If you must use snow chains to increase tyre
traction, observe the following precautions:
Use cable type chains.
Choose a safe place away from traffic
to install the chains.
When installing the chains carefully
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the chains on the front tyres.
With the chains on, drive only at slow
and moderate speeds.
If the chain hits the vehicle body while
driving, stop at a safe place and
retighten it as soon as possible.
If snow and/or ice on the road
disappear, remove the chains as soon
as possible.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud,
or sand, follow the directions below:
1) Change back and forth between a
forward range (or first gear for manual
transmission) and reverse. This will
create a rocking motion which may give
you enough momentum to free the
vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator
to keep wheel spin to a minimum.
Remove your foot from the accelerator
while changing gear.
Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel
spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper,
making it more difficult to free the
vehicle.2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, get another vehicle
to pull you out.
Do not allow anyone to stand near the
vehicle when you are rocking it, and
do not spin the wheels faster than an
indicated 40 km/h on the speedometer.
Personal injury and/or vehicle damage
may result from spinning the wheels
too fast.
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes.
Prolonged rocking can cause engine
overheating or transmission damage. 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 “SPECI-
FICATIONS” section.
Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to
raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteristics.
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 MAINTENANCE9-252) 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 moulded-
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 should be replaced. If any tyres
show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.
76G-09-031
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.
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 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 certain
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
approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as
standard or optional equipment for
your vehicle.
Replacing the original tyres with tyres
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
