ARNING: BRAKE DUST, IF INHALED CAN DAMAGE
YOUR HEALTH. ALWAYS REMOVE BRAKE DUST USING A VACUUM
BRUSH. DO NOT USE A COMPRE SSED-AIR LINE TO DISPERSE
BRAKE DUST INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
• CAUTIONS:
Brake pads must always be replaced in axle sets.
Replacement of nuts and bolts: Various thread-locking
devices are used on nuts and bolts throughout the vehicle. These
devices restrict the number of ti mes a nut or bolt can be used.
For additional information, refer to: General Service Information

(10

Description and Operation).
The High performance brake caliper is aligned to the brake
disc when it is first installed to the vehicle, therefore, care must
be taken not to disturb this alignment. When removing the
caliper; remove the bolts that se cure the anchor bracket to the
vertical link only. DO NOT loosen any other caliper bolts.

Buzz (E
lectrical)
A
different steering buzz can be caused by
pulse width modulated (PWM) electric actuators used in variable assist steering
systems. This buzz is felt by turning the ignition key to run without starting the engine and holding onto the steering wheel.
In extreme cases, the buzz can be felt with the engine running also.
Column/Steering Wheel
Shake
Column shake is a low f
requenc
y vertical vibration excited by primary engine vibrations.
Nibble (Shimm
y)
Steeri
ng nibble is a rotary oscillation or
vibration of the steering wheel, which can be excited at a specific vehicle speed.
Nibble is driven by wheel and tire imbalance exciting a suspensi on recession mode, which then translates into steering gear
travel and finally steering wheel nibble.
Shudder (Judd
er)
Shudder i
s a low frequency oscillation of th
e entire steering system (tire, wheels, st eering gear and linkage, etc.) when the
vehicle is steered during static-park or at low sp eeds. Shudder is very dependent on road surface.
Torque Ri
pple
Torque rippl
e is a concern with Electric Power Steering (EPS) sy
stems. Torque ripple is most evident at static-park steering
the wheel very slowly from lock to lock. Torque ripple is primarily caused by motor commutation.
Torque/Veloc
ity Variation
(Phasing/Effort Cycling)
Steeri
ng wheel torque variation oc
curring twice in one revolution is normally as a result of problems with the lower steering
column (intermediate shaft), but foul cond itions generally result in either constant stiffnes s or single point stiffness.
Depending upon the orientation of the joints, the steering can fe el asymmetric (torque falling off in one direction and rising
in the other) or else it can simply have pronounced peaks and troughs as the steering moves from lock to lock.
Wheel Fight
(Kick Back)
W
heel fight is excess feedback of sudden road forces through th
e steering system and back to the driver. It is evaluated at
all vehicle speeds over cobblestones, rough roads, and potholes . The tires, wheels, and suspension generate forces into the
steering systems. Steering friction, hydraulic damping, hydr aulic compliance, mechanical compliance, steering ratio, and
assist gain all affect how much is transmitted to the driver.
Stee
ring Linkage
CAUTI
ON: Steering gear boots must be
handled carefully to avoid damage. Use new clamps when installing steering
gear boots.
Inspect the boots for cuts, deterioration, tw isting or distortion. Check the steering gear boots to make sure they are tight.
Install new boots or clamps as necessary.
• NOTE: The following steps must be carried out with assistance.
1. 1. With the wheels in the straight ahead po sition, gently turn the steering wheel to the left and the right to check for
free play.
2. 2. Free play should be between 0 and 6 mm (0 and 0.24 in) at the steering wheel rim. If the free play exceeds this
limit, either the ball joints are worn, the lower steering column joints are worn or the backlash of the steering gear
is excessive.

The functi
on of the parking aid is to prov
ide an audible warning to the driver of the distance to obstacles near the rear
bumper of the vehicle when parking or travelling at a slow sp eed. The system provides an assistance to the driver when
parking in order to help avoid collision with obstacles.
The sensor range at the rear of the vehicl e should be 1.8 meters. This should extend the full width of the rear bumper and
reduce to 50 cm at the vehicle co rners. The vertical range is adequate to protec t the highest and lowest points of the rear of
the vehicle. The system will detect curbs with heights of at least 18 cm. Obstacles, such as curbs, that are low enough to
pass under the vehicle until they make contact with the tires will not be detected.
The system activates a specific speaker with a tone signifying the distance to the obstacle. The tone consists of a beep and
defined space ratio which varies depending on the calculated distance. When the distance to the obstacle is less than 20 cm
the speaker tone is continuous.
The parking aid is continuously in operation, unless towing wh en the system automatically switches off. If the reverse aid
develops a fault the tone will sound continuously for three seconds when the igni tion is switched on or the reverse gear is
selected.
The parking aid system comprises of:
a
module mounted in the batte
ry junction box (BJB).
fou
r rear bumper mounted sensors which have a 90° angled electrical connector.
an audible speaker, moun

ted on
the rear parcel shelf.
