Service and Maintenance
• If your vehicle is equipped with
the same size tires on all four
wheels, they can be rotated.
To make your tires last longer,
have them inspected and
rotated at the mileages recommended
in your Maintenance
Schedule. Follow the diagram
above.
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, the
tire pressure monitor will need
to be reset. See your dealer for
service.
Make sure the wheel nuts are
properly tightened.
See "Specifications and Capacities"
later in this section.
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.
CAUTION
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can
cause the wheel to become
loose and even come off. This
could lead to an accident. Be
sure to use the correct wheel
nuts.
NOTICE
Improperly tightened wheel
nuts can lead to brake pulsation
and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly
tighten the wheel nuts in the
proper sequence and to the
proper torque specification.
See "Specifications and Capacities"
later in this section.
