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 cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.
EXAMPLE
(1)
(2)
(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
damage. Any tires with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any tires
show abnormal wear, have
inspected by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tires and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tires and
wheel alignment checked periodi-
cally by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.
4) Check for loose wheel bolts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticking into the tires.
WARNING
54G136
• Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped with
tires which are all the same type and
size. This is important to ensure
proper steering and handling 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
equipped on your vehicle with certain
combinations of aftermarket wheels
and tires can significantly change the
them
steering and handling characteristics
of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel and
tire combinations approved
MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehicle.
