Maintenance

Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.

✽

✽ NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.

Wheel alignment and tire balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.

Without a spare tire

WARNING

• Do not use the compact spare

tire (if equipped) for tire rota-
tion.

ply tires under any circum-
stances.

This may cause

unusual handling characteris-
tics that could result in death,
severe injury, or property
damage.

CAUTION

Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's alu-
minum wheels.

Use only

approved wheel weights.
