been stored in old
containers. It is essential that
foreign particles and other liquids
are kept out of the brake fluid
reservoir.

The brake fluid should be replaced
every two years or 20,000 km.

Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the
regular height without "spongy" feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake
system inspected by your MARUTI dealer.
If you doubt the brake pedal for the regular
height, check it as follows:
With the engine running, measure the
distance between the brake pedal and floor
silencer mat when the pedal is depressed
with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force.
The minimum distance required is 125 mm
(4.9 in). Since your vehicle's brake system
is self-adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall
distance as measured above is less than
the minimum distance required, have your
vehicle inspected by your MARUTI dealer.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include any floor covering other than
silencer mat in the measurement.
w w w w w WARNING
If you experience any of the following
problems with your vehicle's brake
system, have the vehicle inspected
immediately by your MARUTI dealer.
