M16A engine models
Your vehicle requires regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum rating of 87 pump
octane ((R + M)/2 method). In some areas,
the only fuels that are available are oxy-
genated fuels.
K14C engine models
Your vehicle requires regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum rating of 91 pump
octane ((R + M)/2 method). In some areas,
the only fuels that are available are oxy-
genated fuels.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the mini-
mum octane requirement and the require-
ments described below may be used in
your vehicle without jeopardizing the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain
oxygen-carrying additives such as MTBE
or alcohol.
If the “RON 95” label is attached, you must
use unleaded gasoline with a minimum rat-
ing of 91 pump octane ((R + M)/2 method).
Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol,
may be used in your vehicle if the ethanol
content is not greater than 10%.
Fuel pump labeling
In some states, pumps that dispense oxy-
genated fuels are required to be labeled
for the type and percentage of oxygenate
and whether important additives are pres-
ent. Such labels may provide enough infor-
mation for you to determine if a particular
blend of fuels meets the requirements
listed above. In other areas, pumps may
not be clearly labeled as to the content or
type of oxygenate and additives. If you are
not sure that the fuel you intend to use
meets these requirements, check with the
service station operator or the fuel sup-
plier.
NOTE:
To help clean the air, SUZUKI recom-
mends you use the oxygenated fuels.
However, if you are not satisfied with the
driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle
when you are using an oxygenated fuel,
switch back to the regular unleaded gaso-
line.
EXAMPLE
or
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.
