When rotating your tires, always use one of the
correct rotation patterns shown here.
If your vehicle has a compact spare tire or a spare
tire that does not match your vehicle’s road tires
and wheels, in size and type, do not include
the spare in the tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear in ation pressures as shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. For the location
of the Tire and Loading Information label see
Loading Your Vehicle on page 286. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened, see
“Wheel Nut Torque” underCapacities and
Speci cations on page 430for the proper wheel
nut torque speci cation.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after 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 sure to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust or dirt
off. SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 394.
Any time you rotate the vehicle’s tires the Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will need to be
reset. The TPMS identi cation codes will need
to be matched to the tire and wheel position. See
“TPMS Sensor Identi cation Codes” underTire
Pressure Monitor System on page 378.
