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 SUZUKI
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
wall when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is 85 mm (3.4 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 SUZUKI dealer.

the brake system which should be
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer immediately.

damage painted surfaces. Use
caution when refilling the reservoir.

MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. Do not

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.
NOTE:
With disc brakes, the fluid level can be
expected to gradually fall as the brake pads
wear.
