With the introduction of 235R tires we would like to standardize the lock stop setting of all vehicles regardless of tire type. Therefore the process below must be followed when setting lock stops. Please update your Workshop Manuals accordingly.

The clearance between the tire and the radius arm should be approximately 20 mm.

During Pre-Delivery Inspection, check the lock stop clearances on vehicles fitted with 235R tires and adjust settings as necessary following the process detailed below.
