The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear
for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet for scheduled rotation intervals.
When rotating
your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern
shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare
tire in your tire rotation. After
the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut Torque” in
the Index.
A 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
an accident. 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 I
sure to use a scraper or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get
all the rust or dirt off. (See I
“Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index.)
