Front Toe-in 0°25' ±10'
Toe At 20° Turn (Elegance/Sport) 0°45' ±30'

Front Camber






Procedure: Measure front axle level and obtain camber value from the table.
Tolerance ±20'
Maximum deviation between left and right 20'
Example: Front axle level (20 mm or 4.9°) = camber value (-0°39' ± 20')

Front Caster (VA=Front Axle Level; HA=Rear Axle Level)







Procedure: Measure front and rear axle level and obtain the front axle caster value (measured with the wheels turned 20°) from the table.
Tolerance ±30'
Maximum deviation between left and right 30'
Example: Front axle level (20 mm or 4.9°) + Rear axle level (5 mm or -0.2°) = caster value (4°58' ±30')


Rear Toe-in 0°33' ±7'
