Tire Inspection and Rotation
Your vehicle’s tires should be inspected regularly for
wear. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate
your 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 6-58 and
Wheel Replacement on page 6-62 for additional
information.
When rotating your vehicle’s tires, always use the
correct rotation pattern shown here.
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 6-54 and Loading Your Vehicle on page 5-33.
Vehicles equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
system will need to have the sensors reset after a
tire rotation is performed. A special tool is needed to
reset the sensor identification codes. See your dealer for
service. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See Wheel Replacement on page 6-62
and “Wheel Nut Torque” under Capacities and
Specifications on page 6-86.
{
CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause a crash. 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 you need to, to get all the
rust or dirt off.
