The braking system is critical for safety, and maintaining it properly ensures the vehicle performs efficiently. The Suzuki Cultus sometimes faces brake issues, such as worn-out brake pads, low brake fluid, o r air in the brake lines. Heres how to ensure your brakes are in top condition:

Preventive Measures:

Check brake pads: Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. If the pads are thinner than 3mm, replace them immediately.
Check brake fluid levels: Ensure the brake fluid is at the right level and replace it according to your vehicles manual. Low brake fluid can lead to reduced braking power.
Brake line inspection: Look for leaks around the brake lines and check for any cracks in the system.
Test brakes regularly: Listen for squealing o r grinding noises while driving. These are signs the brake pads may be worn.
Signs of Brake Problems:

Unusual noises: Squealing o r grinding sounds when pressing the brake pedal.
Vibrations o r pulling to one side: This may indicate warped rotors o r uneven brake pad wear.
Spongy o r hard brake pedal: A soft o r hard brake pedal may signal a fluid leak o r air in the brake lines.
What to Do: If you notice any of these signs, its important to have your braking system checked by a mechanic immediately. Regular brake maintenance ensures you can stop safely and quickly.
