Tire Inspection and Rotation
The tires on your vehicle should be inspected regularly
for wear. Also check for damaged tires or wheels.
See
When It Is Time for New Tires on page 6-63 and
Wheel Replacement on page 6-67 for additional
information.
If your vehicle has P235/50R18 size tires they should
be rotated any time you notice unusual wear.
When rotating P235/50R18 size 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 6-58 and Loading Your Vehicle on page 5-33 .
Vehicles that have 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 6-67 and “Wheel Nut
Torque” under Capacities and Specifications on
page 6-92 .
{
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.
