BRAKE
10) Check the pedal stroke.
Run the engine at idle after warming up the engine,
and depress the brake pedal with a force of 500 N
(51 kgf, 112 lb). Measure the distance between the
brake pedal and steering wheel. Release the pedal,
and measure the distance between pedal and
steering wheel again.
Specification of pedal stroke:
When depressing the pedal with a force of
500 N (51 kgf, 112 lb).
Less than 115 mm (4.53 in)
11) If the distance is more than specification, there
is a possibility of air being caught in the brake line.
Bleed the brake line of all air until the pedal stroke
meets the specification.
12) Operate the hydraulic control unit in the se-
quence control mode. quence Control.>
13) Check the pedal stroke again.
14) If the distance is more than specification, there
is a possibility of air being caught in the hydraulic
unit. Repeat above steps 2) to 9) until the pedal
stroke meets the specification.
15) Fill brake fluid up to the “MAX” level of the res-
ervoir tank.
16) Test run the vehicle and ensure that the brakes
operate normally.

tion with a force of approx. 10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb), and
check that the pedal deflection is in the range of
specifications.
CAUTION:
If excessive deflection is noted, replace with a
new bushing.
Deflection of brake pedal:
Limit
Less than 4.0 mm (0.157 in)
2) Check the position of the pedal pad.

2. Wheel Alignment
A: INSPECTION
Check the following items before performing the wheel alignment measurement.
Check items before measuring wheel alignment:
•Tire inflation pressure
•Uneven wear of RH and LH tires, or difference of sizes
•Tire runout
•Excessive play and wear of ball joint
•Excessive play and wear of tie rod end
•Excessive play of wheel bearing
•Right and left wheel base imbalance
•Deformation and excessive play of steering link
•Deformation and excessive play of suspension parts
Check, adjust and measure the wheel alignment in accordance with the procedures indicated in the figure.

1. WHEEL ARCH HEIGHT
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Empty the vehicle so that it is at “curb weight”. (Empty the luggage compartment, load the spare tire, jack
and service tools, and fill up the fuel tank.)
3) Set the steering wheel in a straight–ahead position, and stabilize the suspension by moving the vehicle in
a straight line for more than 5 m (16 ft).
4) Suspend a thread from the wheel arch (point “A” in the figure below) and affix at a position directly above
the center of wheel.
5) Measure the distance between the point “A” and the center of wheel.

4. STEERING ANGLE
•INSPECTION
•ADJUSTMENT
1) Turn the tie-rod to adjust the steering angle of
both inner and outer wheels.
2) Check the toe–in.
NOTE:
Correct the boot if it is twisted.
5. FRONT WHEEL TOE–IN
•INSPECTION
Toe-in:
0±3 mm (0±0.12 in)
1) Set the toe-in gauge in the position at wheel axis
center height behind the right and left front tires.
2) Place a mark at the center of both left and right
tires, and measure distance “A” between the
marks.
3) Move the vehicle forward to rotate the tires 180°.
NOTE:
Be sure to rotate the tires in the forward direction.
4) Measure distance “B” between the left and right
marks. Find toe–in using the following equation:
A – B = Toe–in
•ADJUSTMENT
When adjusting the toe-in, adjust it to the following
value.
Toe-in:
0±2 mm (0±0.08 in)
1) Check that the left and right wheel steering an-
gles are within specification.
2) Loosen the left and right side steering tie–rod
lock nuts.
3) Turn the left and right tie–rods by equal amounts
until the toe–in is at the specification.
Both the left and right tie–rods are right–hand
threaded. To increase toe–in, turn both tie–rods
clockwise by equal amount (viewing from the inside
of vehicle).
4) Tighten the tie–rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:
85 N·m (8.7 kgf-m, 62.7 ft-lb)
NOTE:
Check and correct the tie rod boot if twisted.
6. REAR WHEEL TOE–IN
