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.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Tire inspection

EXAMPLE

Inspect your vehicle’s tires at least once a

month or before long trip by performing the

following checks:

Hitting curbs and running over rocks

can damage tires and affect wheel

alignment. Have tires and wheel

alignment checked periodically by an

authorized SUZUKI dealer.

1) Measure the air pressure with a tire

gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-

sary.

4) Check for loose wheel nuts.

5) Check that there are no nails, stones or

other objects sticking into the tires.

WARNING

• Air pressures should be checked

when the tires are cold or you may

get inaccurate readings.

• Check the inflation pressure from

time to time while inflating the tire

gradually, until the specified pres-

sure is obtained.

• Never under-inflate or over-inflate

the tires.

Under-inflation can cause unusual

handling characteristics or can

cause the rim to slip on the tire

bead, resulting in an accident or

damage to the tire or rim.

WARNING

54G136

• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped

with tires which are all the same

type and size. This is important to

ensure proper steering and han-

dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires

of different size or type on the four

wheels of your vehicle. The size

and type of tires used should be

only those approved by SUZUKI as

standard or optional equipment for

your vehicle.

• Replacing the wheels and tires

equipped on your vehicle with cer-

tain combinations of aftermarket

wheels and tires can significantly

change the steering and handling

characteristics of your vehicle.

(1) Tread wear indicator

(2) Indicator location mark

2) Check that the depth of the tread

groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).

To help you check this, the tires have

molded-in tread wear indicators in the

grooves. When the indicators appear

on the tread surface, the remaining

depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)

or less and the tire should be replaced.

3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and

damage. Any tires with cracks or other

damage should be replaced. If any tires

show abnormal wear, have them

inspected by an authorized SUZUKI

dealer.

Over-inflation can cause the tire to

burst, resulting in personal injury.

Over-inflation can also cause

unusual handling characteristics

which may result in an accident.

• Therefore, use only those wheel

and tire combinations approved by

SUZUKI as standard or optional

equipment for your vehicle.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Tire rotation

4-tire rotation

Battery

NOTICE

Replacing the original tires with tires

of a different size may result in false

speedometer or odometer readings.

Check with an authorized SUZUKI

dealer before purchasing replace-

ment tires that differ in size from the

original tires.

WARNING

produce

• Batteries

flammable

hydrogen gas. Keep flames and

sparks away from the battery or an

explosion may occur. Never smoke

when working near the battery.

• When checking or servicing the

battery, disconnect the negative

cable. Be careful not to cause a

short circuit by allowing metal

objects to contact the battery posts

and the vehicle at the same time.

• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-

age to your vehicle or battery, fol-

low the jump-starting instructions

in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-

tion if it is necessary to jump-start

your vehicle.

54G114

To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to

prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-

trated. Tires should be rotated every 10000

km (6000 miles). After rotation, adjust front

and rear tire pressures to the specification

listed in your vehicle’s tire information

label.

• Diluted sulfuric acid spilled from

battery can cause blindness or

severe burns. Use proper eye pro-

tection and gloves. Flush eyes or

body with ample water and get

medical care immediately if suf-

fered. Keep batteries out of reach

of children.
