General Description
Tires
This vehicle is equipped with following tire.
Tire size
: 205/70 R15 or 175/80 R15
The tires are of tubeless type. The tires are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressure.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life Heavy cornering, excessively
rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Wheels
Standard equipment wheels are following steel wheels.
15 x 5 1/2 JJ
Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride, handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilopascal (kPa).
Tire pressures will usually be printed in both kPa and psi on the
Tire Placard. Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The following chart, converts commonly used inflation pressures
from kPa to psi. WARNING:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except
in emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.

Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have excessive
lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds, have elongated
bolt holes, if lug nuts won’t stay tight, or if they are heavily rusted.
Wheels with greater runout than shown in “How to Measure
Wheel Runout” may cause objectional vibrations.
Wheels for replacement must be equivalent to the originally
equipped wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, off-set and
mounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or type may
affect wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer / odom-
eter calibration, ground clearance to the body and chassis.
How To Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use accurate dial
indicator. The tire may be on or off the wheel. The wheel should
be installed to the wheel balancer of the like for proper measure-
ment.Take measurements of both lateral runout (1) and radial
runout (2) at both inside and outside of the rim flange. With dial
indicator set in place securely, turn the wheel one full revolution
slowly and record every reading of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification and correc-
tion by the balancer adjustment is impossible, replace the wheel.
If the reading is affected by welding, paint or scratch, it should be
ignored.
Lateral runout limit
“a” : 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
Radial runout limit
“b” : 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
Metric Lug Nuts and Wheel Studs
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs.
Metric lug nuts and wheel studs size
: M12 x 1.25

Diagnosis
Diagnosis Table
Refer to “Diagnosis Table” in Section 3.
Balancing Wheels
There are two types of wheel and tire balance: static and
dynamic. Static balance, as shown in figure, is equal distribution
of weight around wheel. Wheels that are statically unbalanced
cause bouncing action called tramp. This condition will eventually
cause uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance, as shown in left figure, is equal distribution of
weight on each side of wheel centerline so that when the tire
spins there is no tendency for the assembly to move from side to
side. Wheels that are dynamically unbalanced may cause
shimmy.
General Balance Procedure
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from inside of rim.
Tire should be inspected for any damage, then balanced according to equipment manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion.
Off-vehicle balancing
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate than on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to use
and give a dynamic (two plane) balance. Although they do not correct for drum or disc unbalance as does on-
vehicle spin balancing, this is overcome by their accuracy, usually to within 1/8 ounce.
On-vehicle balancing
On-vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment and tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each manufac-
turer’s instructions during balancing operation.
1. Heavy spot wheel tramp [A] : Before correction
2. Balance weights addition point [B] : Corrective weights
3. C/L of spindle
1. Heavy spot wheel shimmy [C] : Before correction
2. Balance weights addition point [D] : Corrective weights
3. C/L of spindle
WARNING:
Stones should be removed from tread in order to avoid operator injury during spin balancing and to
obtain good balance.

Tire
Mounting and demounting
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use
hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with approved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35 psi) so that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure to speci-
fied shown on tire placard.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
Repair
There are many different materials and techniques on the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from the tire manufacturer.WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety hump and
cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat
beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break and cause serious
personal injury.

Diagnosis
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road test
brakes by making brake applications with both light and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to determine if the
vehicle stops evenly and effectively.
Also drive vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without brake application. If it does, check the tire
pressure, front end alignment and front suspension attachments for looseness. See diagnosis table for other
causes.
Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining wear,
an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the system. In such a case, check the entire brake system for leak-
age. If even a slight evidence of leakage is noted, the cause should be corrected or defective parts should be
replaced.
If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of reservoir, refilling is necessary. Fill reservoir with specified brake
fluid.
Brake fluid: Refer to reservoir tank cap.
Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components
in the hydraulic system to deteriorate.
If primary piston cups are swollen, then rubber parts have deteriorated. This deterioration may also be evi-
denced by swollen wheel cylinder piston cups on the drum brake wheels.
If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts with
compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings. If excessive fluid is
found, replace the linings.
If master cylinder piston seals are satisfactory, check for leakage or excessive heat conditions. If condition is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed the system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to contaminated fluid.CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-filled with brake fluid indicated on reservoir tank cap, do
not use or mix different type of fluid when refilling; otherwise serious damage will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any fluid from a unsealed container.
