5. Remove the steering wheel & Refit it so that spokes & mascot (T-emblem) are correctly positioned. 6. Ensure that both front tyres are in straight ahead position. Tighten the steering wheel nut to specified torque. 7. Adjust toe-out as given below. b. Toe-out is adjusted varying the lengths of tie rods after loosening their lock nuts (as shown in above figure). After adjusting the length of tie rods recheck toe-in and tighten back the lock nuts. Increasing length of tie rod will reduce the toe-out and viceversa. c. While adjusting toe-out, adjust the length of both tie rods by rotating them in the same direction such that their length remains equal at all times. 8. Check the position of the T-emblem and the spokes if the steering wheel is not centered, adjust the tie rod lengths by reducing one and increasing the other so that in the SAP (Straight Ahead Parked) condition the toe is correct and yet steering wheel is centered. WHEEL ALIGNMENT VALUES (In unladen condition) NOTE If toe is excessively out of limit, first adjust • toe, then the camber and then adjust toe again. Not following the sequence i.e. first camber • and then toe out will lead to incorrect wheel alignment even though individual adjustments are done correctly. After setting/adjusting steering geometry (i.e. • Toe), connect the diagnostic tool and follow the instruction for ECU learning. This is applicable for all variants fitted with EPAS. FRONT REAR Caster 3.7° ± 45’ - Camber -26’ ± 26’ -52’ ± 30’ Toe In 10’ ± 5’ -3’ to + 27’ Toe Out - - Camber angle deviation (Between LH & RH) 20‘ 20‘ Toe angle deviation (Between LH & RH) 13’ NOTE It is recommended to set toe & camber • values at mid of the specification range. It is recommended to have minimum • difference between LH & RH set camber values. The difference between LH & RH set values should be within 20’ maximum. While removal and re-fitment of steering rack • and pinion assembly or replacing the tie rods on the vehicle, the above procedure should be followed before going in for actual wheel alignment.
