• Use genuine balance weight.



Adhesive-type Balance Weight (Outer side)

1.Remove the balance weight from the wheel.

2.Remove the double-sided adhesive tape left on the wheel and remove any grease and dirt from the adhesive surface.

3.Measure the unbalance amount and the balance weight attachment position using the wheel balancer.

4.Select the balance weight equivalent to the measured unbalance amount (weight).

5.Affix the selected balance weight to the balance weight affixing position (outer side) displayed by the wheel balancer.

Caution
• Completely attach the balance weight by pressing it with 25 N {2.5 kgf, 5.6 lbf} or more of force per 5 g {0.2 oz} for 2 s or more.
• Do not install four or more weights. (VIN: Except 3M **)
• Do not install three or more weights. (VIN: 3M **)
• Do not attach the balance weights in parallel or stack them.
• One weight is 120 g {4.23 oz} or less and three weights are 160 g {5.64 oz} or less. (VIN: Except 3M **)
• One weight is 120 g {4.23 oz} or less and two weights are 120 g {4.23 oz} or less. (VIN: 3M **)

Knock-type Balance Weight (Inner Side)

1.Measure the unbalance weight and the balance weight clipping point using the wheel balancer.

2.Select the balance weight equivalent to the measured unbalance amount (weight).

Note
• Select the balance weight so that the weight is nearest to the calculated value.
Ex.1) 32.4 g {1.14 oz} (calculated value) 30 g {1.06 oz} (weight of balance weight to be selected)
Ex.2) 32.5 g {1.15 oz} (calculated value) 35 g {1.23 oz} (weight of balance weight to be selected)

3.Install the selected balance weight to the balance weight clipping position (inner side) displayed on the wheel balancer.

Caution
