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 regu-
lar height without “spongy” feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake sys-
tem inspected by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop. If you doubt the brake
pedal for the regular height, check it as fol-
lows:

Pedal to floor carpet minimum dis-
tance “a”: 63 mm (2.5 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 authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor carpet, be sure not to
include the accessory mat or rubber mat
on the floor wall in your measurement.
