Brake Pedal Maintenance; Parking Brake - MARUTI SUZUKI S-Cross Owner's Manual

Brake pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the regu-
lar height without spongy feeling when you
depress it. If not, have the brake system
inspected by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop. If you doubt the brake
pedal for the regular height, check it as fol-
lows:
EXAMPLE
"a" "a"
Pedal to floor carpet minimum dis-
tance "a": 59 mm (2.3 in.)
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 carpet distance as
measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle
inspected by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.
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.

immediately by your
Maruti Suzuki workshop.

ing uniformly on all wheels.)
• Excessive pedal travel

Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment by counting the number of clicks
made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly
pull up on the parking brake lever to the
point of full engagement. The parking
authorised
brake lever should stop between the speci-
fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking
