Brake discs and brake drums
Brake disc
Brake location Minimum thickness
Front wheels 8.0 mm (0.3 in.)
Brake drum
Brake location Maximum inner diameter
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
