If
your vehicle
is
not fitted with a restrictor'
in
the fuel filler pipe then
you
may use
leaded or unleaded gasoline with
an
octane number (RON)
of
85
or higher.
Note, it
is
preferable
to
use
unleaded gaso-
line.
If
your vehicle
is
fitted with a restrictor
in
the fuel filler pipe then
you
must use
unleaded gasoline with
an
octane number
(RON)
of
91
or higher (or
RON
of
95
or
higher
if
it is stated
on
the fuel filler lid).
These vehicles are also identified
by
a
label attached near the fuel filler pipe 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
some areas.
Blends
of
this type
may
be
used
in
your
vehicle if they are no more than
10%
etha-
nol. Make sure this gasoline-ethanol blend
has octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for
gasoline.
Gasoline/Methanol blends
Blends
of
unleaded gasoline and methanol
(wood alcohol) are also commercially avail-
able
in
some areas.
DO
NOT USE fuels
containing more than 5% methanol under
any
ci~cumstances.
Fuel system damage
or vehicle performance problems resulting
from
the
use of such fuels are not the
responsibility of SUZUKI and may not
be
covered under the New Vehicle Warranty.
Fuels .containing 5% or less methanol
may
be
sU.ltable
for use
in
your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibi-
tors.
NOTE:
If you
a~e
not satisfied with
the
driveabHity
or
fuel economy
of
your vehicle
when
you
are using
a gasoline/alcohol blend, you
should switch back
to
unleaded gasoline
containing no alcohol. -
CAUTION
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
using
an alter-
native
non
automatic system, initial
vent blowback occurs.
CAUTION
Be careful
not
to
spill
fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. Fuels con-
taining alcohol can cause paint dam-
age,
which
is
not
covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
