Parking Brake
54G109
Ratchet tooth speci fication “b”: 4th – 9th Lever pull force (1): 200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper adjust- ment by counting the number of clicksmade by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the parking brake lever to the point of full engagement. The parkingbrake lever should stop between the speci- fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels should be securely locked. If the parkingbrake is not properly adjusted or the brakes drag after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspectedand/or adjusted by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Steering
68LM708
Steering wheel play “c”: 0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
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 itall 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 MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

• This is important to ensure propersteering and handling of the vehi-cle. Never mix tires of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tiresused should be only those approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment foryour vehicle. • Replacing the wheels and tires equipped on your vehicle with cer-tain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tires can significantly change the steering and handlingcharacteristics of your vehicle. • Therefore, use only those wheel and tire combinations approved byMARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehi- cle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings.

3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery (1). 2. Connect the other end to the positive(+) terminal of the booster battery (2). 3. Connect one end of the second jumplead to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery (2). 4. Make the final connection to anunpainted, heavy metal part (i.e. engine mount bracket (3)) of the engine of the vehicle with the flatbattery (1).
4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the
engine of the vehicle with the booster battery. Run the engine at moderate speed.5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery. 6) Remove the jump leads in the exactreverse order in which you connected them.
Towing
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional service. Your dealercan provide you with detailed towing instructions.
2-Wheel Drive (2WD) Manual Tran- saxle or Auto Gear ShiftManual transaxle vehicles or Auto Gear Shift vehicles may be towed using either of the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels on the ground. Before towing, make sure thatthe parking brake is released. 2) From the rear, with the rear wheels lifted and the front wheels on theground, provided the steering and drivetrain are in operational condition. Before towing, make sure that transaxleis in neutral, the steering wheel is
unlocked (the ignition key should be in the “ACC” position), and the steering wheel is secured with a clampingdevice designed for towing service.
WA R N I N G
Never connect the jump lead directlyto the negative (–) terminal of the dis- charged battery, or an explosion may occur.
CAUTION
Connect the jump le ad to the engine mount bracket securely. If the jump lead disconnects from the engine mount bracket because of vibrationat the start of the engine, the jump lead could be caught in the drive belts.
NOTICE
To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shiftlever to the “N” position, always check the gear position indicator in the instrument cluster shows the “N”position to make sure that the transaxle is disengaged. If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position, and move the Auto Gear Shift lever from “N” to “D”,“M” or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then turn the key from the “ON” to the “LOCK” position.These procedures may help put the transaxle in neutral. If the transaxle still cannot be put in neutral, you can-not tow the vehicle without using a towing dolly. The steering column is not strongenough to with stand shocks trans- mitted from the fr ont wheels during towing. Always unlock the steeringwheel before towing.
