INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
57L20-03E
Note that two or more compact spare
tires should not be used on one vehi-
cle simultaneously. Snow Tires
Your vehicle is equipped with all-sea-
son tires which are designed for use in
summer and most winter conditions.
For improved traction in severe winter
conditions, SUZUKI recommends
mounting radial snow tires on all four
wheels. Snow tires must be the same
size as the standard tires. Also be sure
to use the tires of the same type and
brand on all four wheels of your vehi-
cle.
WARNING
The compact spare tire and wheel
are intended for temporary emer-
gency use only. Continuous use
of this spare can result in tire fail-
ure and loss of control. Always
observe these precautions when
using this spare:
• Your vehicle will handle differ-
ently with this temporary spare.
• Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed.
• Replace this spare with a stan-
dard tire and wheel as soon as
possible.
• Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
• Recommended air pressure for
this spare is 420 kPa (60 psi).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare. If you must use
tire chains, rearrange the
wheels so standard tires and
wheels are fitted to the front
axle.

WARNING
(Continued)
• The compact spare tire has a
much shorter tread life than the
conventional tires on your vehi-
cle. Replace the tire as soon as
the tread wear indicator
appears.
• When replacing the compact
tire, use a replacement tire with
the exact same size and con-
struction.
CAUTION
For intelligent All Wheel Drive (i-
AWD) models, driving with an
underinflated compact spare tire
or over 80 km/h (50 mph) while
using a compact spare tire can
result in damage to the drive
train.
