APPEARANCE CARE
Cleaning interior
Vinyl upholstery Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter­gent dissolved in warm water. Apply the solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt. · Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and the soap solution. If some dirt still remains on the surface, repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth dampened with water. Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a commercial fab­ric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manu­facturer's instructions and precautions.
Leather upholstery Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap or saddle soap solution, wipe dirt off with a clean damp soft cloth. To remove soap, wipe the areas again with a soft cloth dampened with water. Wipe the areas dry with a soft dry cloth. Repeat this until the dirt or stain is removed, or use a commercial leather cleaner for tougher dirt or stains. If you use a leather cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer's instruc­tions and precautions. Do not use solvent type cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: In order to keep leather upholstery look­ing good, it should be cleaned at least twice a year. If leather upholstery becomes wet, immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper or a soft cloth. Water may cause leather to harden and shrink if it is not wiped off. When parking on sunny days, select a shady place or use a sunshade. If leather upholstery is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, it may disco/or and shrink. As is common with natural materials, leather is inherently irregular in grain and cowhide has spots in its natural state. These do not affect the performance of the leather in any way.
Seat belts Clean seat belts with a mild soap and water. Do not use bleach or dye on the belts. They may weaken the fabric in the belts.
Vinyl floor mats Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl with water or mild soap. Use a brush to help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened, rinse the mat thoroughly wtth water and dry it in the shade.
Carpets Remove dirt and soil as much as possible with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth dampened with water. Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a commercial carpet cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a carpet cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer's instruc­tions and precautions.
Instrument panel and console Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Gently wipe dirt off with a tightly squeezed damp clean cloth. Repeat this until the dirt is removed.

NOTICE
Do not use chemical products that contain silicon to wipe electrical components such as the air condi­tioning system, audio1 navigation system, or other switches. These will cause damage to the components.
NOTICE
Liquid such as liquid aromatics, soft drinks or juice may cause dis­coloration, wrinkles, and cracking to resin-based parts and textiles. Immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper or a soft cloth. Do not leave leather products with color, fur or vinyl products, etc. in your vehicle for long periods. It may cause discoloration or deterio­ration of interior.
Cleaning exterior
NOTICE
It is important that your vehicle be kept clean and free from dirt. Failure to keep your vehicle clean may result in fading of the paint or corrosion to various parts of the vehicle body.
Caring for aluminum wheels
NOTE: Do not use an acidic or alkaline deter­gent, or a cleaner containing petroleum solvent to wash aluminum wheels. These types of cleaner will cause per­manent spots, disco/oration and cracks on finished surfaces and damage to cen­ter caps. Do not use a bristle brush and soap con­taining an abrasive material. These will damage finished surfaces.

for some vehicles)
00000
78RB10003
The chassis and/or engine serial numbers are used to register the vehicle. They are also used to assist a SUZUKI dealer when ordering or referring to special service information. Whenever you have occasion to consult a SUZUKI dealer, remember to identify your vehicle with this number. Should you find the number difficult to read, you will also find it on the identifica­
tion plate.
Engine serial number
78RB10004
The engine serial number is stamped on the cylinder block as shown in the illustra­tion.

Fuel recommendation
78RB0901R
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you must use unleaded gasoline with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or 95 or higher if a "RON 95" label is attached on the fuel filler lid), which complies with the Euro­pean standard EN228. Do not use gasoline with additives containing metal.This is identi­fied by a label attached on fuel lid that states: "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY", "NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN", "ENDAST BLY­FRI BENSIN" or "SOLO GASOLINA SIN PLOMO".
Gasoline-ethanol blends Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are commercially available in certain areas. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha­nol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for the gasoline.
Use the recommended gasoline which conforms to the following labels.
NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when you use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should switch back to unleaded gasoline contain­ing no alcohol.
Gasoline containing MTBE (where legally available) Unleaded gasoline containing MTB_E (methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in your vehicle if the MTBE content 1s not greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel does not contain alcohol.
SPECIFICATION
NOTICE
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 automati-cally 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 automati-cally shut off, or when initial vent blowback occurs, if using an alterna-tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol 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.
NOTE: For the fuel recommendation of Chile, Panama and Argentina models, refer to "For Chile, Panama and Argentina" in the "SUPPLEMENT" section.

Seat belt warning
Follow this warning as well as the instruc­tion for seat belt in this book.
A WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. • Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. • Care should be taken to avoid con­tamination of the webbing with pol­ishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) • It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is danger­ous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap,
In the case where a "Seat Belt Assembly'' incorporates an "Automatic Length Adjust­ing and Locking Retractor' or an "Emer­gency Locking Retractor'.
A WARNING
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. Referring to the SEAT BELT instruction in this book, adjust the seat belt so that the lap and sash portions of the Seat Belt Assembly fit as firmly as possible consistent with comfort.
