does not recommend. Or there will be
operational danger and the vehicle will
lose control.
Install the Snow Tire

stalled on front or rear wheels, because the dif-
ference between front and rear tire adherence

installed in the same direction.


rectly inflated snow tires.

ferent area and road type. So confirm

9. Inspect the Free Play of the
Steering Wheel, Clutch, and
Brake Pedal
Inspect the Steering Wheel Free Play
When the vehicle is in a straight-ahead line
(with car parked), rotate the steering wheel
right and left, and measure its free play on its
outer trim. The steering wheel should have a
certain free play if the steering system is in
normal condition. But the free play should not
exceed 30mm.
Notice
If the steering wheel free play is too big
or there is any other abnormal situation,
the vehicle should be sent to service or
service station for inspection and repair.
The vehicle should not be used any lon-
ger before repair.
