INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE:
• The fluid level can be expected to gradu-
ally fall as the brake pad and/or shoe
wear.
• Brake fluid absorbs water over time and
brake fluid with high water content may
cause vapor lock or brake system mal-
function.
Replace the brake fluid according to the
maintenance schedule in this owner’s
manual.
Brake pedal
Check brake pedal stroke. If the stroke is
so large, have the brake system inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. If you
doubt the brake pedal is at its normal
height, check it as follows:

Minimum distance between brake pedal
and floor carpet “a”
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 an authorized 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 carpet in your measurement.
• Measure the distance at the brake
pedal’s side facing toward the driver’s
door.
