2005 SUZUKI MARUTI fuel type

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1183KFUEL RECOMMENDATION
FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Petrol Engine
You must use unleaded petrol with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
Diesel Engine
The diesel fuel should be with cetane num-
ber (CN) higher than 51 and sulphur con-
tent less than 350 ppm (parts per million).
Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils
and so forth.
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
Warranty.Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may
be suitable for use in your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
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 containing no
alcohol.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 manner will result in leakage due
to fuel expansion. To prevent such
fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler
nozzle has automatically shut off, or
when using an alternative non
automatic system, initial vent
blowback occurs.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alcohol
can cause paint damage, which is not
covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

w WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips
in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions.
Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres on
the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the Tyre Information
Label located on the driver’s door pillar.
Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to raise
(jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteristics.
Oversized tyres may also rub against
the fender over bumps, causing
vehicle damage or tire failure.
After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brakes while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.

w WARNING
Remove the fuel filler cap slowly. The
fuel may be under pressure and may
spray out, causing injury.
w ww w
w WARNING
Petrol is extremely flammable. Do not
smoke when refueling, and make sure
there are no open flames or sparks in
the area.
EXAMPLE
83K-05-017
The fuel tank filler cap has a “screw-on
ratcheting type” feature.
To remove, turn the cap counterclock-
wise. Turn the cap slowly to allow any
residual pressure to escape.
To install, turn the cap clockwise and
tighten it securely until a “ratcheting”
(clicking) sound is heard. The “ratchet-
ing” sound indicates that the cap is on
properly. The fuel filler cap is located on the left rear
side of the vehicle. The fuel filler lid can be
unlocked by pulling up the opener lever
located on the outboard side of the driver’s
seat and locked by simply closing the lid.
If you need to replace the fuel cap,
use a MARUTI genuine cap. Use of an
improper cap can result in a malfunc-
tion of the fuel system or emission
control system. It may also result in
fuel leakage in the event of an acci-
dent.
