Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1-1 FUEL RECOMMENDATION
66J21-03E
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.
