TIRE WEAR
1.Measure the tread depth of the tires.
Tread depth [limit] : 1.6 mm (0.063 in)
2. If the remaining tread(A) depth is less than the limit, replace the tire.
When the tread depth of the tires is less than 1.6 mm (0.063 in), the wear indicators(B) will appear.
TIRE ROTATION
Rotate the tires in the pattern illustrated.
CHECKING FOR PULL AND WANDER
If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation procedure.
1. Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability.

2.If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again.
3.If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform a road test.
4.If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When using commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment (caster, camber, toe) to inspect the
front wheel alignment, always position the car on a level surface with the front wheels facing straight ahead.
Prior to inspection, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and
that the wheels and tires face straight ahead and the tires are inflated to the specified pressure.
TOE
Toe is a measurement of how much the front of the wheels are turned in or out from the straight- ahead position.
Item Description
A - B < 0 Positive (+) toe (toe in)
A - B > 0 Negative ( - ) toe (toe out)
When the wheels are turned in toward the front of the vehicle, toe is positive (+) (toe in). When the wheels are turned
out toward the front of the vehicle, toe is negative(- ) (toe out). Toe is measured in degrees, from side to side, and
totaled.
[FRONT]
Toe- in(B - A or angle a+b) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turnbuckles. Toe- in on the left front wheel can be reduced
by turning the tie rod toward the rear of the car. Toe- in change is adjusted by turning the tie rods for the right and left
heels simultaneously at the same amount as follows.
Standard value :
Toe- in (B- A) mm (in) : 0 ± 2 (0 ± 0.0787)
a. Toe- in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods at the same amount.
b. When adjusting toe - in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows.
c. After the adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts firmly and reinstall the bellows clip.
d. Adjust each toe - in to be the range of ±1mm.
Tie rod(A) Specified torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
70 ~ 80 (7 ~ 8, 50.6 ~ 57.8)

11.Remove the four mounting bolts (A) of the parking brake wire bracket from the rear cross member.
12.Remove the rear wheels and tires from the rear hubs.
13. Remove the hub cap (A) and the disc (B).
14.Remove the hub nut (A) and washer (B) and remove the rear hub (C).
15.Remove the shoe hold down pin and spring (A) by pressing and rotating the spring.

9.Install the hub cap (A) and the disc (B).
10. Install the rear wheels and tires from the rear hubs.
11. Tighten the parking brake adjusting nut.
12. Install the parking brake wire and the pedal assembly.
ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENT OF REAR BRAKE SHOE CLEARANCE
1. Raise the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
2. Remove the rear wheel and tire from the rear hub.
3. After removing the plug from the disc, rotate the toothed wheel by a screw driver until the disc is not moving, and
then return it by 5 notches.
ADJUSTMENT PRECEDURE OF DIH FOOT PARKING BRAKE
1.Adjust the adjusting nut (A) so that parking pedal stoke is to be 88 ~ 98 mm(3.46 ~ 3.86 in) when operating effort
is 200 N(20 kgf, 44 lb) after full stroke operation of parking pedal over 3 times for setting parking wire.

STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
Phenomenon Explanation
System check sound When starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming
from inside the engine compartment. This is because the system operation check
is being performed.
ABS operation sound a.Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation (whine).
b. Sound is generated along with vibration of the brake pedal (scraping).
c. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to
repeated brake application and release
(Thump : suspension; squeak: tires)
ABS operation (Long braking
distance) For road surfaces such as snow- covered and gravel roads, the braking distance
for vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles.
Accordingly, advise the customer to drive safely on such roads by lowering the
vehicle speed.
Diagnosis detection conditions can vary depending on the diagnosis code. When checking the trouble symptom after
the diagnosis code has been erased, ensure that the requirements listed in "Comment" are met.
SCAN TOOL (PRO) CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Connector the Scan tool to the 16P data link connector located the driver's side kick panel.

INSPECTION
SPEEDOMETER
1. Adjust the pressure of the tires to the specified level.
2. Drive the vehicle onto a speedometer tester. Use wheel chocks as appropriate.
3. Check if the speedometer indicator range is within the standard values.
Do not operate the clutch suddenly or increase/ decrease speed rapidly while testing.
