Pre-Alignment Checks

For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these checks:

1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.

   Tire size: 

   Front/Rear: 

   • Except SC model: P215/70R16 99S 
   • SC model: P225/55R18 97H 

   Tire pressure (at cold) 

   Except SC model: 

   • Front: 230 kPa (2.3 kgf/cm ²  , 33 psi) 
   • Rear: 240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm ²  , 35 psi) 

   SC model: 

   • Front/Rear: 220 kPa (2.2 kgf/cm ²  , 32 psi) 
4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires (see WHEEL RUNOUT INSPECTION  ).
5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a tire with your hands, and move it up and down and right and left to check for wobbling.)
