Brake location
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
The front and rear tire pressure specifica-
tions are listed in the tire information label.
Both front and rear tires should have the
specified tire pressure.
Rear wheels
(if equipped)
181 mm (7.13 in.)
Check the free play of the steering wheel
by gently turning it from left to right and
measuring the distance that it moves
before you feel slight resistance. The play
should be between the specified values.
If the measured thickness or inner diame-
ter of the most worn part falls below or
exceeds the value indicated above, the
parts should be replaced with a new one.
The measurement involves disassembling
each brake and requires the use of a
micrometer or caliper, which must be done
according to the instructions described in
the relevant service manual or available
from the relevant repair information site.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily
and smoothly without rattling by turning it
all the way to the right and to the left while
driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is not as specified or
you find anything else to be wrong, an
inspection must be performed by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
