NOTE:
• The fluid level can be expected to gradu-
ally fall as the brake pad and/or shoe
wear.
• Brake fluid absorbs water over time and
brake fluid with high water content may
cause vapor lock or brake system mal-
function. Replace your brake fluid in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in your Owner’s Manual.
Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the regu-
lar height without “spongy” feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake sys-
tem inspected by your Maruti Suzuki
authorised workshop. If you doubt the
brake pedal for the regular height, check it
as follows:
54G108
Minimum distance between brake pedal
and floor carpet “a”: 53 mm (2.1 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet 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 self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor carpet distance as
measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle
inspected by your Maruti Suzuki autho-
rised workshop.
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.
