SERVICE AND APPEARANCE CARE
Service
Your dealer knows your vehicle best and
wants you to be happy with it. We hope
you'll go to your dealer for all your service
needs. You'll get genuine SUZUKI parts
and SUZUKI trained and supported ser-
vice people.
We hope you'll want to keep your SUZUKI
vehicle all SUZUKI.

Doing Your Own Service Work

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work,
see "Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Vehicle" in section 1.
You should keep a record with all parts
receipts and list the mileage and the date
of any service work you perform. See
"Maintenance Record" in section 6.

You can be injured and your vehicle
could be damaged if you try to do
service work on a vehicle without
knowing enough about it.
• Be sure you have sufficient knowl-
edge,
replacement parts and tools before
you attempt any vehicle mainte-
nance task.
• Be sure to use the proper nuts,
bolts
"English" and "metric" fasteners
can be easily confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
Adding Equipment to the Outside of
Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of
your vehicle can affect the airflow around
it. This may cause wind noise and affect
windshield washer performance. Check
with your dealer before adding equipment
to the outside of your vehicle.

Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel is an impor-
tant part of the proper maintenance of your
vehicle.

Gasoline Octane

Use only unleaded gasoline with a posted
octane rating of 87 or higher. In an emer-
gency, you may be able to use a lower
octane rating – as low as 85 – if heavy
knocking does not occur. Refill your tank
with proper fuel as soon as possible. Oth-
erwise, you might damage your engine. If
you are using 87 or higher-octane rating
fuel and you hear heavy knocking, your
engine needs service.
California Fuel
If your vehicle is certified to meet California
Emission Standards (see the underhood
emission control label), it is designed to
operate on fuels that meet California spec-
ifications. If this fuel is not available in
states adopting California emissions stan-
dards, your vehicle will operate satisfacto-
rily on fuels meeting federal specifications,
but emission control system performance
may be affected. The malfunction indicator
lamp may turn on (see Malfunction Indica-
tor Lamp in section 3) and your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs,
return to your dealer for diagnosis.
