INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
79MH0-74E
Wheel Alignment
In case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
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 rim. Tube-
less 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 infla-
tion pressure. Driving continuously 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 mu not be
used.
3) In case tyre has run at low pressure, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4) Whenever new tyre is fitted, replace the
valve.
5) If continuous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pres-
sure.
6) Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recom-
mended to be replaced when the
remaining tread has worn to this point.
The indicators are spaced across the
tread around the tyre marked by a trian-
gular symbol (TWI).
7) Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting
machine. In case of manual mounting
tyre/ wheel rim damage may occur.
8) In case of any problem, please get in
touch with authorised MARUTI SUZUKI
workshop.
Temporary Spare Tire (if equipped)
Your vehicle comes equipped with the tem-
porary spare tire. It is only intended for
temporary emergency use, until the con-
ventional tire can be repaired or replaced.
The inflation pressure of the temporary
spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. At the same time, check that the
tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.
WARNING
The temporary spare tire and wheel
are intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this spare
can result in tire failure and loss of
control. Always observe these precau-
tions when using this spare:
• Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
• Do not exceed 120 km/h speed
(only vehicle with 195/55R16 87H
tire).
• Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
• Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
• Set the specified tire pressure indi-
cated on the tire information label
located on the driver’s door lock
pillar.
• Do not use tire chains on the tem-
porary spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
• The temporary spare tire has a
much shorter tread life than the
conventional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
• When replacing the temporary
spare tire, use a replacement tire
with the exact same size and con-
struction.
