(a) Check the tires for wear and for the proper inflation pres-
sure.

(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less
2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off-the-car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On-the-car balance.
Unbalance after adjustment: 8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Tire sizeFrontRear
155SR13187.9 mm (7.40 in.)253.2 mm (9.97 in.)
Front measuring point:
Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension
arm front mounting bolt.
Rear measuring point:
Measure from the ground to the center of the axle beam mount-
ing bolt.
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specification.
If the vehicle height is not the specification, try to adjust it by
pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR
ONTO WHEEL ALIGNMENT TESTER
Follow the specific instruction of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS

HINT:
If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the spec-
ification, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck
the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
4. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0.1° ± 0.2°
C - D: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specification, adjust by the tie rod
end.

DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of
a steering wheel pad, always first deploy the airbag in accor-
dance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality
occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE
DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
When disposing of a steering wheel pad with an airbag
deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given in step
1-(d) in ºDISPOSALº.
CAUTION:
Never dispose of a steering wheel pad which has an
undeployed airbag.
The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound
when it deploys, so perform the operation out-of-
doors and where it will not create a nuisance to
nearby residents.
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Carry out opera-
tion in a place away from electrical noise.
SST 09082-00700
When deploying an airbag, do it at least 10 m (33 ft)
away from the steering wheel pad.
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

(d) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Place the disc wheel on level ground.
Connect the SST connector to the steering wheel pad
connector.
SST 09082-00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, pro-
vide some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc
wheel.
(e) Cover the steering wheel pad with cardboard box or tires.
Covering method using cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 190 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.)
When dimension y of the cardboard box exceeds the
diameter of the disc wheel with tire to which the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied -
x= 460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y= 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is used,
the cardboard box will be broken by the shock of the airbag
deployment.
Covering method using tires:
Place at least 3 tires without disc wheel on top of the
disc wheel with tire to which the steering wheel pad
is tied.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with disc wheels.
