INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Parking Brake Lever EXAMPLE 200 N (44 lbs, 20 kg) Steering Wheel EXAMPLE "b" 60G104 60A226 54G110 WARNING 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 working uniformly on all wheels.) • Excessive pedal travel • Brake dragging • Excessive noise • (Except ABS equipped vehicle) Pedal pulsation (Pedal pulsates when pressed for braking.) Ratchet tooth specification "b" 5th - 7th Check the parking brake for proper adjustment by counting the number of clicks made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the parking brake lever to the point of full engagement. The parking brake lever should stop between the specified ratchet teeth and the rear wheels should be securely locked. If the parking brake is not properly adjusted or the brakes drag after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspected and/or adjusted by your SUZUKI dealer. Steering wheel play "c" 0 - 30 mm (0.0 - 1.2 in.) Check the play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and measuring the distance that it moves before you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values. Check that the steering wheel turns easily and smoothly without rattling by turning it all the way to the right and to the left while driving very slowly in an open area. If the amount of free play is outside the specification or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by your SUZUKI dealer. 9-23
