      1. Tire pressure adjustment method when warm (w/ Tire Pressure Warning System):


        1. Turn the engine switch off.

        2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

        3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

        4. Turn the GTS on.

        5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.

        6. Adjust the tire pressure so that the displayed value is equal to the set pressure.

        7. Perform initialization and check that initialization completes.

        8. Check and record the value of the Data List item "Temperature in Tire". (Ts)

        9. Check and record the ambient temperature during tire pressure adjustment. (Tm)

        10. Readjust the tire pressure according to the difference between the tire internal temperature (Ts) and the ambient temperature (Tm). (P)

          Tech Tips

          Tire internal temperature: Ts, Ambient temperature: Tm, Tire pressure readjustment value: PP = (Specified Pressure) + (Ts - Tm)

        11. Check the pressure adjustment value with the Data List item "Tire Inflation Pressure".

        Note

        Check the tire pressure warning system description for the relationship between the inflation pressure and tire pressure warning pressure.

    2. A01X9IR

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

      Tire runout
      3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less

      Tech Tips

      Remove the wheel assembly from the vehicle, and measure the wheel assembly alone.

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. A01XB8JE04
      Text in Illustration
      *a Front of the Vehicle

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      for Aluminum Wheel
      131 N*m  { 1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf }
      for Steel Wheel
      209 N*m  { 2131 kgf*cm, 154 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE


    1. A01X3T7

      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. A01X7WIE01

      for Aluminum Wheel Type:

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Tire Size Standard Imbalance After Adjustment
      285/65R17 116H 7.5 g (0.0165 lb) or less
      285/60R18 116V 7.0 g (0.0154 lb) or less
      285/50R20 112V 6.5 g (0.0143 lb) or less

      Note


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

      • 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)
        20 mm (0.787 in.)

      • Push the balance weight firmly so that it securely adheres to the position.

      • Do not reuse the balance weight.

      Tech Tips

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