Leather upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap or saddle soap solution,
wipe dirt off with a clean damp soft cloth.
To remove soap, wipe the areas again with
a soft cloth dampened with water. Wipe the
areas dry with a soft dry cloth. Repeat this
until the dirt or stain is removed, or use a
commercial leather cleaner for tougher dirt
or stains. If you use a leather cleaner,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and precautions. Do not use solvent
type cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
NOTE:
• In order to keep leather upholstery look-ing good, it should be cleaned at least
twice a year.
• If leather upholstery becomes wet, immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper
or a soft cloth. Water may cause leather
to harden and shrink if it is not wiped off.
• When parking on sunny days, select a
shady place or use a sunshade. If
leather upholstery is exposed to direct
sunlight for a long time, it may discolor
and shrink.
• As is common with natural materials, leather is inherently irregular in grain and
cowhide has spots in its natural state.
These do not affect the performance of
the leather in any way. Seat belts
Clean seat belts with a mild soap and
water. Do not use bleach or dye on the
belts. They may weaken the fabric in the
belts.
Vinyl floor mats
Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl
with water or mild soap. Use a brush to
help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened,
rinse the mat thoroughly with water and
dry it in the shade.
Carpets
Remove dirt and soil as much as possible
with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap
solution, rub stained areas with a clean
damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas
again with a cloth dampened with water.
Repeat this until the stain is removed, or
use a commercial carpet cleaner for
tougher stains. If you use a carpet cleaner,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and precautions.
Instrument panel and console
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Gently wipe dirt off with a tightly squeezed
damp clean cloth. Repeat this until the dirt
is removed.
NOTICE
Do not use chemical products that
contain silicon to wipe electrical
components such as the air condi-
tioning system, audio, navigation
system, or other switches. These will
cause damage to the components.
NOTICE
• Liquid such as liquid aromatics,
soft drinks or juice may cause dis-
coloration, wrinkles, and cracking
to resin-based parts and textiles.
Immediately wipe it dry with tissue
paper or a soft cloth.
• Do not leave leather products with color, fur or vinyl products, etc. in
your vehicle for long periods. It
may cause discoloration or deterio-
ration of interior.

NOTICE
If you use an automatic car wash,
check that your vehicle’s body parts,
such as spoilers, cannot be dam-
aged. If you are in doubt, consult the
car wash operator for advice.
NOTICE
If you use a high-pressure cleaner,
keep away the nozzle from your vehi-
cle sufficiently.
• Bringing the nozzle to your vehicle
too close or pointing the nozzle to
the opening of front grill or bumper
etc. can cause damage and mal-
function of the vehicle body and

Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it.
WA R N I N G
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.

K12M engine models
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter,
you must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
These vehicles are also identified 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”. Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in certain 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 recom-
mended for the gasoline.
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.
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.

SUPPLEMENT
75RM4-01E
For MexicoFuel recommendation
75RM304
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.
If the “RON 95” label is attached, you must
use unleaded gasoline with a minimum rat-
ing of 91 pump octane ((R + M)/2 method).
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 gr
eater than 10%.
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 pres-
ent. Such labels may provide enough infor-
mation 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.

Tire rotation4-tire rotation
54G114
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated as recom-
mended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tire pressures to the specification
listed on your vehicle’s Tire Information
Label.
For TaiwanAir bag symbol meaning
61MS503
You may find this label on the sun visor.Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
Your vehicle is equipped with the front pas-
senger’s air bag deactivation system. The
front passenger’s front air bag must be
deactivated if a child restraint system is to
be installed on the fr
ont passenger’s seat.
WA R N I N G
Infants and children who require
child restraint systems should not be
seated in the front passenger’s seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it.
• Never use a rearward facing child
restraint system for the front pas-
senger’s seat.
• If it is necessary to use a forward facing child restraint system for the
front passenger’s seat, deactivate
the front passenger’s front air bag
in advance.
Otherwise, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
