Steering - Suzuki Maruti Manual

83K
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle's brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor wall distance as mea-
sured above is less than the minimum dis-
tance required, have your vehicle inspec-ted
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
wall in your measurement.
