INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Air pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
Never underinflate or overinflate
the tires.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tire or rim.
Overinflation can cause the tire
to burst, resulting in personal in-
jury. Overinflation can also cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.
2) Check that the depth of the tread
groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in).
To help you check this, the tires have
molded-in tread wear indicators in the
grooves. When the indicators appear
on the tread surface, the remaining
depth of the tread is 0.06 in (1.6 mm)
or less and the tire should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
damage. Any tires with cracks or
other damage should be replaced. If
any tires show abnormal wear, have
them inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer.
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tires and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tires and
wheel alignment checked periodical-
ly by your SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones
or other objects sticking into the tires.
Your SUZUKI is equipped with tires
which are all the same type and size.
This is important to ensure proper
steering and handling of the vehicle.
Never mix tires of different size or
type on the four wheels of your vehi-
cle. The size and type of tires used
should be only those approved by
Suzuki Motor Corporation as standard
or optional equipment for your vehi-
cle.
