3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance (A) from rear side.
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
CAUTION:
If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance (B) from front side.

(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fu
el other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
Precaution for Multiport Fuel Inject ion System or Engine Control System INFOID:0000000004307350
• Before connecting or disconnecti ng any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec- tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow sensor.
Precaution for Hoses INFOID:0000000004307351
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION • To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose with tapered tool or screwdriver.
• To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)
HOSE CLAMPING • If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi- tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position.
• Discard old clamps; replace with new ones. SMA019D
