id0211008005a2

Caution
•  If the vehicle height on a winch or towbar (bullbar or similar accessory) equipped vehicle is adjusted, it is possible that the vehicle height will drop below specification again or the tires will be subject to uneven wear. Without adjusting the vehicle height, adjust only the difference between the left and right sides and perform a wheel alignment to specification.

1.  Place the vehicle on level ground.

2.  Inspect the front and rear tire pressure and adjust it as necessary.

3.  Measure the distance from the center of each front wheel to the fender brim.
