INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CLUTCH PEDAL
Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and
measuring the distance it moves until you
feel slight resistance. The play in the clutch
pedal should be between 15 – 20 mm (0.6
– 0.8 in) If the play is more or less than
the above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

TYRESThe front and rear tyre pressure
specifications for your vehicle are listed on
the Tyre Inflation Pressure Label and in the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section at the end of
this book. Both the front and rear tyres
should have the specified tyre pressure.
Tyre Inspection
Inspect your vehicle’s tyres periodically by
performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre
gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary.
Remember to check the spare tyre too.
76G-09-030
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
pressure is obtained.
Never underinflate or overinflate the
tyres.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tyre
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.
