SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT WHEELS AND TIRES
1. Do not use wheels or tires other than the specified types.
2. Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. When washing them, use a soft cloth, never a wire brush. If the
vehicle is steam cleaned, do not allow boiling water to contact the wheels.
3. If alkaline compounds (such as saltwater or road salts) get on aluminum wheels, wash them as soon as
possible to prevent damage. Use only a neutral detergent.

NOTES REGARDING TIRE REPLACEMENT
Note the following points when tires are to be removed from or mounted onto the wheels.
1. Be careful not to damage the tire bead, the rim bead, or the edge of the rim.
2. Use a wire brush, sandpaper, or cloth to clean and remove all rust and dirt from the rim edge and the
rim bead.
3. When cleaning aluminum wheels, use a soft cloth, never a wire brush or sandpaper.
4. Remove any pebbles, glass, nails, and other foreign items embedded in the tire tread.
5. Be sure the air valve is installed correctly.
6. Apply a soapy solution to the tire bead and the edge of the rim.
7. After mounting a tire onto a wheel, inflate the tire to 250-300 kPa (2.55-3.06 kg/cm2, 35.55-42.66
psi). Check to be sure that the bead is seated correctly onto the rim and that there are no air leaks. Then
reduce the pressure to the specified level.
8. If a tire iron is used to change a tire on an aluminum wheel, be sure to use a piece of rubber between
the iron lever and the wheel to avoid damage to the wheel. Work should be done on a rubber mat, not
on a hard or rough surface.

WEIGHT
REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
1. The wheel-to-hub contact surfaces must be clean.
2. Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
88-l 18 N-m (9-12 m-kg, 85-87 ft-lb)
Caution
l When reinstalling a wheel, retighten the lug nuts to
the specified torque after about 1,000 km (820 miles)
driving.
TIRE ROTATION
To prolong tire life and assure uniform tire wear, rotate the tires
from every 3,000 km (1,860 miles) to every 6,000 km (3,720
miles).
Caution
l Do not include “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” spare tire
in rotation.
l Use the best tires on the front axle.
l After rotating the tires, adjust each tire to the speci-
fied air pressure. (Refer to page Q-3.)
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
If a wheel becomes unbalanced or if a tire is replaced or
repaired, the wheel must be rebalanced to within specification.
Maximum unbalance (at rim edge)
13 inch wheel: 11 g (0.39 oz)
14 inch wheel: 10 g (0.35 or)
Caution
l Do not use more than two balance weights on the
inner or outer side of the wheel.
l If the total weight exceeds 1OOg (3.5 oz) perslde,
rebalance after moving the tire around on the rim.
l Attach the balance weights tightly on the wheel.
l Select suitable balance weights for steel or alumi-
num alloy wheels.
l Do not use an on-car balancer on automatic trans-
axle models; it may cause transaxle damage.

PRE-INSPECTION
1. Check the tire inflations and set to the recommended pressure, if necessary.
2. Inspect the front wheel bearing play; replace the bearing if necessary.
3. inspect the wheel and tire runout.
4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for any excessive looseness.
5. The vehicle must be on level ground and have no luggage or passenger load.
6. The difference in height between the left and right sides from the center of the wheel to the fender brim
must not exceed
10mm (0.39 in).
7. Shake the vehicle to check operation of the shock absorbers.

7. Align the protector on the body, and attach it securely as
shown.
8. Prepare the nozzle of the sealant gun so that it has a flange
that can run along the edge of the glass and a V from which
the sealant can flow. Once the primer is dry, apply the seal-
ant around the entire circumference of the glass to fill the
gap between the dam and the edge of the glass with a ridge
of sealant

Keep the bead of sealant smooth and even, reshaping it
where necessary with a spatula.
