SERVICE AND APPEARANCE CARE Service Your SUZUKI dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with it. We hope you'll go to your SUZUKI dealer for all your service needs. You'll get genuine SUZUKI parts and SUZUKI trained and supported service people. We hope you'll want to keep your SUZUKI vehicle all SUZUKI. WARNING You can be injured and your vehicle could be damaged if you try to do service work on a vehicle without knowing enough about it. • Be sure you have sufficient knowledge, experience, the proper replacement parts and tools before you attempt any vehicle maintenance task. • Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and other fasteners. "English" and "metric" fasteners can be easily confused. If you use the wrong fasteners, parts can later break or fall off. You could be hurt. Fuel Use of the recommended fuel is an important part of the proper maintenance of your vehicle. Gasoline Octane Use only unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 87 or higher. In an emergency, you may be able to use a lower octane rating - as low as 85 - if heavy knocking does not occur. Refill your tank with proper fuel as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might damage your engine. If you are using 87 or higher-octane rating fuel and you hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service. Doing Your Own Service Work Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to do your own service work, see "Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle" in section 1. You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and the date of any service work you perform. See "Maintenance Record" in section 6. California Fuel Adding Equipment to the Outside of Your Vehicle Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can affect the airflow around it. This may cause wind noise and affect windshield washer performance. Check with your SUZUKI dealer before adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle. If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards (see the underhood emission control label), it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California specifications. If this fuel is not available in states adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications, but emission control system performance may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp may turn on (see Malfunction Indicator Lamp in section 3) and your vehicle may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your SUZUKI dealer for diagnosis. 5-1
