INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
(Continued)
* Brake fluid can harm your eyes
and damage painted surfaces. Use
caution when refilling the reservoir.
* Do not use any fluid other than
DOT-3 brake fluid. Do not use
reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open con-
tainers. It is essential that foreign
particles and other liquids are kept
out of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
The brake fluid should be replaced ac-
cording to the maintenance schedule.
Have the brake fluid replaced by your
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
With disc brakes, the fluid level can be
expected to gradually fall as the brake
pads wear.
Brake Pedal
Measure the distance between the brake
pedal and floor wall when the pedal is de-
pressed with approximately 30 kg (66
lbs) of force. The minimum distance re-
quired is 5.1 in (130 mm). Since your
vehicle's brake system is self-adjusting,
there is no need for pedal adjustment. If
the pedal to floor wall distance as meas-
ured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle in-
spected by your SUZUKI dealer.
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.
If you experience any of the following
problems with your vehicle's brake
system, have the vehicle inspected
immediately by your SUZUKI dealer.
* Poor braking performance
* Uneven braking (Brakes not work-
ing uniformly on all wheels.)
* Excessive pedal travel
* Brake dragging
* Excessive noise
* Pedal pulsation (Pedal pulsates
when pressed for braking.)
