INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Parking Brake Lever Steering Wheel Power Steering (if equipped) EXAMPLE 200 N (44 lbs, 20 kg) "c" "b" 60A226 65D187 54G225 Ratchet tooth specification "b" 6th - 8th 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. (1) UPPER (2) LOWER Check the steering box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or damage. Power Steering Fluid Check the fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment when the fluid is cold (about room temperature). Check that the fluid level is between the "UPPER" and "LOWER" lines. If the fluid level is near the "LOWER" line, fill it up to the "UPPER" line with an automatic transaxle fluid equivalent to ATF DEXRON®-II (Esso JWS 2326) or DEXRON®-III. Do not overfill. 9-24
