w WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips
in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions.
Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres on
the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the Tyre Information
Label located on the driver’s door pillar.
Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to raise
(jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteristics.
Oversized tyres may also rub against
the fender over bumps, causing
vehicle damage or tire failure.
After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brakes while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.
