INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
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 tyre
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.

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
mouldedin 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 autho-
rised workshop.
WARNING
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tyres and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tyres and
wheel alignment checked periodi-
cally by your Maruti Suzuki autho-
rised workshop.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones,
or other objects sticking into the tyres.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Replacing the wheels and tyres
equipped on your vehicle with certain
combinations of aftermarket wheels
and tyres can significantly change
the steering and handling character-
istics of your vehicle. Therefore, use
only those wheel and tyre combina-
tions approved by MARUTI SUZUKI
as standard or optional equipment
for your vehicle.
