(to the specified torque) in a crisscross
fashion with a wrench as shown in the
illustration.Snow TiresYour vehicle is equipped with all-season
tires which are designed for use in summer
and most winter conditions. For improved
traction in severe winter conditions,
SUZUKI recommends mounting radial
snow tires on all four wheels. Snow tires
must be the same size as the standard
tires. Also be sure to use the tires of the
same type and brand on all four wheels of
your vehicle.
CAUTION
For All-wheel drive (AWD) models,
driving with an underinflated com-
pact spare tire or over 80 km/h (50
mph) while using a compact spare
tire can result in damage to the drive
train.
