Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate the tires as soon as
possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See
When It Is Time for New Tires on
page 5-51
and Wheel
Replacement
on page 5-55.

When rotating the vehicle’s tires,
always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.

If the vehicle has a compact
spare tire, do not include it in the
tire rotation.

After the tires have been rotated,
adjust the front and rear inflation
pressures as shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
See Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-43
and Loading the
Vehicle
on page 4-16.

Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation
on page 5-46.

Make certain that all wheel
nuts are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and Specifications
on page 5-94.

CAUTION

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
the parts to which it is
fastened, can make wheel
nuts become loose after time.

CAUTION

(Continued)

The wheel could come off and
cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where
the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, you
can use a cloth or a paper
towel to do this; but be sure to
use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the
rust or dirt off. See Changing
a Flat Tire
on page 5-67.

Make sure the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, is stored
securely. Push, pull, and then
try to rotate or turn the tire.
If it moves, tighten the cable.
See Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools
on page 5-76.
