Tire and Wheel Alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or

pothole can cause the front end
of your vehicle to become
misaligned or cause damage to
your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you’re
driving, the wheels may be out of
alignment. Have an authorized
dealer check the wheel alignment
periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and

should be corrected by an
authorized dealer. Front-wheel

drive vehicles and those with an

independent rear suspension (if

equipped) may require alignment
of all four wheels.
The tires should also be balanced

periodically. An unbalanced tire

and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.

Tire Rotation

Note: If your tires show uneven
wear, ask an authorized dealer to

check for and correct any wheel
misalignment, tire imbalance or

mechanical problem involved

before tire rotation.

Note: Your vehicle may be

equipped with a dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly. A

dissimilar spare wheel and tire

assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is
different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels. If you have a dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.

Note: After having your tires
rotated, inflation pressure must be

checked and adjusted to the

vehicle requirements.
Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval (as

indicated in the Scheduled

Maintenance chapter) will help

your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance

and longer tire life.
