INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Steering
EXAMPLE
68LM708
Steering wheel play "c":
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and right
to left, with wheels in straight ahead posi-
tion and engine in OFF condition. Measure
the distance that the steering 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 an autho-
rised Maruti Suzuki workshop.

Tire Inspection
Inspect your vehicle's tires at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the tire pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-
sary. Remember to check the spare
tire, too.
WARNING
• Air pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
• Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
• Never under-inflate or over-inflate
the tires.
Under inflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
