INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped
with tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires
of different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size
and type of tires used should be
only those approved by MARUTI
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
• Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tires can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehi-
cle.
CAUTION
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.

Tyre Rotation
60G-09-019E
To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to
prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illus-
trated. Tyres should be rotated as men-
tioned in periodic maintenance schedule.
After rotation, adjust front and rear tyre
pressures to the specification listed on
your vehicle's Tyre Inflation Pressure
Label.
Wheel Balancing
If the vehicle vibrates abnormally on
smooth road, have the wheel balanced at
Maruti Suzuki authorised workshop.
Wheel Alignment
In case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop.

Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tyre bead and wheel rim. Tube-
less tyres are having advantage of slow air
loss and preventing sudden deflation while
driving.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tyres
1) Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continuously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre dam-
age.
2) In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core dam-
age or rim bent. Damaged wheel must
not be used.
3) In case tyre has run at low pressure, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4) Whenever new tyre is fitted, replace the
valve.
5) If continuous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pres-
sure.
6) Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recommen-
ded to be replaced when the remaining
tread has worn to this point. The indica-
tors are spaced across the tread
