Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0B-12 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Brake Drums and Shoes
INSPECTION
1) Remove wheel and brake drum.
2) Check rear brake drums and brake linings for excessive wear
and damage, while wheels and drums are removed. At the
same time, check wheel cylinders for leaks. Replace these
parts as necessary.
For details, refer to “Brake Drum” in Section 5.
Brake Hoses and Pipes
INSPECTION
Check brake hoses and pipes for proper hookup, leaks, cracks,
chafing and other damage.
Replace any of these parts as necessary.
Brake Fluid
CHANGE
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill system with
above recommended fluid and carry out air purge operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”
in Section 5.
CAUTION:
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be sure to carry
out air purge operation.
CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-filled with
glycol-base brake fluid, do not use or mix different type
of fluid when refilling system; otherwise serious damage
will occur. Do not use old or used brake fluid, or one
taken from unsealed container.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E first.
All brake fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result
in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

Excessive Pedal Travel Check
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66
Ibs) load, measure brake pedal to wall clearance “d” or “e”.
Clearance “d” or “e” between brake pedal and wall
LH steering vehicle clearance “d” : Over 55 mm (2.17 in.)
RH steering vehicle clearance “e” : Over 76 mm (2.99 in.)
4) If clearance “d” or “e” is less than specification, the most pos-
sible cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond
limit or air is in lines.
Should clearance “d” or “e” remain less than specification
even after replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of sys-
tem, other possible but infrequent cause is malfunction of
rear brake shoe adjusters or booster push rod length out of
adjustment.
–Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake Sys-
tem” in this section.
–Remove brake drums for adjuster inspection. Refer to
“Rear Brake” in this section. If defective, correct or replace.
Front Brake Disc Check
Refer to item “Front Disc Brake” in this section for inspection point
and procedure.
Front Brake Pad Check
Inspect pad linings (3) periodically according to maintenance
schedule whenever wheels are removed (for tire rotation or other
reason). Take a look through each end (or hole) of caliper and
check lining thickness of outside and inside pads. If lining is worn
and its thickness (“a” in figure) is less than limit, all pads must be
replaced at the same time.
Front brake pad thickness “a” (lining thickness)
Limit : 2.0 mm (0.08 in.)
[A]: LH steering vehicle
[B]: RH steering vehicle

2. Disc

On-Vehicle Service
Air Bleeding of Brake System
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever it
entered hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system consists of two separate lines,
one for front wheel brakes and the other for rear wheel brakes. Air
bleeding is necessary at right and left front wheel brakes, left rear
wheel brake and LSPV (if equipped), i.e. 3 (4 for vehicle with
LSPV) places in all.
Be sure to bleed air of brake system according to following proce-
dure when its oil hydraulic circuit has been disconnected.
1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at
least one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.
2) Remove bleeder plug cap (1).
Attach a vinyl tube (2) to bleeder plug, and insert the other
end into container (3).
3) Depress brake pedal several times, and then while holding it
depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one-third to one-half
turn. CAUTION:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should
accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe
fluid from paint and clean painted surface.
