1-1FUEL RECOMMENDATION54P00-01EFuel recommendationGasoline engine54P000101You must use unleaded gasoline with anoctane number (RON) of 91 or higher (orRON of 95 or higher if it is stated on thefuel filler lid). These vehicles are also iden-tified by a label attached near the fuel fillerpipe that states: “UNLEADED FUELONLY”, “NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”,“ENDAST BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLOGASOLINA SIN PLOMO”.If a “RON 95” label is attached, you mustuse unleaded gasoline with an octanenumber (RON) of 95 or higher.Gasoline-ethanol blendsBlends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, arecommercially available in some areas.Blends of this type may be used in yourvehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-nol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blendhas octane ratings no lower than thoserecommended for gasoline.Gasoline-methanol blendsBlends of unleaded gasoline and methanol(wood alcohol) are also commerciallyavailable in some areas. DO NOT USEfuels containing more than 5% methanolunder any circumstances. Fuel systemdamage or vehicle performance problemsresulting from the use of such fuels are notthe responsibility of SUZUKI and may notbe covered under the New Vehicle War-ranty.Fuels containing 5% or less methanol maybe suitable for use in your vehicle if theycontain cosolvents and corrosion inhibi-tors.NOTE:If you are not satisfied with the driveabilityor fuel economy of your vehicle when youuse a gasoline-alcohol blend, you shouldswitch back to unleaded gasoline contain-ing no alcohol.NOTE:For Mexico:For additional instruction, refer to “SUP-PLEMENT” section in the end of this book.EXAMPLENOTICEThe fuel tank has an air space toallow for fuel expansion in hotweather. If you continue to add fuelafter the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off or an initial blowbackoccurs, the air chamber will becomefull. Exposure to heat when fullyfuelled in this manner will result inleakage due to fuel expansion. Toprevent such fuel leakage, stop fillingafter the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off, or when initial ventblowback occurs, if using an alterna-tive non-automatic system.NOTICEBe careful not to spill fuel containingalcohol while refueling. If fuel isspilled on the vehicle body, wipe it upimmediately. Fuels containing alco-hol can cause paint damage, which isnot covered under the New VehicleLimited Warranty.
