• Air pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
• Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tyre
gradually, until the specified
pressure is obtained.
• Never underinflate or overinflate the
tyres.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tyre
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tyre or rim.
Overinflation can cause the tyre to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Overinflation can also cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.

WARNING
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tyres and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tyres and
wheel alignment checked periodically
by your MARUTI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones, or
other objects sticking into the tyres.
Your MARUTI is equipped with tyres
which are all the same type and size.
This is important to ensure proper
steering and handling of the vehicle.
Never mix tyres of different size or
type on the four wheels of your
vehicle. The size and type of tyres
used should be only those approved
by MARUTI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.

2) Check that the depth of the tread groove
is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in). To help
you check this, the tyres have moulded-
in tread wear indicators in the grooves.
When the indicators appear on the tread
surface, the remaining depth of the tread
is 1.6 mm (0.06 in) or less and the tyre
should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
damage. Any tyres with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any tyres
show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your MARUTI dealer.
