Tire. Repair procedures
•
|
Using tires and wheel other than the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling characteristics and poor vehicle control,
resulting in a serious accident.
|
|
1. |
Measure the tread depth of the tires.
Tread depth [limit] : 1.6 mm (0.0630 in.)
|
|
2. |
If the remaining tread depth (A) is less than the limit, replace the
tire.
• |
When the tread depth of the tires is less than 1.6 mm(0.0630
in), the wear indicators (B) will appear.
|
|
|
Tire Rotation
Checking For Pull And Wander |
If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following
wheel rotation procedure.
1. |
Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test
in order to confirm vehicle stability.
|
2. |
If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear
tires, and perform a road test again.
|
3. |
If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right
and left tires again, and perform a road test.
|
4. |
If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the
front wheels with new ones.
|
1. |
Remove valve core and deflate the tire.
|
2. |
Remove the side of the tire bead area from the wheel using tire changing
machine .
• |
The tire bead should be broken approx. 90° from the
valve side of the wheel. The bead breaker should not
be set too deep.
|
• |
Avoid tire/tool contact with the valve on dismount.
|
• |
Dismount should end near the valve.
|
|
|
3. |
Rotate the wheel clockwise.
|
1. |
Apply tire soap or lubrication to the top and bottom tire beads.
• |
When changing the wheel, do not reuse the snap-in type
TPMS sensor.
|
|
|
2. |
To fit the bottom bead, position the valve at the 5 o’clock position
relative to the head on the tire changing machine.
|
3. |
Place the tire on the rim so the bottom bead touches the edge of the
rim after the valve (6 o’clock). Rotate the rim clockwise, and push
down on the tire at the 3 o’clock position to fit bottom bead.
|
4. |
After bottom bead is on tire, rotate the rim until the valve is at the
5 o’clock position relative to the head on the tire changing machine.
Push down on the tire at the 3 o’clock position and rotate the rim clockwise
to fit the top bead.
|
5. |
Inflate the tire until both beads seat.
Recommended Tire pressure :
240 kPa (35 psi)

Wheel. Repair procedures
Hub nut tightening sequence |
1. |
Tighten the hub nuts as follows.
Tightening torque:
107.9 - 127.5 N.m (11.0 - 13.0 kgf.m, 79.6 - 94.0 lb-ft)
|
• |
When using an impact gun, final tightening torque should
be checked using a torque wrench.
|
|
If the vehicle starts within 19 minutes after the replacement
of the wheel of the stopped vehicle, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
on the instrument cluster illuminates.
– |
The above symptom is due to communication failure between
the BCM and the replaced TPMS ID.
|
– |
This communication failure indicator turns off in 19
minutes after the vehicle stops through the BCM’s automatic
learning process of TPMS ID.
(When driving the vehicle after stopping for over 19
minutes, the indicator turns off automatically.)
|
|
|
Run out inspection
2. |
Measure the wheel Run-out by using a dial indicator as illustration
below.
Run - out
|
Aluminum
|
Radial mm (in.)
|
Below 0.3 (0.0118)
|
Lateral mm (in.)
|
Below 0.3 (0.0118)
|
|
3. |
If measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the wheel.
|
Alignment. Repair procedures
•
|
When using a commercially available computerizedwheel alignment
equipment to inspect the front wheelalignment, always position
the vehicle on a levelsurface with the front wheels facing straight
ahead.
|
•
|
Prior to inspection, make sure that the frontsuspension and
steering system are in normaloperating condition and that the
tires are inflated tothe specified pressure.
|

Toe
B - A > 0 : Toe in
B - A < 0 : Toe out
|
Toe adjustment
1. |
Loosen the tie rod end lock nut.
|
2. |
Remove the bellows clip to prevent the bellows frombeing twisted.
|
3. |
Adjust the toe by screwing or unscrewing the tie rod.Toe adjustment
should be made by turning the rightand left tie rods by the same amount.
Toe
Total : 0.1° ± 0.2°
Individual : 0.05° ± 0.1°
|
|
4. |
When completing the toe adjustment, install thebellows clip and tighten
the tie rod end lock nut tospecified torque.
Tightening torque :
49.0 - 53.9 N.m (5.0 - 5.5 kgf.m, 36.2 - 39.8 lb-ft)
|
|
Camber
When the wheel tilts out at the top, then the camber ispositive (+). When the
wheel tilts in at the top, then the camber isnegative (-). Camber and Caster
are pre-set at the factory, so they donot need to be adjusted. If the camber
and caster are notwithin the standard value, replace or repair the damagedparts
and then inspect again.

Caster
Caster is the tilting of the strut axis either forward or backward from vertical.
A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
Caster is pre-set at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted. If the caster
is not within the standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.

|
The difference of left and right wheels about the the caster
must be within the range of 0° ± 0.5°.
|
|
•
|
When using a commercially available computerized wheel alignment
equipment to inspect the rear wheel alignment, always position
