LEAK DETECTION PUMPNOTE:
Your vehicle has a pump to regularly check
the vehicle’s evaporative emission control
system for leaks. This check is performed
approximately five hours after the engine is
turned off. During this leak check, you may
hear a sound coming from the vehicle for
several minutes. This sound is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.

54G27-03E
Fuel Recommendation
60A004
Your vehicle requires regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum rating of 87 pump
octane ((R + M)/2 method). In some areas,
the only fuels that are available are oxy-
genated fuels.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the mini-
mum octane requirement and the require-
ments described below may be used in
your vehicle without jeopardizing the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain
oxygen-carrying additives such as MTBE
or alcohol.
Gasoline Containing MTBEUnleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
Gasoline/Ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol,
may be used in your vehicle if the ethanol
content is not greater than 10%.
Gasoline/Methanol blends
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol
(wood alcohol) may be suitable for use in
your vehicle if they contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors. 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 Limited
Warranty.
Fuel Pump LabelingIn some states, pumps that dispense oxy-
genated fuels are required to be labeled for
the type and percentage of oxygenate and
whether important additives are present.
Such labels may provide enough informa-
tion for you to determine if a particular
blend of fuel meets the requirements listed
above. In other areas, pumps may not be
clearly labeled as to the content or type of
oxygenate and additives. If you are not
sure that the fuel you intend to use meets
these requirements, check with the service
station operator or the fuel supplier.
NOTE:
To help clean the air, SUZUKI recom-
mends you use the oxygenated fuels.
However, if you are not satisfied with the
driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle
when you are using an oxygenated fuel,
switch back to the regular unleaded gaso-
line.
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. Fuels con-
taining alcohol can cause paint dam-
age, which is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

To lock the doors, push the “LOCK” but-
ton on the transmitter.
To unlock the driver’s door, push the
“UNLOCK” button on the transmitter

about 5 m (16 ft.), but this can vary
depending on the surroundings, espe-
cially near other transmitting devices
such as radio towers or CB (Citizen’s
Band) radios.
The door locks can not be operated with
the transmitter if the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition switch.
If you lose one of the transmitters, ask

To change the old transmitter codes in
your vehicle’s memory
If you have lost one of the transmitters, you
should change the transmitter codes in
your vehicle’s memory as soon as possible
for security.
To remove one of the transmitter codes
from your vehicle’s memory, first replace all
three of the transmitter codes in your vehi-
cle’s memory, then program additional
transmitters as follows:
1) Program one of your transmitters four
times, by repeating the programming
procedure shown in this section. This
will replace all the old transmitter codes
in the vehicle’s memory with the code
for the transmitter you are using.
2) If you want to program up to two addi-
tional transmitters, repeat the program-
ming procedure shown in this section.
3) Make sure that the keyless entry sys-
tem operates properly by operating
each transmitter.1. For USA

Each of the rear side doors is equipped
with a child lock which can be used to help
prevent unwanted opening of the door from
inside the vehicle. When the lock lever is in
the “LOCK” position (1), the rear side door
can only be opened from outside. When
the lock lever is in the “UNLOCK” position
(2), the rear side door can be opened from
inside or outside.
WARNING
Be sure to place the child lock in the
“LOCK” position whenever children
are seated in the rear.

Seat Belts and Child Restraint
Systems
54G32265D606
EXAMPLE
WARNING
An air bag supplements, or adds to,
the frontal crash protection offered
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by wearing seat belts at all times,
whether or not an air bag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.EXAMPLE
Rear
Front
WARNING
Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.

WARNING
(Continued)
Shoulder straps should be worn on
the outside shoulder only, and
never under the arm.
Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than one which is snug.
(Continued)
Across the pelvis
WARNING
(Continued)
Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the diagram.
Make sure that each seat belt
buckle is inserted into the proper
buckle catch. It is possible to cross
the buckles in the rear seat.
(Continued)
as low as possible
across the hips
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated, or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
Children age 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat, if equipped.
