• Avoid spilling fuel. Any spilt fuelmust be wiped clean with a soft

the paintwork in the area.
 Close the fuel filler cap firmly after refueling. A loose cap may cause
fuel leakage and eventually a fire.
 If you need to replace the fuel cap, use a genuine SUZUKI cap. Use of
an improper cap can result in a
malfunction of the fuel system or
emission control system. It may
also result in fuel leakage in the
event of an accident.
