FUEL RECOMMENDATION

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.

Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.
Tachometer (if equipped)
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.
Fuel Gauge
With tachometer
76MH0A037
Without tachometer
76MH0A038
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, this gauge gives an approximate indication of the amount of fuel in the fueltank. “F” stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the fuel meter indicator shows only one segment to “E”, refill the tank as soon aspossible.
NOTE: If the last segment blinks, it means that thefuel is almost empty.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately.
NOTE:The activation point of the low fuel warning light (1) varies depending on road condi- tions (for example, slope or curve) anddriving conditions because of fuel moving in the tank.
Refer to “Low Fuel Warning Light” in“Warning and Indicator Lights” in this sec- tion for details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler door is located on the left side of the vehi-cle.
Brightness Control
76MH0A039
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, the pointer lights come on.
Your vehicle has a system to automaticallydim the brightness of the instrument panellights when the position lights or headlights are on.
When the position lights and/or headlights are ON, you can control the meter illumina- tion intensity.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with theengine revving in the red zone, orsevere engine damage can result. Keep the engine speed below the red zone even when downshifting to alower gear position. Refer to “Down- shifting maximum allowable speeds” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE”section.
