FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Fuel Recommendation
Petrol Engine
You must use unleaded Petrol with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
Petrol
/Ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded Petrol 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 Petrol-ethanol blend
has octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for Petrol.
Petrol/Methanol blends
Blends of unleaded Petrol and methanol
(wood alcohol) are also commercially avail-
able 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 MARUTI 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.
1-1
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
are using a Petrol/alcohol blend, you
should switch back to unleaded Petrol con-
taining no alcohol.
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.
Diesel Engine
The diesel fuel should be with Cetane Num-
ber (CN) higher than 51 and sulphur content
less than 50 ppm (parts per million).
MARUTI SUZUKI recommends to use the
diesel fuel conformable to EN590. Do not use
marine diesel fuel, heating oils and so forth.
