Fuel Recommendation
Petrol Engine
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you
must use unleaded petrol with an octane
number (RON) of 91 or higher.
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 are recommended for
this vehicle if they are no more than 10%
ethanol. The vehicle may also be plied with
blend of no more than 20% ethanol.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
are using 20% ethanol blend, you should
switch back to blend of no more than 10%
ethanol.
Gasoline containing MTBE
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
CAUTION
Use of spurious, low quality, adulter-
ated fuel can cause damage to the
engine and engine auxilliaries, affect
functioning of engine and degrade
engine performance including but
not limited to engine seizure.
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 automatically shut off,
or when initial vent blowback
occurs, if using an alternative non-
automatic system.
• Be careful not to spill fuel contain-
ing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it
up immediately. Fuels containing
alcohol can cause paint damage,
which is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Keys
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of keys.
The key(s) may or may not be equipped
with a transmitter depending on model
variant. Keep the spare key in a safe
place. One key can open all of the locks on
the vehicle
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on
the keys. Keep the tag in a safe place. If
you lose your keys, you will need this num-
ber to have new keys made. Write the
number below for your future reference.
Immobilizer system
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
or keyless push start system remote con-
troller, which has an electronic identifica-
tion code programmed in it. The key or
remote controller communicates the identi-
fication code to the vehicle when the igni-
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”. If you need to make
spare keys or remote controllers, see your
an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
The vehicle must be programmed with the
correct identification code for the spare. A
key made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
80JM122
If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-
tem warning light blinks or comes on when
the ignition switch is in “ON” position or the
ignition mode is “ON”, the engine will not
start.
If this light blinks or comes on, turn the
ignition switch to “LOCK” position, and
then turn it back to “ON” position.
If the light still blinks after or comes on the
ignition switch is turned back to “ON” posi-
tion, there may be something wrong with
your key or with the immobilizer system.
Ask an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop
to have the system inspected.
NOTE:
• If you lose your immobilizer ignition key
or remote controller, ask an authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as pos-
sible to deactivate the lost one, and to
make a new key or remote controller.
• If you own other vehicles with immobi-
lizer keys, keep those keys away from
the ignition switch or the engine switch
when using your MARUTI SUZUKI vehi-
cle. Otherwise, or the engine may not be
started because they may interfere with
your MARUTI SUZUKI vehicle’s immobi-
lizer system.
• If you attach any metal objects to the
immobilizer key or remote controller, it
may not start the engine.

• Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than a snug belt.
• Check that seat belt latch plate
(tongue) is inserted into the proper
buckle especially in the rear seats.
It is not possible to insert into the
wrong buckles in the rear seats.

• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the illustration.
• Do not wear seat belts over hard,
fragile, or sharp items such as
pens, keys, eyeglasses, etc. in
pockets or on clothing. The pres-
sure from seat belt on such items
can cause injury in case of an acci-
dent.
• Never use the same seat belt for
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
