INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
With the engine running, measure the distance between the brake pedal and floor carpet when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified. Since your vehicle's brake system is selfadjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor carpet distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: • When measuring the distance between the brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to include the floor mat or rubber on the floor carpet in your measurement. Measure the distance at the brake pedal's side facing toward the passenger's door.

Ratchet tooth specification 11b": 4th-9th Lever pull force (1 ): 200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs)
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 is suspected even after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspected and/or adjusted by a SUZUKI dealer.

Jacking instructions
75F062
1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground. 2) Set the parking brake firmly and shift into "P" (Park) if your vehicle has an automatic transmission, or shift int6 "R" (Reverse) if your vehicle has a manual transmission.
A WARNING
Shift into "P" (Park) for an automatic transmission, or into "R" (Reverse) for a manual transmission vehicle when you jack up the vehicle. • Never jack up the vehicle with the transmission in 11N" (Neutral). Otherwise, unstable jack may cause an accident.
3) Turn on the hazard warning switch if your vehicle is near traffic. 4) Block the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the wheel being lifted. 5) Place the spare wheel near the wheel being lifted as shown in the illustration in case that the jack is slipped.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
A. WARNING
Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten them to the specified torque as soon as possible after changing wheels. Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts may come loose or fall off, which can result in an accident. If you do not have a torque wrench, have the wheel nut torque checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

Jump-starting instructions
A. WARNING
Never attempt to jump-start your vehicle if the lead-acid battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode. When making jump lead connections, check that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts or fans. Lead-acid batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working near the battery. If the booster battery you use for jump-starting is installed in another vehicle, check that the two vehicles are not touching each other. If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow the jump-starting instructions below. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by pushing or towing. This starting method could result in permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Use jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak or flat battery.
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to jump-start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to your vehicle so that the jump leads will reach both batteries. When using a battery installed on another vehicle, check that two vehicles do not touch each other. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).
