Fuel recommendationGasoline engine
75RM304
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter,
you must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or
95 or higher if it is stated on the fuel filler
lid), which comply with the European stan-
dard EN228. 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 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 recommended 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.
Gasoline containing MTBE
(where legally available)
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl
ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
NOTE:
• For the fuel recommendation of Chile andPanama models, refer to “For Chile and
Panama” in the “SUPPLEMENT” section.

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 automatically shut off or
an initial blowback occurs, the air
chamber will become full. Exposure
to heat when fully fuelled in this man-
ner will result in leakage due to fuel
expansion. To prevent such fuel leak-
age, stop filling after the filler nozzle
has automatically shut off, or when
initial vent blowback occurs, if using
an alternative 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.

WA R N I N G
When using child restraint system on
the front passenger’s seat, the front
passenger’s air bag must be deacti-
vated; otherwise deployment of the
front passenger’s air bag could result
in the death or serious injury of the
child.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the front passenger’s air
bag is activated and the “PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG ON” indicator is on
whenever there is no child restraint
installed on the front passenger’s
seat.
