Tyre Inspection
Inspect your vehicle’s tyres at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre
gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-
sary. Remember to check the spare
tyre, too.

(1) Tread wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
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
molded-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 SU
Z UKI
dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticking into the tyres.
WARNING
• 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 pres-
sure 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 SUZUKI dealer.
