of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust gases
under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.

Do not use any fluid other than
MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. Do
not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that
has been stored in old or open
containers. It is essential that
foreign particles and other liquids
are kept out of the brake fluid
reservoir.

expected to gradually fall as the brake pads
wear.

Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the
regular height without "spongy" feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake
system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the
regular height, check it as follows:With the engine running, measure the
distance between the brake pedal and floor
silencer mat when the pedal is depressed
with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force.
The minimum distance required is 110 mm
(4.3 in). Since your vehicle’s brake system
is self-adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall distance
as measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle inspected
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

Check the parking brake for proper
adjustment 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.

STEERINGCheck the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and
measuring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should
be between 0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in).
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
driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is outside the
specification or you find anything else to be
wrong, an inspection must be performed by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

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.
