CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
WHEELS : Rotation INFOID:0000000004683838
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-9 .
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAK S : On Board Inspection INFOID:0000000004683839
CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
• Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the standard (between MAX and MIN lines).
• Visually check around the reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for fluid leaks.
• Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leaks.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LE AKS : Drain and Refill INFOID:0000000004683840
CAUTION:
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, " Fluids and Lubricants " .
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, immediately wipe th em with cloth and wash it away with water.
• Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actua tor and electric unit (control unit) or battery
negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal, loosen the bleed valve, and gradually remove the brake fluid.Wheel nut : 113 N·m (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb) SMA829C

WHEEL HUB
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service INFOID:0000000004305854
• Check the axle and suspension parts for excessive play, wear, or damage.
• Shake each rear wheel to check for excessive play as shown.
REAR WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION • Move wheel hub and bearing assembly in the axial direction by hand. Make sure the axial end play is within specification.
• Check that the wheel hub bearing operates smoothly.
• Replace the wheel hub assembly if the axial end play e xceeds specification, or if the wheel bearing does not
turn smoothly. Refer to RAX-5, " Removal and Installation " .
CAUTION:
The wheel hub assembly does not requ ire maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
• Growling noise is emitted from th e wheel hub bearing during operation.
• Wheel hub bearing dr ags or turns roughly.
Removal and Installation INFOID:0000000004305855
COMPONENTS
REMOVAL 1. Remove tires from vehicle using power tool.
2. Remove wheel sensor from wheel hub and bearing assembly. Refer to BRC-32 .

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Rear Suspension INFOID:0000000004305875
• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and l ubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new caulking nuts for installation. New caulking nuts are pre-
oiled, do not apply any additional lubrication.

• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable align-
ment gauge.
• If it is out of the specificati on value, inspect and replace any dam-
aged or worn rear suspension parts.
