• Metallic screeching sound is heard
to use
Via engine vacuum pressure, the vehi-
cle utilizes a brake booster to reduce
the force necessary for depressing the
brake pedal. If this engine vacuum
pressure decreases, you may feel as if
the brakes require more force than
usual to depress, but this is not abnor-

from the brakes
Promptly consult with a Maruti Suzuki
authorised workshop. The disk brake
pads (Maruti Suzuki genuine parts) are
designed to emit a creaking/screeching
sound as a function to warn the wear, as
they have almost reached usage limit
and replacement timing.
WARNING
The brakes could be losing their
ability to function normally, which
could result in an accident.
If you hear a metallic creaking/
screeching sound, do not continue
driving.
