DO’S AND DON’TS FOR SAFE
DRIVINGExercise care in handling your vehicle. Be
conscious of not only your own safety but
also the safety of others on the road, and
thus enjoy the best and most comfortable
driving experience.

w WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips
in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions.
Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres on
the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the Tyre Information
Label located on the driver’s door pillar.
Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to raise
(jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteristics.
Oversized tyres may also rub against
the fender over bumps, causing
vehicle damage or tire failure.
After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brakes while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
9-19driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is outside the specifi-
cation or you find anything else to be
wrong, an inspection must be performed by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.TyresThe front and rear tyre pressure specifica-
tions for your vehicle are listed on the Tyre
Information Label. Both the front and rear
tyres should have the specified tyre pres-
sure.

w WARNING
Air pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tyre
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
Never underinflate or overinflate the
tyres.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tyre or rim.
Overinflation can cause the tyre to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Overinflation can also cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.

EXAMPLE
Tyre Inspection
Inspect your vehicle’s tyres at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary.
Remember to check the spare tyre, too.(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 tyres 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 tyre
should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
damage. Any tyres with cracks or other
damage s hould be replaced. If any tyres
show abnormal wear, have them inspected
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tyres and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tyres and
wheel alignment checked periodically
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

w WARNING
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticking into the tyres.

Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped
with tyres which are all the same
type and size. This is important to

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
9-20
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 MARUTI SUZUKI
as standard or optional equipment
for your vehicle.
Replacing the wheels and tyres
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain 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 which are
approved by MARUTI SUZUKI for
your vehicle.
w ww w
w WARNINGCAUTION
Replacing the original tyres with tyres
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer before purchasing replacement
tyres that differ in size from the
original tyres.V VV V

Tire RotationTo avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to
prolong their life, rotate the tyres as
illustrated. Tyres should be rotated as rec-
ommended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tyre pressures to the specification listed
on your vehicle’s Tyre Information Label.Wheel BalancingIf the vehicle vibrates abnormally on smooth
road, have the wheels balanced at Maruti
Suzuki authorized workshop.Wheel AlignmentIn case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at Maruti Suzuki authorized workshop.
Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless Tyres.
In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl rubber
83K-07-038
is used for lining the inside of the tubeless
tyre. This layer is to prevent air loss and
fulfilling the purpose of tube. The air pressure
is maintained by the sealing between tyre
bead and wheel rim. Tubeless tyres are
having advantage of slow air loss and
preventing sudden deflation while driving.Care and maintenance tips for tube-
less tyres1. Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre damage.
2. In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core damage
or rim bent. Damaged wheel must not
be used.
3. In case tyre has run at low pressue, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the
valve.
5. If continous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pressure.
6. Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recommen-ded
to be replaced when the remaining tread
has worn to this point. The indicators are
spaced across the tread around the tyre
marked by a triagular symbol (TWI).
7. Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting
machine. In case of manual mounting-
tyre/wheel rim damage may occur.
