MAINTENANCE VEHICLE EXTERIOR
CHECK/ADJUST HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Check/adjust headlamp and auxiliary alignment.
CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Use recognised wheel alignment equipment to
perform this check and adjustment.
See STEERING,
Adjustment, Front Wheel Alignment
REMOVE WHEELS, CHECK TYRES
Check tyres (including spare) for compliance with
manufacturers' specification.
Check visually for cuts, lumps, bulges, uneven tread
wear and tread depth. Check road wheels for
damage.
Check/adjust tyre pressures.
CHECK/TIGHTEN TOWING BRACKET FITTINGSINSPECT BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR, CALIPERS
FOR LEAKS AND CONDITION
Check thickness of brake pads, fit new pads if
minimum thickness is less than 3,0mm. Check brake
pads for oil contamination. If new brake pads required.
See BRAKES, Repair, Front Brake Pads
or.See BRAKES, Repair, Rear Brake Pads
WARNING: When renewing brake pads, it
is essential that only genuine components
with correct grade of lining are used.
Always fit new pads as complete axle sets, NEVER
individually or as a single wheel set. Serious
consequences could result from out of balance
braking due to mixing of linings.
Refit road wheels
Fit road wheels in original hub position. Secure in
position with wheel nuts, do not fully tighten wheel
nuts at this stage, lower vehicle and finally tighten
wheel nuts to correct torque.

REPAIR GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: This is a multi- purpose vehicle
with wheels and tyres designed for both
on and off road usage. Only use wheels
and tyres specified for use on the vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with tubeless 'S','T' or 'H'
rated radial ply tyres as standard equipment. The
tyres are of European metric size and must not be
confused with the "P" size metric tyres available in
North America.
Vehicle wheel sets, including spare wheel, must be
fitted with the same make and type of tyre to the
correct specification and tread pattern. Under no
circumstances must cross-ply or bias-belted tyres be
used.
For tyre specification and pressures.
See GENERAL
SPECIFICATION DATA, Information, Wheels and
Tyres
Alloy Wheels
Tubeless tyres are mounted on 7.0 inch wide by 16
inch diameter cast aluminium alloy wheels.The
surface has a paint finish covered with a clear
polyurethane lacquer. Care must be taken when
handling the wheel to avoid scratching or chipping the
finish.
The alloy wheel rim is of the asymmetric hump
type incorporating a safety hump to improve
location of the tyre bead in its seat. If difficulty is
experienced in fitting tyres to this type of rim.
See
Tyre Fitting
WARNING: Do not fit an inner tube to an
alloy wheel.
Steel wheels
Tubeless tyres are mounted on 7.0 inch wide by 16
inch diameter steel wheels.TYRE INSPECTION
Inspect tyres at weekly intervals to obtain maximum
tyre life and performance and to ensure compliance
with legal requirements. Check for signs of incorrect
inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a need
for balancing or front wheel alignment.
See Fault
diagnosis, Tyre Wear Chart
if the tyres have
abnormal or uneven wear patterns.
Check tyres at least weekly for cuts, abrasions, bulges
and for objects embedded in the tread. More frequent
inspections are recommended when the vehicle is
regularly used in off road conditions.
To assist tyre inspection, tread wear indicators are
moulded into the bottom of the tread grooves, as
shown in the illustration below.
When the tread has worn to a remaining depth of 1.6
mm the indicators appear at the surface as bars which
connect the tread pattern across the width of the tread
as shown in the illustration below.

REPAIR When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent
grooves, at three locations around the tyre, a new tyre
must be fitted.
NOTE: Do not attempt to interchange
tyres, e.g. from front to rear, as tyre wear
produces characteristic patterns
depending on their position. If tyre position is
changed after wear has occured, the performance
of the tyre will be adversely affected.
NOTE: Territorial vehicle regulations
governing tyre wear MUST be adhered to.
WHEELS INSPECTION
Regularly check the condition of the wheels. Replace
any wheel that is bent, cracked, dented or has
excessive runout.
VALVES INSPECTION
Check condition of inflation valve. Replace any valve
that is worn, cracked, loose, or leaking air.TYRE PRESSURES
Maximum tyre life and performance will be
obtained only if tyres are maintained at the correct
pressures.
Tyre pressures must be checked at least once a
month and at least once a week, preferably daily, if
the vehicle is used off road.
The tyre inflation pressure is calculated to give the
vehicle satisfactory ride and steering characteristics
without compromising tyre tread life. For
recommended tyre pressures in all conditions.
See
GENERAL SPECIFICATION DATA, Information,
Wheels and Tyres
American vehicles - A label attached to the inside
edge of the driver's door also provides tyre pressure
information.
Always check tyre inflation pressures using an
accurate gauge and inflate tyres to the
recommended pressures only.
Check and adjust tyre pressuresONLYwhen the
tyres are cold, vehicle parked for three hours or more,
or driven for less than 3.2 km (2 miles) at speeds
below 64 km/h (40 mph). Do not reduce inflation
pressures if the tyres are hot or the vehicle has been
driven for more than 3.2 km (2 miles) at speeds over
64 km/h (40 mph), as pressures can increase by 0.41
bars (6 p.s.i) over cold inflation pressures.
CheckALLtyre pressures including the spare. Refit
the valve caps as they form a positive seal and keep
dust out of the valve.
