ded to be replaced when the remaining
tread has worn to this point. The
indicators are spaced across the tread

machine. In case of manual mounting-
tyre/wheel rim damage may occur.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tyre bead and wheel r im.
Tubeless tyres are having advantage of
slow air loss and preventing sudden
deflation while driving.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tyres
1. Always maintain recommended
inflation pressure. Driving continously
at low inflation pressure can lead to
tyre damage.
2. In case any leakage is found, check
for any nail penetration/valve core
damage or rim bent. Damaged wheel
must not be used.
3. In case tyre has run at low pressue, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the
valve.
5. If continous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation
pressure.
Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten
them to the specified torque as soon
as possible after changing wheels.
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts may come loose
or fall off, which can result in an
accident. If you do not have a torque
wrench, have the wheel nut torque
checked by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
