appear to be at the specified pressure
when checked after driving, when the tires
are warm, could have pressure below the
specification when the tires cool down.
Also, tires that are inflated to the specified
pressure in a warm garage may have pres-
sure below the specification when the vehi-
cle is driven outside in very
temperature. If you adjust the tire pressure
in a garage that is warmer than the outside
temperature, you should add 1 kPa to the
recommended cold tire inflation pressure
for every 0.8°C difference between garage
temperature and outside temperature.
Tire Inspection
Inspect your vehicle's tires at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-
sary. Remember to check the spare
cold
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 underinflate or overinflate
the tires.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tire or rim.
Overinflation can cause the tire to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Overinflation can also
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
EXAMPLE
(1) Tread wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
2) Check that the depth of the tread
groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).
To help you check this, the tires have
molded-in 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 tire should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
cause
damage. Any tires with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any tires
show abnormal wear,
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
