78RB07011
Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fiuid level is between "MAX" and "MIN" lines.
NOTICE
If your brake fluid level is near the 11MIN" line, there is a possibility of brake pad and/or shoe wear and brake fluid leakage. Consult with a SUZUKI dealer regarding this possibility before filling the reservoir.

NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brend brake fluid. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.
A WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or serious damage to the brake system. . If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the brake warning light on the instrument cluster will come on (the engine must be running with the parking brake fully dise~gaged). Should the light come on, 1mmed1-ately ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. A rapid fluid loss indicates leakage in the brake system which should be inspected by a SUZUKI dealer immediately. Do not use any fluid other than DOT3 or SAE J1703 brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir.
A CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. Be careful when refilling the reservoir.
A WARNING
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swallowed, and harmful if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or a physician. If brake fluid gets in eye~, flush eyes with water and seek medical attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
NOTE: • The fluid /eve/ can be expected to gredually fall as the brake pad and/or shoe wear. Brake fluid absorbs water over time and brake fluid with high water content may cause vapor lock or breke system malfunction. Replace your breke fluid in accordance with the maintenance schedule m your Owner's Manual.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Brake pedal
Check brake pedal stroke. If the stroke is so large, have the brake system inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt th_e brake pedal is at its normal height, check 1t as follows:

Rear wheels 222 mm (8.74 in.)
If the measured thickness or inner diameter of the most worn part falls below or exceeds the value indicated above, the parts should be replaced with a new one. The measurement 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 relevant repair information site.
Steering wheel
78RB07012
Steering wheel play 11c": 0-30 mm (0.0 -1.2 in.)
Check the free play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and measuring 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 not as specified or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by a SUZUKI dealer.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Tyres
78RB07013
The front and rear tyre pressure specifications are listed in the tyre information label. Both front and rear tyres should have the specified tyre pressure.
NOTE: The tyre pressure will change due to changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature or tyre temperature when driving. To reduce the chance that the low tyre pressure warning light (if equipped) will come on due to normal changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is important to check and adjust the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. If you check tyres after driving, they are warm. Even if the tyre pressure seems to be good in this condition, it could fall below the

Tightening torque for wheel nut: 100 Nm (10.0 kg-m, 72.3 lb-ft)
7) Lower the jack and fully tighten the nuts in a crisscross fashion with a wrench as shown in the illustration.
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.
