Tire Inspection and
Rotation
We recommend that you
regularly inspect the vehicle’s
tires, including the spare tire, for
signs of wear or damage.
SeeWhen It Is Time for New
Tires on page 5-51for more
information.
Tires should be rotated every
5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to
13 000 km). SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 6-3.
The purpose of a regular tire
rotation is to achieve a uniform
wear for all tires on the
vehicle. This will ensure that the
vehicle continues to perform
most like it did when the
tires were new.
Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate the tires as soon
as possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels.SeeWhen It Is Time for New
Tires on page 5-51and
Wheel Replacement on
page 5-55.
When rotating the vehicle’s tires,
always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated,
adjust the front and rear ination
pressures as shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
SeeInflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-43andLoading the
Vehicle on page 4-18.Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. SeeTire Pressure
Monitor Operation on page 5-46.
Make certain that all wheel
nuts are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and Specifications on
page 5-81.
{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.

your dealer/retailer.Scheduled Maintenance
When the Change Engine Oil
light displays, service is required for
the vehicle. Have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible within
the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It
is possible that, if driving under the
best conditions, the engine oil
life system may not indicate that
vehicle service is necessary for over
a year. However, the engine oil
and lter must be changed at least
once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your
dealer/retailer has trained service
technicians who will perform
this work using genuine parts and
reset the system.If the engine oil life system is ever
reset accidentally, service the
vehicle within 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) since the last service.
Remember to reset the oil life
system whenever the oil is changed.
SeeEngine Oil Life System on
page 5-14for information on
the Engine Oil Life System and
resetting the system.
When the Change Engine Oil light
appears, certain services, checks,
and inspections are required.
Required services are described in
the following for “MaintenanceI”
and “MaintenanceII.” Generally, it is
recommended that the rst service
be MaintenanceI, the second
service be MaintenanceII, and then
alternate MaintenanceIand
MaintenanceIIthereafter. However,
in some cases, MaintenanceII
may be required more often.
