WHEELS AND TIRES 3F-7
TIRE
MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equip-
ment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel
rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel
wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mount-
ing or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with ap-
proved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35psi) so that beads are com-
pletely seated. Then adjust pressure to specified shown an tire
placard.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when
bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If
240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lu-
bricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break
and cause serious personal injury.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
TIRE REPAIR
There are many different materials and techniques on the market
to repair tires. As not all of these work on all types of tires, tire
manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and
when to repair tires. These instructions can be obtained from the
tire manufacturer.

4) After bleeding air, check that LSPV is installed properly, referring
to following INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT.
INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT
Confirm the following before inspection and adjustment.
Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.
Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack handle.
Vehicle is free from any other load.
With vehicle in above conditions;
1) Place it on level floor.
2) Push up (for 5 door model) or push down (for 3 door model)
LSPV lever with finger till it stops and measure length ªLº of coil
spring as it is pulled.
3) Spring length ªLº should be the value specified below.
Spring length (between spring end and spring bolt)
ªLº: 103 mm (4.06 in.) (5 door model). . . . .
ªLº: 157 mm (6.18 in.) (3 door model). . . . .
4) If it isn't, adjust it to specification by changing stay positions as
shown in figure. After adjustment, tighten bolt to specified
torque.
For details, refer to left figure.
Tightening Torque
(a): 23 N
.m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
