Parking brake
54G109
Ratchet tooth specification “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 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 park ing brake inspected
and/or adjusted by your SUZUKI dealer.
Brake discs and brake drumsBrake disc

If the measured thickness or inner diame-
ter of the most worn part exceeds the
value indicated above, the parts should be
replaced with a new one. The measure-
ment involves disassembling each brake
and requires the use of a micrometer or
caliper, which must be done according to
the instructions described in the relevant
service manual or available from the rele-
vant repair information site.
Steering
75RM035
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 r attling 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 not as specified or
you find anything else to be wrong, an
inspection must be performed by your
SUZUKI dealer.
EXAMPLE
Brake location Minimum thickness
Front wheels 18.0 mm (0.71 in.)

(1) Tread wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).
To help you check this, the tires have
molded-in tread wear indicators in the
grooves. When the indicators appear
on the tread surface, the remaining
depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
or less and the tire should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tires with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any tires
show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer. 4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticki ng into the tires.

EXAMPLE
CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tires and affect wheel
alignment. Have tires and wheel
alignment checked periodically by
your SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped
with tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires
of different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size
and type of tires used should be
only those approved by SUZUKI as
standard or optional equipment for
your 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 handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your SUZUKI dealer
before purchasing replacement tires
that differ in size from the original
tires.
NOTICE
For 4WD models, replacing a tire with
one of a different size, or using differ-
ent brands among the four tires can
result in damage to the drive train.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
2-wheel drive (2WD) CVTCVT vehicles may be towed using either of
the following methods.
1) From the front, with the front wheelslifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, make sure that
the parking brak e is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and a dolly under the front wheels.
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 wheelslifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, check that the
parking brake is released.
2) From the rear, with the rear wheels
lifted and the front wheels on the
ground, provided the steering and
drivetrain are in operational condition.
Before towing, check that transaxle is in
neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked
(vehicle without keyl ess push start sys-
tem - the ignition key should be in
“ACC” position) (vehicle with keyless
push start system - the ignition mode is
ACC), and the steering wheel is
secured with a clamping device
designed for towing service.
4-wheel drive (4WD)Your vehicle should be towed under one of
the following conditions:
1) With all four wheels on a flat-bed truck.
2) With the front or rear wheels lifted and a dolly under the other wheels.
NOTICE
Towing your vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground can result in
damage to the CVT.
NOTICE
The steering column is not strong
enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the fr ont wheels during
towing. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever to the “N” position,
always check the gear position indi-
cator 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 or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
ON, and move the Auto Gear Shift
gearshift lever from “N” to “D”, “M”
or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then
turn the key from the “ON” to the
“LOCK” position or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
LOCK (OFF). These procedures may
help put the transaxle in neutral. If
the transaxle still cannot be put in
neutral, you cannot tow the vehicle
without using a towing dolly.
