Soul L4-2.0L (2010)
6. While maintaining the sensor contact with the rim by applying pressure to the back of the valve, slightly press on the cap towards the center of the
wheel in order to adapt the angle of the valve/sensor to the profile of the rim. It is mandatory to guarantee the contact of the housing unit on the
rim drop center.
7. While maintaining the sensor unit and valve in position, screw the nut with a torque wrench.
Apply a torque of 7.5 - 8.5Nm (0.76 - 0.86kgf.m, 5.5 - 6.2lb-ft).
Take care that the wrench socket is correctly inserted on the nut.
8. Check the followings.
(1) It is normal that the seal washer becomes bent during the nut tightening.
(2) Check that the visible part of the antenna is not damaged or broken.
(3) The plastic bridge should neither be cracked nor broken. It is designed so that it will fracture due to an error in the assembly process (too high
torque, bad positioning......). Any defect must mean the rejection of the sensor.
Mounting of Tire
CAUTION:
-
Before any tire mounting operation, make sure that the sensor has been correctly mounted and tightened to the rim.
-
No lubricant product or any other material may partially or completely cover the air pressure inlet hole of the sensor.
-
The assembly tools have to never have a collision with the sensor.
-
The tire cannot be in contact with the sensor only after it is engaged in the rim and after the exceeded peak of traction. Therefore, generally at the
end of the assembly.
1. Prepare the tire and fix the rim as usual.
2. Put the tire on the rim, so that the cross point of the belt with the rim is between 15 and 20 cm away from the valve (see the picture).
