Hydroplaning
The condition of driving a vehicle fast on the road surface
covered with water can cause tires to fail to rotate with a
good contact on the surface, so results in remaining them
afloat. This is so–called hydroplaning. It causes brake
failure, lower tractive force, and losing the steering per-
formance so it is very vulnerable condition.

Standing Wave
During running the rotating tire repeats deformation and
restoring movement generated in tread. But when the
wheel rotating speed reaches high, the next deformation
applied to tire before restoring last deformation so the
trembling wave appears in the tread portion. The lower
the tire pressure the severe the trembling wave appears.
And during the high speed.

REPLACEMENT TIRES
A Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) specification number
is molded in the sidewall near the tire size of all original
equipment tires. This specification number assures that
the tire meets performance standards for traction, en-
durance, dimensions, noise, handling and rolling resist-
ance. Usually a specific TPC number is assigned to
each tire size.Caution: Do not mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted
tires except in emergencies, because vehicle han-
dling may be seriously affected and may result in
loss of control.
Caution: Do not change 145/70 R13 tires or 155/65
R13 tires for 175/60 R13 tires, because vehicle
hancling may be seriously affected and may result
in loss of control. If you change 145/70 R13 tires or
155/65 R13 tires for 175/60 R13 tires, you have to
change the steering gear assembly.
Use only replacement tires with the same size, load
range, and construction as the original. The use of any
other tire size or construction type may seriously affect
ride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, ve-
hicle ground clearance, and tire clearance to the body
and the chassis. This does not apply to the spare tire fur-
nished with the vehicle.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on
the same axle.
If it is necessary to replace only one tire, pair it with the
tire having the most tread to equalize the braking action.
Although they may appear different in tread design, tires
built by different manufacturers with identical TPC speci-
fications may be used on the same vehicle.
ALL SEASON TIRES
Most vehicles are now equipped with steel-belted all
season radial tires as standard equipment. These tires
qualify as snow tires, with a 37 percent higher average
rating for snow traction than the non-all season radial
tires previously used. Other performance areas, such as
wet traction, rolling resistance, tread life, and air reten-
tion, have also been improved. This was done by im-
provements in both tread design and tread compounds.
These tires are identified by an “M + S” molded in the tire
sidewall following the size number. The suffix “MS” is
also molded in the sidewall after the TPC specification
number.
The optional handling tires used on some vehicles are
not all season tires. These will not have the “MS” mark-
ing after the tire size or the TPC specification number.
TIRE LABEL
The tire label is permanently located on the rear face of
the driver’s door and should be referred to for tire infor-
mation. It lists the maximum vehicle load, the tire size
(including the spare tire), and the cold inflation pressure
(including the spare tire).
SPARE TIRE
This vehicle comes equipped with a full-sized spare tire
and wheel.

9I – 2 WATERLEAKS

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
WATERLEAK DIAGNOSIS
The repair of waterleaks in the body requires proper
testing and diagnosis. Repair waterleaks by adjusting
the misaligned parts and using the proper repair materi-
als. First, determine what conditions cause the leak. For
example, the leak may occur only when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, or water may appear only in the
spare tire compartment. Second, test the area for the
source of the leak using the following testing methods. If
the general leak area is found, determine the exact entry
point of the leak by using a water hose or an air hose. If
the general leak area is not obvious, use the watertest
stands to determine the area of the leak. It may be nec-
essary to remove some interior trim panels or some
parts in order to locate the leaks.
Important: It is necessary to find the origin of all the
leaks before making any repairs. Random repairs may
stop the leak only temporarily and may make future re-
pairs more difficult. Continue localized testing in the gen-
eral area in order to ensure that all leaks are found.
Generalized Testing
1. Set up the watertest stands.
