PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TIRES


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

      Taiwan 215/55R17 93V

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      250 (2.5, 36)*2

      		 230 (2.3, 33)
      Australia 215/55R17 93V

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      250 (2.5, 36)*2

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      240 (2.4, 35)*2

      Russia

      Others

      		 215/55R17 93V 4 passengers or less

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      250 (2.5, 36)*3

      290 (2.9, 42)*4

      		 230 (2.3, 33)
      5 passengers or more

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      250 (2.5, 36)*3

      290 (2.9, 42)*4

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      230 (2.3, 33)*3

      270 (2.7, 39)*4
      *1: For driving under 180 km/h (112 mph)
      *2: For driving at over 180 km/h (112 mph)
      *3: For driving at 180 km/h (112 mph) to 210 km/h (130 mph).
      *4: For driving at over 210 km/h (130 mph)

      1. Perform initialization. (w/ Tire Pressure Warning System)

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


        1. Turn the power switch off.

        2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

        3. Turn the power 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: P

          P = (Specified Pressure) + (Ts - Tm)

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

        Note

        for ECE-R64 Type:

        If the tire pressure is decreased approximately 20 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2, 2.9 psi) or more in order to adjust the tire pressure, even if the adjusted tire pressure is 80% or more than the tire pressure set during system initialization, the tire pressure warning light may illuminate if the tire pressure drops below 80% of the tire pressure set when the tires are warmed. In this case, perform initialization again.

    2. B0011EZ

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

      Maximum tire runout
      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. B0011FZ

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Text in Illustration
      B0011FP Front
      Torque:
      103 N*m  { 1049 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }

    2. Perform initialization (w/ Tire Pressure Warning System).

  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL BALANCE


    1. B0011FOE19
      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.
