8. Aluminum Wheel
A: INSPECTION
Inspection for aluminum wheels is basically the
same as the one for steel wheels. However, check
the rim flange for cracks or damage, and replace
(not repair) aluminum wheel if air leakage is found.
B: PRECAUTIONS
Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. To main-
tain their appearance and safety, do the following:
1) Do not damage aluminum wheels during
removal, disassembly, installation, wheel
balancing, etc. After removing aluminum wheels,
place them on a rubber mat, etc.
2) While vehicle is being driven, be careful not to
ride over sharp obstacles or allow aluminum
wheels to contact the shoulder of the road.
3) When installing tire chain, be sure to install it
properly not to have a slack; otherwise it may hit
wheel while driving.
4) When washing aluminum wheel, use neutral
synthetic detergent and water. Avoid using the
cleanser including abrasive, hard brushes or an
automatic car washer.
9. Wheel Balancing
1) Proper wheel balance may be lost if the tire is
repaired or if it wears. Check the tire for dynamic
balance, and repair as necessary.
2) To check for dynamic balance, use a dynamic
balancer. Drive in the balance weight on both the
top and rear sides of the rim.
3) Some types of balancer can cause damage to
the wheel. Use an appropriate balancer when
adjusting the wheel balance.
4) Use genuine balance weights.
CAUTION:
I55 g (1.94 oz) weight used with aluminum
wheel is not available.
IBalance weights are available for use with
any of 14- to 16-inch wheels.

ªT-typeº tire for temporary use is prepared as a
spare tire.
CAUTION:
IKeep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2
kg/cm
2, 60 psi) at all times.
IWhen the wear indicator appears on the
tread surface, replace the tire with a new one.
IDo not use a tire chain with the ªT-typeº tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will
not fit properly and will result in damage to the
vehicle and the tire.
IDo not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h
(50 MPH).
IDrive as slowly as possible and avoid pass-
ing over bumps.
IReplace with a conventional tire as soon as
possible since this ªT-typeº tire is only for tem-
porary use.
