3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild detergent or car wash soap using a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should be frequently soaked in the soap solution.
NOTICE
When using a commercial car wash product, observe the cautions speci­fied by the manufacturer. Never use strong household detergents or soaps.
4) Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water. 5) Wipe off the vehicle body with a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
6) Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If there is any damage, touch up the damage following the procedure below: 1. Clean all damaged spots and allow them to dry. 2. Stir the paint and touch up the dam­aged spots lightly using a small brush. 3. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Washing by an automatic car wash
NOTICE
If you use an automatic car wash, check that your vehicle's body parts, such as spoilers, cannot be dam­aged. If you are in doubt, consult the car wash operator for advice.

Washing by a high-pressure cleaner
NOTICE
If you use a high-pressure cleaner, keep away the nozzle from your vehi­cle sufficiently. Bringing the nozzle to your vehicle too close or pointing the nozzle to the opening of front grill or bumper etc. can cause damage and mal­function of the vehicle body and parts. Pointing the nozzle to the weather­strip of door glasses, doors and the sunroof (if equipped) can allow water to enter the cabin.
Waxing
After washing the vehicle, waxing and pol­ishing are recommended to further protect and beautify the paint.

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.
