1. Tire pressure adjustment method when warm (w/ Tire Pressure Warning System):
   

   1. Turn the engine switch off.
      
   2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
      
   3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      
   4. Turn the GTS on.
      
   5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.
      
   6. Adjust the tire pressure so that the displayed value is equal to the set pressure.
      
   7. Perform initialization and check that initialization completes.
      (Click here)
      
   8. Check and record the value of the Data List item "Temperature in Tire". (Ts)
      
   9. Check and record the ambient temperature during tire pressure adjustment. (Tm)
      
   10. Readjust the tire pressure according to the difference between the tire internal temperature (Ts) and the ambient temperature (Tm). (P)
       

       HINT:

       Tire internal temperature: Ts, Ambient temperature: Tm, Tire pressure readjustment value: PP = (Specified Pressure) + (Ts - Tm)

   11. Check the pressure adjustment value with the Data List item "Tire Inflation Pressure".
       

   NOTICE:

   Check the tire pressure warning system description for the relationship between the inflation pressure and tire pressure warning pressure.

Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

Tire runout:

3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less

HINT:

Remove the wheel assembly from the vehicle, and measure the wheel assembly alone.

Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

Torque:

for Aluminum Wheel:

131 N*m{1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf}

for Steel Wheel:

209 N*m{2131 kgf*cm, 154 ft.*lbf}

for Steel Wheel Type:
Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

Standard Imbalance After Adjustment:

12 g (0.0265 lb) or less

HINT:

If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.

for Aluminum Wheel Type:
Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

NOTICE:

1. Use a cleaning detergent to remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be attached.
   
2. Do not touch the adhesive surface of the tape.
   
3. Attach a sticking-type balance weight to the flat surface (A) shown in the illustration.
   

   Width (A):

   20 mm (0.787 in.)
   

4. Push the balance weight firmly so that it securely adheres to the position.
   
5. Do not reuse the balance weight.
   

HINT:

If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.
