INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

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 dealer.

4) Check for loose wheel nuts.

5) Check that there are no nails, stones, or

other objects sticking into the tyres.

Your MARUTI 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 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 as standard or

optional equipment for your vehicle.

CAUTION

Replacing the original tyres with tyres

of a different size may result in false

speedometer or odometer readings.

prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illustrated.

Tyres should be rotated every 5,000 km as

recommended in the periodic maintenance

schedule. After rotation, adjust front and rear

tyre pressures to the specification listed on

your vehicle's Tyre Inflation Pressure Label.
