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

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 tyres 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 tyre should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
also cause
damage. Any tyres with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any
tyres show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.

CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tyres and affect wheel
alignment. Have tyres and wheel
alignment checked periodically by
your SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticking into the tyres.
WARNING
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped
with tyres which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix
tyres of different size or type on the
four wheels of your vehicle. The
size and type of tyres used should
be only those approved by SUZUKI
as standard or optional equipment
for your vehicle.
• Replacing the wheels and tyres
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tyres can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel
and tyre combinations approved by
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
