for use in your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibi-
tors.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded gasoline contain-
ing no alcohol.NOTE:
For Mexico:
For additional instruction, refer to “SUP-
PLEMENT” section in the end of this book.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
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 automati-
cally 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 automati-
cally shut off, or when initial vent
blowback occurs, if using an alterna-
tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
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.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
54P00-01E
Diesel engine
The diesel fuel should be with cetane index
higher than 50, sulfur content less than 10
ppm (parts per million) and up to 7 % of
biodiesel (B7) as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester). You should use the diesel fuel con-
formable to EN590 that corresponds to
Euro VI emission control.
Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils,
etc. If you use improper diesel fuel, it may
cause serious engine damage.
NOTICE
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 automati-
cally 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 automati-
cally shut off, or when using an alter-
native non-automatic system, initial
vent blowback occurs.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it off
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is

Head restraints are designed to help
reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case
of an accident. Adjust the head restraint to
the position which places the center of the
head restraint closest to the top of your
ears. If this is not possible for very tall pas-
sengers, adjust the head restraint as high
as possible.NOTE:
It may be necessary to recline the seat-
back to provide enough overhead clear-
ance to remove the head restraint.

Seat adjustment
WA R N I N G
Improperly using the seat heater can
be hazardous. An occupant can suf-
fer burns even if the heating tempera-
ture is fairly low, if the occupant
wears thin pants, a thin skirt or
shorts and leaves the heater on for
long periods.
Avoid using the seat heater for these
occupants:
• People who have reduced feeling in
their legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
• Small children or anyone with sen-
sitive skin.
• People who are asleep or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
which make them tired.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heater ele-
ment:
• Do not subject the front seats to
heavy impacts, such as children
jumping on them.
• Do not cover the seat with any
insulating materials such as blan-
kets or cushions.
WA R N I N G
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
check that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
WA R N I N G
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.
