TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TIRES


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

      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure
      Tire Size

      Front

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)

      Rear

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      205/60R16 92V

      250 (2.5, 36)

      240 (2.4, 35)*1

      250 (2.5, 36)

      230 (2.3, 33)*1
      215/50R17 91V 230 (2.3, 33) 230 (2.3, 33)

      *1: for Australia


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

      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 Click here.

        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. A005AOQ

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

      Maximum Tire Runout
      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. A005DD8

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Text in Illustration
      A005EL2 Front

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

  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL BALANCE


    1. A005AWUE08

      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.

        Width (A)
        25 mm (0.984 in.)

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

      • Do not reuse balance weights.

      Tech Tips

      The inner side balance weight should be installed by clipping it to the rim.
