Brake discs and brake drums
Brake disc
Brake location Minimum thickness
Front wheels 8.0 mm (0.3 in.)
Brake drum
Brake location Maximum inner diameter
Rear wheels 222 mm (8.74 in.)
If the measured thickness or inner diame­ter of the most worn part falls below or exceeds the value indicated above, the parts should be replaced with a new one. The measurement involves disassembling each brake and requires the use of a micrometer or caliper, which must be done according to the instructions described in the relevant service manual or available from the relevant repair information site.
Steering wheel
78RB07012
Steering wheel play 11c": 0-30 mm (0.0 -1.2 in.)
Check the free play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and measuring the distance that it moves before you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily and smoothly without rattling by turning it all the way to the right and to the left while driving very slowly in an open area. If the amount of free play is not as specified or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by a SUZUKI dealer.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Tyres
78RB07013
The front and rear tyre pressure specifica­tions are listed in the tyre information label. Both front and rear tyres should have the specified tyre pressure.
NOTE: The tyre pressure will change due to changes in atmospheric pressure, tem­perature or tyre temperature when driving. To reduce the chance that the low tyre pressure warning light (if equipped) will come on due to normal changes in tem­perature and atmospheric pressure, it is important to check and adjust the tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. If you check tyres after driving, they are warm. Even if the tyre pressure seems to be good in this condition, it could fall below the
6-36

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
specified pressure when tyres cool down. Also, tyres that are inflated to the specified pressure in a warm garage may have pres­sure below the specification when the vehi­cle is driven outside in very cold temperature. If you adjust the tyre pres­sure in a garage that is warmer than the outside temperature, you should add 1 kPa to the recommended cold tyre pressure for every O.B'C difference between garage temperature and outside temperature.
6-37
Tyre inspection
Inspect your vehicle's tyres at least once a month or before long trip by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces­sary. Remember to check the spare tyre, too.
A 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 pres­sure is obtained. Never under-inflate or over-inflate the tyres. Under-inflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tyre bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tyre or rim. Over-inflation can cause the lyre to burst, resulting in personal injury. Over-inflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident.

(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 should be replaced. If any tyres show abnormal wear, have them inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

A CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks can damage tyres and affect wheel alignment. Have tyres and wheel alignment checked periodically by a SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones or other objects sticking into the tyres.
A WARNING
• Your SUZUKI vehicle 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 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 SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings. Check with a SUZUKI dealer before purchasing replace­ment tyres that differ in size from the original tyres. Replacing a tyre with one of a dif­ferent size, or using different brands among the four tyres can result in damage to the drive train.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

L: Left hand drive R: Right hand drive
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre pressure monitoring system, the spare tyre TPMS sensor must be recognized when you include the spare tyre during a tyre rotation. For details, refer to "Replacing Tyres and/or Wheels" in "Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)" in the "OPER­ATING YOUR VEHICLE" section.

INS.PECTION AND MAINTENANCE
4-tyre rotation
65D459
To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illus­trated. Tyres should be rotated every 10000 km (6000 miles). After rotation, adjust front and rear tyre pressures to the specification listed on your vehicle's Tyre Information Label.

Changing Wheels
78RB07014
To change a wheel, use the following pro­cedure:
1) Remove the jack, tools and spare wheel from the vehicle.
NOTE: How to remove the spare wheel:
78RB07052
1. Remove the center nut (1 ), then remove the spare wheel half cover (2) (if equipped). 2. Remove the wheel nuts of the spare wheel, then remove the spare wheel with both hands.
2) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel nuts. 3) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking instructions in the "EMERGENCY SER­VICE" section in this manual) 4) Remove the wheel nuts and wheel. 5) Before installing the new wheel, clean any mud or dirt off from the surface of the wheel and hub with a clean cloth. Clean the hub carefully; it may be hot from driving.
