4. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER ON-VEHICLE
Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allow-
able indication error and check the operation of the odometer.
HINT:
Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indica-
tion error.

2. ADJUST HEADLIGHT AIM ONLY
(a) Place the vehicle in the following conditions.
The area around the headlight is not deformed.
The vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Tire inflation pressure is the specified value.
A driver is in the driver's seat and the vehicle is in a state ready for driving (with a tank full).
The vehicle has been bounced several times.
(b) Check the headlight aiming.
(1) Prepare a thick white paper.
(2) Stand the paper perpendicular to the ground at the position 9.84 ft away from the headlights.
(3) Ensure that the center line of the vehicle and the paper face forms a 90-degree angle as shown
in the illustration.
(4) Draw a horizontal line (H line) on the paper, showing where the headlights should strike.
(5) Draw a vertical line (V line) to where the center line of the vehicle is to be.
(6) Draw 2 vertical lines (by connecting the low and high beam center marks) to where the both head-
lights should strike (V RH and V LH lines).
(7) Draw a horizontal line (by connecting the both low beam center marks) to where the headlights
should strike (H RH and H LH lines).
HINT:
The H RH and H LH line is 0.4° below the horizontal line (H line) of the light axis.
(8) Start the engine.
(9) Turn the headlights ON.
(10) Check that the headlights properly strike the position shown in the illustration.
(11) If not, adjust the lights in the vertical direction.
HINT:
As shown in the illustration, adjust each aim of the RH and LH lights.
(c) When adjusting it in the vertical direction:
Using adjusting bolt, adjust the headlight aim to within the specified range.

TIRE AND WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
Tire sizeFront, rear
kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
P205/65R15 92H210 (2.1, 31)
P205/60R16 91H220 (2.2, 32)
(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire when you in-
clude the spare tire in the rotation and when you do not.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off-the-car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On-the-car balance.
Imbalance after adjustment: 8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less
