Wheels and Tires
General Description
Tires DescriptionS6RW0D2401001
The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to
operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation
pressures.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an
important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp
braking increase tire wear.
Tire Placard
The “Tire Placard” is located on the left or right door lock
pillar and should be referred to tire information.
The placard lists the maximum load, tire size and cold
tire pressure where applicable.
NOTE
Whether rim size and/or maximum load are
listed or not depends on regulations of each
country.

Inflation of Tires
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully
calculated to give a satisfactory ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for 3
hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should be
checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the
specifications on the “Tire Placard” located on the left or
right door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure to increase when the tires
become hot during driving.
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving.
Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure”.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride
• Tire bruising or carcass damage
• Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking
• Steering lead
• Reduced handling
• Swerve on accelerationLower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns
• Hard Steering
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
• Tire rim bruises and rupture
• Tire cord breakage
• High tire temperature
• Reduced handling
• High fuel consumption
Matched Tires and Wheels (Steel Type)
Tires and wheels are match mounted at the assembly
plant.
This means that the radially stiffest part of the tire, or
“high spot”, is matched to the smallest radius or “low
spot” of the wheel.
This is done to provide the smoothest possible ride.
The “high spot” of the tire is originally marked by paint
dot (1) on the outboard sidewall. This paint dot will
eventually wash off the tire.
The “low spot” of the wheel is originally marked by paint
dot (2) on the wheel rim-flange. Properly assembled, the
wheel rims’ paint dot should be aligned with the tires’
paint dot as shown in figure.
Whenever a tire is dismounted from its wheel, it should
be remounted so that the tire and wheel are matched. If
the tire’s paint dot cannot be located, a line should be
scribed on the tire and wheel before dismounting to
assure that it is remounted in the same position.

Precautions
Precaution for Rear Differential Oil LeakageS6RW0D3200001
Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage.
Precautions in Diagnosing TroubleS6RW0D3200002
• Do not disconnect the following parts before confirming diagnostic information (DTC, etc.) stored in 4WD control
module memory. These actions will erase memorized information in 4WD control module memory.
– Disconnection of coupler from 4WD control module
– Disconnection of battery cable from battery
– Disconnection of ground wire harness of 4WD control module
– Disconnect main fuse from fuse box
• Diagnostic information stored in 4WD control module memory can be cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI
scan tool. Before using scan tool, read its Operator’s (Instruction) Manual carefully to have good understanding as
to what functions are available and how to use it.
• Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service:” before inspection and observe what is written there.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Differential: 3B-10
Step 2. DTC check, record and clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending
DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and then
clear malfunction DTC(s) by referring to “DTC
Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates malfunction in
the system but it is not possible to know from it whether
the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred in the
past and normal condition has been restored. In order to
know that, check symptom in question according to Step
5 and then recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only
or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an
faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or
difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise
unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the 4WD control
system referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble symptom confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained
in “Step 1. Customer complaint analysis: ” and “Step 2.
DTC check, record and clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation
Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and record of DTC
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8. 4WD control symptom diagnosis
Check the parts of the system suspected as a possible
cause referring to “4WD Control Symptom Diagnosis”.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to
“applicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector,
coupling assembly, 4WD control module or other part
and repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10. Check for intermittent problem
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g. wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11. Final confirmation test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the
vehicle is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear
the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction
DTC is indicated.4WD Position Indicator Operation CheckS6RW0D3204002
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Check that 4WD position indicators turn on for about
2 seconds and then turns off.
If any faulty condition is found, proceed to “4WD
