CAUTION!

(Continued)

Observe the traction device manufacturer’s instruc-

tions on the method of installation, operating
speed, and conditions for use. Always use the
suggested operating speed of the device manufac-
turer’s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).

Do not use traction devices on a compact spare tire.

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at

different loads and perform different steering, handling,

and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at

unequal rates.

These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.

The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with

aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off-Road

type tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to main-

tain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to

a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper

maintenance intervals. More frequent rotation is permis-

sible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual

wear should be corrected prior to rotation being per-

formed.
