Simple inspection and service
CAUTION
•
Break in new tires by driving 200 km (125
miles) or longer at 60 km/h (37 MPH) or
slower. After the break-in driving period,
check the tire pressure of each of the new
tires.
•
If using different tread patterns on the front
and rear wheels, select tires with a ribbed
tread for the front wheels and tires with a
traction-type tread for the rear wheels.
NOTE:
When tires are new, they tend to generate heat and
wear more quickly.
1 Replacing wiper blade
Raise wiper arm and then loosen the two screws.
Replace wiper blade with a new genuine wiper
blade.
CAUTION
•
Do not bring the wiper arms back into posi-
tion or operate the wipers without wiper
blades, as this could scratch the windshield.
•
Never operate the wipers and washer with
the wiper arms raised. The arms could be
damaged.
WARNING
•
Be sure to use the specified type of tires.
Mixing bias and radial tires results in poor
steering and should be avoided at all
costs.
•
As the vehicle is driven after a wheel has
been replaced, the wheel nuts loosen up
somewhat during the early stages of driv-
ing due to “wear-in”. Therefore, it is neces-
sary to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 50 to 100 km
(30 to 60 miles) Thereafter, retighten the
nuts at regular intervals.
