75RM4-01E
NOTE:
• The fluid level can be expected to gradu-ally 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 brake system mal-
function.
Replace your brake fluid in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in your
Owner’s Manual.Brake pedalCheck brake pedal stroke. If the stroke is
so large, have the brake system inspected
by your SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt the
brake pedal is at its normal height, check it
as follows:
54G108
Minimum distance between brake pedal
and floor carpet “a”: 73 mm (2.9 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance 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 self-
adjusting, 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 your 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
wall in your measurement.

cal attention. Wash thoroughly after

Tire rotation4-tire rotation
54G114
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated as recom-
mended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tire pressures to the specification
listed on your vehicle’s Tire Information
Label.
For TaiwanAir bag symbol meaning
61MS503
You may find this label on the sun visor.Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
Your vehicle is equipped with the front pas-
senger’s air bag deactivation system. The
front passenger’s front air bag must be
deactivated if a child restraint system is to
be installed on the fr
ont passenger’s seat.
WA R N I N G
Infants and children who require
child restraint systems should not be
seated in the front passenger’s seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it.
• Never use a rearward facing child
restraint system for the front pas-
senger’s seat.
• If it is necessary to use a forward facing child restraint system for the
front passenger’s seat, deactivate
the front passenger’s front air bag
in advance.
Otherwise, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
