INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
9-18
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor wall distance as mea-
sured above is less than the minimum dis-
tance required, have your vehicle inspec-ted
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
wall in your measurement.

w WARNING
If you experience any of the following
problems with your vehicle’s brake
system, have the vehicle inspected
immediately by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.
Poor braking performance
Uneven braking (Brakes not working
uniformly on all wheels.)
Excessive pedal travel
Brake dragging
Excessive noise
83K-07-034
EXAMPLE
Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment by counting the number of clicks made
by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up
on the parking brake lever to the point of
full engagement. The parking brake lever
should stop between the specified ratchet
teeth and the rear wheels should be
securely locked. If the parking brake is not
properly adjusted or the brakes drag after
the lever has been fully released, have the
parking brake inspected and/or adjusted by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Steering
EXAMPLE
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before you
feel slight resistance. The play should be
between the specified values.
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

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
9-19driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is outside the specifi-
cation or you find anything else to be
wrong, an inspection must be performed by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.TyresThe front and rear tyre pressure specifica-
tions for your vehicle are listed on the Tyre
Information Label. Both the front and rear
tyres should have the specified tyre pres-
sure.
83K-07-036
w ww w
w WARNING
Air pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tyre
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
Never underinflate or overinflate the
tyres.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tyre or rim.
Overinflation can cause the tyre to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Overinflation can also cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.

EXAMPLE
Tyre Inspection
Inspect your vehicle’s tyres at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary.
Remember to check the spare tyre, too.(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 tyres 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 tyre
should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
damage. Any tyres with cracks or other
damage s hould be replaced. If any tyres
show abnormal wear, have them inspected
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tyres and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tyres and
wheel alignment checked periodically
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
w ww w
w WARNING
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticking into the tyres.
w ww w
w WARNING
Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped
with tyres which are all the same
type and size. This is important to

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

ensure proper steering and handling
of the vehicle. Never mix tyres of
different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size and
type of tyres used should be only
those approved by MARUTI SUZUKI
as standard or optional equipment
for your vehicle.
Replacing the wheels and tyres
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tyres can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Therefore, use only those wheel and
tyre combinations which are
approved by MARUTI SUZUKI for
your vehicle.
w ww w
w WARNINGCAUTION
Replacing the original tyres with tyres
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer before purchasing replacement
tyres that differ in size from the
original tyres.V VV V

Tire RotationTo avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to
prolong their life, rotate the tyres as
illustrated. Tyres should be rotated as rec-
ommended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tyre pressures to the specification listed
on your vehicle’s Tyre Information Label.Wheel BalancingIf the vehicle vibrates abnormally on smooth
road, have the wheels balanced at Maruti
Suzuki authorized workshop.Wheel AlignmentIn case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at Maruti Suzuki authorized workshop.
Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless Tyres.
In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl rubber
83K-07-038
is used for lining the inside of the tubeless
tyre. This layer is to prevent air loss and
fulfilling the purpose of tube. The air pressure
is maintained by the sealing between tyre
bead and wheel rim. Tubeless tyres are
having advantage of slow air loss and
preventing sudden deflation while driving.Care and maintenance tips for tube-
less tyres1. Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre damage.
2. In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core damage
or rim bent. Damaged wheel must not
be used.
3. In case tyre has run at low pressue, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the
valve.
5. If continous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pressure.
6. Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recommen-ded
to be replaced when the remaining tread
has worn to this point. The indicators are
spaced across the tread around the tyre
marked by a triagular symbol (TWI).
7. Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting
machine. In case of manual mounting-
tyre/wheel rim damage may occur.

The level of the battery solution must be
kept above the line between MAX and MIN.
If the level is found to be below the line,
add distilled water to bring level above line.
You should periodically check the battery,
battery terminals, and battery hold down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.If your vehicle is not going to be
driven for a month or longer, disconnect the
cable from the negative terminal of the
battery to help prevent discharge.

Bulb Replacement Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after being
turned off. This is true especially for
halogen headlight bulbs. Replace the
bulbs after they become cool
enough.
The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit
or dropped. Handle them carefully.
w ww w
w WARNING
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.

w WARNING
Do not use “antifreeze” solution in the
windshield washer reservoir. This can
severely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windshield, and can also
damage your vehicle’s paint.
CAUTION
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.Air Conditioning SystemIf you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine idling.
This circulates the refrigerant and oil and
helps protect the internal components. Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.
Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality
windshield washer fluid, diluted with water
as necessary.
