A CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks can damage tyres and affect wheel alignment. Have tyres and wheel alignment checked periodically by a SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones or other objects sticking into the tyres.
A WARNING
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with tyres which are all the same type and size. This is important to ensure proper steering and handling of the vehicle. Never mix tyres of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tyres used should be only those approved by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. Replacing the wheels and tyres equipped on your vehicle with certain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tyres can significantly change the steering and handling characteristics of your vehicle. Therefore, use only those wheel and tyre combinations approved by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings. Check with a SUZUKI dealer before purchasing replacement tyres that differ in size from the original tyres. Replacing a tyre with one of a different size, or using different brands among the four tyres can result in damage to the drive train.
