Inspection and Rotation
Check your tires and wheels
regularly for unusual wear or
damage.
Don't forget your spare tire (if
equipped).
To make your tires last longer,
have them inspected at the
mileages recommended in your
Maintenance Schedule.
Do not
rotate your tires if the front
and rear tires are different sizes.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
same size tires on all four wheels,
they can be rotated.
Follow the diagram above for the
correct rotation pattern.
Don’t include the compact spare
tire in your tire rotation.
After rotation, adjust the front and
rear tire pressures according to the
tire information label.
If you rotate your tires or replace
any of your tires or tire pressure
sensors, the tire pressure monitor
will need to be reset.
See "Tire Pressure Monitor"
earlier in this section for more
information.
CAUTION
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on
the parts to which it is fastened,
can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When you change
a wheel, remove any rust or dirt
from the places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, you could use a
cloth or a paper towel to do
this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if necessary,
to get all the rust or dirt off.
