1. Wheels and Axles

B4M0051
7. Full Wheel Cap
A: REMOVAL
Pry off the full wheel cap with a wheel cap remover inserted
between openings in the cap.
B: INSTALLATION
Align the valve hole in the wheel cap with the valve on the
wheel and secure the wheel cap by tapping four points by
hand.
8. Steel Wheel and Tire
1) Deformation or damage on the rim can cause air leak-
age. Check the rim flange for deformation, crack, or
damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
2) Take stone, glass, nail etc. off the tread groove.
G4M0297
3) Replace tire:
when large crack on side wall, damage or crack on
tread is found.
when the“tread wear indicator”appears as a solid
band across the tread.
CAUTION:
When replacing a tire, make sure to use only the
same size, construction and load range as originally
installed.
Avoid mixing radial, belted bias or bias tires on the
vehicle.

12. Tire Rotation
If tires are maintained at the same positions for a long
period of time, uneven wear results. Therefore, they should
be periodically rotated.
This lengthens service life of tires.
CAUTION:
When rotating tires, replace unevenly worn or dam-
aged tires with new ones.
13.“T-type”Tire
“T-type”tire for temporary use is prepared as a spare tire.
CAUTION:
Keep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm
2,
60 psi) at all times.
When the wear indicator appears on the tread
surface, replace the tire with a new one.
Do not use a tire chain with the“T-type”tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit
properly and will result in damage to the vehicle and
the tire.
Do not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h (50
MPH).
Drive as slowly as possible and avoid passing over
bumps.
Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible
since this“T-type”tire is only for temporary use.
