Check the inflation pressure of the tires. If it is not within the
standard value, make the necessary adjustment.
W
ear indicator
53YJlO
TIRE WEAR CHECKM31FBAB
Measure the tread depth of tires.
Limit: 1.6 mm
(.06 in.)
If the remaining tread depth is less than the limit, replace the
tire.
NOTE
When the tread depth of tires is reduced to 1.6 mm LO6 in.) or
less, wear indicators will appear.
WHEEL RUNOUT CHECKWlFcAB
Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels are clear of the floor.
While slowly turning the wheel, measure wheel runout
with a
dial indicator.

31-6WHEEL AND TIRE - Wheel and Tire
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALUMINUM TYPE WHk&g
1. Aluminum is vulnerable to alkalies. If
a vehicle washing
detergent has been used, or salt from sea water or road
chemicals has adhered, wash the vehicle as soon as
possible. After washing the vehicle, apply body or wheel
wax to the aluminum type wheels to prevent corrosion.
2.When cleaning the vehicle with steam, do not direct steam
onto the aluminum type wheels.
When tightening nuts for aluminum type wheels, particular- ly observe the following:
(I) Clean the hub surface of aluminum type wheels.
(2) After finger-tightening wheel nuts, tighten them to specifications.
(3) Do not use an impact wrench or push the wrench by foot to tighten the wheel nuts.
(4) Do not apply oil to the threaded portions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIRE CHAINS AND SNOW
TIRES M31GGbl
1.Use tire chains only on front wheels. Do not use tire chains
on rear wheels.
2. When using snow tires, use them on all four wheels for maneuverability and safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPACT SPARE TlR,E,,,,
1. The compact spare tire is designed to save space in theluggage compartment, and its lighter weight makes it
easier to use if a flat tire occurs.
2.The following instructions for the compact spare tire should be observed.
(1) Check the inflation pressure after installing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure.
(2) Avoid driving through automatic car washes and over obstacles that could possibly damage the vehicle’s
undercarriage. Because the tire is smaller than the
original tire, car ground clearance is slightly reduced.
(3) The compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the compact spare
wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items
or other vehicle components may occur.
