Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if
swallowed, and harmful if it comes
in contact with skin or eyes. If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Immediately contact a poison control
centre or a physician. If brake fluid
gets in eyes, flush eyes with water
and seek medical attention. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Solution
can be poisonous to animals. Keep
out of the reach of children and
animals.
NOTE:
With disc brakes, the fluid level can be
expected to gradually fall as the brake
pads wear.
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:

Pedal to wall minimum distance “a”:
85 mm (3.3 in.)
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 as
specified. Since your vehicle’s brake
system is selfadjusting, 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.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
wall in your measurement.
