EXAMPLE
Ratchet tooth specification "b": 5th -7th Lever pull force (1): 200 N (20 kg, 44 Ibs)

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 speci
fied 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 SUZUKI dealer.

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 driving 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 SUZUKI dealer.
