INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Replacing the wheels and tires e-
quipped on your vehicle with certain com-
binations of aftermarket wheels and
tires can significantly change the
steering and handling characteristics
of your vehicle. Therefore, use only
those wheel and tire combinations
approved by Suzuki Motor Corpora-
tion as standard or optional equip-
ment for your vehicle.
A CAUTION
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your SUZUKI dealer
before purchasing replacement tires
that differ in size from the original
tires.
Tire Rotation
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as il-
lustrated. Tires should be rotated every
7,500 miles (12,500 km) as recommend-
ed in the periodic maintenance schedule.
After rotation, adjust front and rear tire
pressures to the specification listed on
your vehicle's Tire Inflation Pressure
Label.
Changing Wheels
To change a wheel, use the following pro-
cedure:
1) Remove the jack, tools and spare
wheel from the vehicle.
2) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel
nuts.
3) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking
instructions in the EMERGENCY SER-
VICE section in this manual)
4) Remove the wheel nuts and wheel.
5) Install the new wheel and replace the
wheel nuts with their cone shaped
end facing the wheel. Tighten each
nut snugly by hand until the wheel is
securely seated on the hub.
