TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TIRES


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

      *1: Standard Pressure

      *2: ECO Pressure

    2. B001N5J

      Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

      Maximum tire runout
      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. B001MOX

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Text in Illustration
      B001KHV Front
      Torque:
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL BALANCE


    1. B001KN7E25
      Text in Illustration
      *a 25 mm (0.984 in.)

      Inspect and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Maximum imbalance
      8.0 g (0.0176 lb)

      Note


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

      • Do not touch the adhesive surface of the balance weight.

      • Adhere a stick-on type balance weight to the flat surface*a shown in the illustration.

      • Push the balance weight with your finger to securely adhere it to the desired position.

      • Do not reuse balance weights.

      Tech Tips

      Use clip-on type balance weights for the inner side, and stick-on type balance weights for the outer side.
