2. TIRE’S ABNORMAL PHENOMENA
1) Standing Wave
2) Hydroplaning
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 during the high speed.
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 a
float. This is so-called hydroplaning. It
causes brake failure, lower tractive force
and losing the steering performance so it is
very vulnerable condition.

3. WHEEL ALIGNMENT
The first responsibility of engineering is to design safe steering and suspension systems. Each
component must be strong enough to with stand and absorb extreme punishment.
Both the steering system and the front and the rear suspension must function geometrically
with the body mass.
The steering and suspension systems require that the front wheels self-return and that the tire
rolling effort and the road friction be held to a negligible force in order to allow the customer to
direct the vehicle with the least effort and the most comfort.
A complete wheel alignment check should include measurements of the rear toe and camber.
1) Toe-in
2) Camber
Toe-in is the turning in of the tires, while toe-
out is the turning out of the tires from the
geometric centerline or thrust line. The toe
ensures parallel rolling of the wheels.
The toe serves to offset the small deflections
of the wheel support system which occu
r
when the vehicle is rolling forward.
The specified toe angle is the setting which
achieves-degrees “0°” of toe when the
vehicle is moving.
Incorrect toe-in or toe-out will cause tire
wear and reduced fuel economy. As the
individual steering and suspension
components wear from vehicle mileage,
additional toe will be needed to compensate
for the wear. Always correct the toe
dimension last.
Camber is the tilting of the top of the tire
from the vertical when viewed from the front
of the vehicle. When the tires tilt outward,
the camber is positive. When the tires tilt
inward, the camber is negative. The cambe
r
angle is measured in degrees from the
vertical. Camber influnces both directional
control and tire wear.
If the vehicle has too much positive camber,
the outside shoulder of the tire will wear. I
f
the vehicle has too much negative camber,
the inside shoulder of the tire will wear.
Camber is measured in degrees and is not
adjustable.

3) Caster
Caster is the tilting of the uppermost point of
the steering axis either forward or backward
from the vertical when viewed from the side
of the vehicle. A backward tilt is positive
and a forward tilt negative. Caster influences
directional control of the steering but does
not affect tire wear.
Weak springs or overloading a vehicle will
affect caster.
One wheel with more positive caster will pull
toward the center of the car. This condition
will cause the car to move or lean toward the
side with the least amount of positive caster.
Caster is measures in degrees and is not
adjustable.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
3. FFF GENERAL INFORMATION
The system is to increase the coolant temperature quickly by firing diesel fuel in the burner that
is installed in engine cooling system when in winter time the ambient temperature and engine
coolant temperature is low. (Option)
FFH System consists of independent fuel lines, fuel pump, coolant circuit, coolant ciculation
pump, electrical glow plug and exhaust system by driver’s intention because FFH system
is automatically.
Operated according to the coolant temperature and the ambient temperature.
FFH system operates up to more than 2 minutes to burn the residual fuel inside the system
when driver stop the engine during its operation. Therefore, a certain period of FFH operation
after stopping the engine is not a malfunction.
