Fuel Recommendation
Petrol EngineYou 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, arecommercially 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 underany circumstances. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels are not theresponsibility 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 inhibi-tors.
NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when youare using a petrol/alcohol blend, you should switch back to unleaded petrol con- taining no alcohol.
Diesel EngineThe diesel fuel should be with CetaneNumber (CN) higher than 51 and sulfur content less than 350 ppm (parts per mil- lion). MARUTI SUZUKI recommends touse the diesel fuel conformable to EN590. Do not use marine diesel fuel, heating oils and so forth.NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space toallow for fuel expansion in hotweather. If you continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has automati- cally shut off or an initial blowbackoccurs, the air chamber will become full. Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in this manner will result inleakage 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 containingalcohol 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.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Coolant ReplacementSince special procedures are required, we recommend you take your vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer for coolant replacement.
Air Cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, therewill be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
(For Petrol Engine Model)
76MH0A109
Unclamp the upper clamps, and remove the element from the air cleaner case. If itappears to be dirty, replace it with a new one.
(For Diesel Engine Model)
76MH033
Unclamp the side clamps, and remove the element from the air cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty, replace it with a newone.
Spark Plugs
76MH0A109
68KH072
For nickel spark plugs (traditional type): You should inspect spark plugs periodically for carbon deposits. When carbon accu-mulates on a spark plug, a strong spark may not be produced. Remove carbon deposits with a wire or pin and adjust thespark plug gap.
To access the spark plugs: 1) Unclamp and remove the bolt, then remove the air cleaner case. 2) If necessary, disconnect the coupler (1)while pushing the release lever. 3) Remove the bolts. 4) Pull the ignition coils out.
NOTE: When installation, make sure the wires,couplers, sealing rubber of top cover and washers, are correctly returned in place.
