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.
