INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Tire Rotation
4-TYRE ROTATION 5-TYRE ROTATION
EXAMPLE
To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to
prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illus-
rated. 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
authorised Maruti Suzuki 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 infla-
54G114
tion pressure. Driving continuously at
low inflation pressure can lead to tyre
damage.
2) In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core damage
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 pressure of tyres by
5 psi over recommended inflation pres-
sure.
6) Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recom-
mended to be replaced when the
remaining tread has worn to this point.
The indicators are spaced across the
tread around the tyre marked by a trian-
gular symbol (TWI).
7) Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting
machine. In case of manual mounting
tyre/ wheel rim damage may occur.
8) In case of any problem, please get in
touch with authorised MARUTI SUZUKI
workshop.
Temporary Spare Tire (if equipped)
Your vehicle comes equipped with the tem-
porary spare tire. It is only intended for
temporary emergency use, until the con-
ventional tire can be repaired or replaced.
The inflation pressure of the temporary
spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. At the same time, check that the
tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.
