. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.

Check if there is no deformation on the
bearing.

. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.

(

“Wheels and tires” page 8-31)

. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel

rotates smoothly without any friction. Check
these with the tires removed whenever an
inspection is performed with the vehicle
jacked up.

. Make sure the tire has not slipped on the

wheel causing the assembly to be out of
balance. The reference marks on the tire and
wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires reba-
lanced. Make sure the old reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. When instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires. (

. Make sure that the TPMS sensor installation

nuts and the sensor valve are tight and there
is no nitrogen leak.

. Check for the heat deterioration of the

brakes and parts around the brakes.

. Check the condition of the brake pads and

disc rotors and replace them as necessary.

. Inspect to see whether the clearance

between the exhaust finisher and rear
bumper is maintained at above 0.24 in (6
mm) (up/down) and above 0.20 in (5 mm)
(left/right).

REFUELING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.

To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.

The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the
