Fuel Recommendation
Gasoline Engine
60MS003
If your vehicle is not fitted with a restrictor
in the fuel filler pipe then you may use
leaded or unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 85 or higher.
Note, it is preferable to use unleaded gas-
oline.
If your vehicle is fitted with a restrictor in
the fuel filler pipe then you must use
unleaded gasoline with an octane number
(RON) of 91 or higher (or RON of 90 or
higher if it is stated on the fuel filler lid).
These vehicles are also identified by a
label attached near the fuel filler pipe that
states: “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”.
If the “RON 90 ” label is attached, you must
use unleaded gasoline with an octane
number (RON) of 90 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. Make sure 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
are using a gasoline/alcohol blend, you
should switch back to unleaded gasoline
containing 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 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 up
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
