TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT TIRES


    1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

    2. A01DOPG

      Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.

      Standard tire runout
      2.0 mm (0.0787 in.) or less

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. A01DPM4E03
      Text in Illustration
      *a Front of the Vehicle
      *b for Vehicles with Spare Tire
      *c for Vehicles without Spare Tire

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      for steel wheel
      112 N*m  { 1137 kgf*cm, 82 ft.*lbf }
      for aluminum wheel
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE


    1. A01DU5D

      for Steel Wheel Type:

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Standard Imbalance After Adjustment
      12 g (0.0265 lb.) or less

      Tech Tips

      If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.

    2. for Aluminum Wheel Type:

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Standard Imbalance After Adjustment
      6.0 g (0.0132 lb.) or less
      A01DNWXE02
      Text in Illustration
      *a for 17 Inch Wheels *b for 18 Inch Wheels

      Note


      • Using a cleaning detergent, remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be adhered.

      • Do not touch the adhesive surface of the tape.

      • Attach a sticking type balance weight to the flat surface (A) shown in the illustration.

        Width (A)
        25 mm (0.984 in.)

      • Push the balance weight securely with your finger so that it securely adheres to the position.

      • Do not reuse the balance weight.

      Tech Tips


      • For 17 inch wheels, the outer side balance weight should be installed by clipping it to the rim.

      • If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.
