check the steering knuckle and front wheel bearing for loose-
ness.

(c) How to read the adjustment chart (Example).
(1) Find the applicable wheel alignment standard value
for the particular model.
(2) Mark the selected standard value on the adjustment
chart.
Example:
Camber: 0°08' (0.13°)
Caster: 2°59' (2.98°)
(3) Measure the present wheel alignment value with
the vehicle unloaded.
(4) Mark the measured present value on the adjust-
ment chart.
Example:
Camber: 0°20' (0.33°)
Caster: 2°59' (2.98°)
(5) As shown in the example chart, read the distance
from the measured value to the standard value, and
adjust the front and/or rear adjusting cams accord-
ingly.
Amount to turn the adjusting cams (by graduation):
Example:
Front cam: 1.4 (+ direction)
Rear cam: 1.3 (+ direction)

WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
1. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VALVE SUB±ASSY
(a) When installing a tire, make sure that the tire pressure monitor valve does not interfere with the tire
bead in order to prevent damage to the sensor.
(b) After completing the operation, remove the valve core to rapidly release air and check that the warning
light comes on. If not, the system may have a defect.
(c) If there is air leakage, tighten the nut with a force of 4.0 NVm (41 kgfVcm, 35 in.Vlbf) and push the valve
core 2 or 3 times to remove any dirt attached to the valve core.
If there is still air leakage, replace the grommet, the washer and the nut all together.
(d) When installing the tire pressure monitor valve, check whether the rim, grommet, washer and nut are
clean. Use a manufacturer±specified cap.
(e) When putting air into the tire, first install the tire pressure valve straight onto the stem of the tire pres-
sure monitor valve.
2. TIRE AND WHEEL REPLACEMENT OR TIRE ROTATION
(a) When replacing tires, be sure to check if the grommet of the tire valve is damaged. If so, replace the
grommet together with the washer and nut.
(b) When tires and wheels are replaced, make sure to register the transmitter ID.

If installed in the reverse direction, the tire pressure
monitor valve may be damaged or fail to transmit sig-
nals when running at high speed.
If installing a new tire pressure monitor valve, write
down the ID number before installation.
It is necessary to registor an ID in the ECU after instal-
lation (See page DI±805).
(b) Install the washer on the tire pressure monitor valve from
the rim side and tighten with a nut.
Torque: 4.0 NVm (41 kgfVcm, 35 in.Vlbf)
NOTICE:
Check that there is no foreign matter on the washer
and nut.
If the tire pressure monitor valve is removed when the
tire is removed for replacement, check that there is no
damage or cuts, and no foreign matter such as mud,
dirt or sand attached to the grommet. Replace the
grommet with a new one if any of the defects men-
tioned above are found.
Check that there is no oil, water or lubricant around
the rim hole, tire pressure monitor valve, washer and
nut. Failing to do so may result in improper installa-
tion.
(c) After the tire is inflated, the valve nut may be loose. Re-
tighten the nut to the specified torque and then check for
air leaks with soapy water.
Torque: 4.0 NVm (41 kgfVcm, 35 in.Vlbf)
(d) Set the wheel disc to the mounting machine and install the
lower tire bead. Position the main body of the sensor as
in the shaded area shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
If the sensor is positioned outside this area, it generates in-
terference with the tire bead, causing possible damage to
the sensor.
(e) Install the upper bead.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the tire bead and tool do not interfere with
the main body of the sensor and that the sensor is not
clamped by the bead.
5. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 103 NVm (1,050 kgfVcm, 76 ftVlbf)
