should only be performed once the corre-
sponding maintenance service has been
carried out. Resetting the ASSYST service
interval display without performing the cor-
responding maintenance service may
result in engine damage and/or damage to
other vehicle parts that are not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Tire rotation
Your vehicle's tires are a critical component
to overall vehicle performance and stability.
The useful life of tires will vary and is propor-
tional to tire type, speed rating, ambient con-
ditions, tire loads, tire inflation pressure, road
surfaces, and individual driving style. We
therefore recommend regularly checking the
tires for wear and correct tire pressure, and -
if the tire configuration allows - that the tires
are rotated regularly.
Tires can only be rotated on vehicles with the
same tire size on the front and rear axles.
If your vehicle's tire configuration allows for
tire rotation, tire rotation should be per-
formed in accordance with the recommended
intervals, or sooner at the first signs of irreg-
ular (uneven) tread wear. Tire rotation rec-
ommendations will likely necessitate a tire
rotation at least at every maintenance
service.
Single tires at rear If your vehicle is equipped with tires of the
same size, tires can be rotated by following a
front-to-rear rotation pattern that will main-
tain the intended rotation (spinning) direction
of the tire (on unidirectional tires, an arrow on
the sidewall indicates the intended rotation
or spinning direction of the tire).
Dual tires at the rear If your vehicle is equipped with tires of the
same size, the tires on the front axle can be
rotated with the inner tires on the rear axle in
pairs so that the intended rotation (spinning) direction of the tires remains the same. If the
tread pattern on the tires is not unidirectional,
the outer tires on the rear axle can be rotated
from one side to the other. Diagram showing tire rotation for single and dual
tires
This Maintenance Booklet contains a practi-
cal tire rotation confirmation page, which you
can use to record the date and mileage for
every tire rotation (Y
page 5). Arduous operating conditions
The maintenance intervals have been deter-
mined so that under normal operating condi-
tions the vehicle should operate properly
between maintenance services. Arduous
operating conditions may require that the fol-
lowing parts be replaced at shorter intervals:
R INTERIOR FILTERS
(Examples: dust filter, recirculating air fil-
ter, activated charcoal filter or combination
filter) are to be replaced as indicated by the
maintenance computer. Under severe dust
conditions, or if the climate control is oper-
ated frequently in air recirculation mode,
the filters should be replaced more fre-
quently than indicated by the maintenance
computer.
R COOLANT
The coolant (water/anticorrosion/anti-
freeze mixture) should be replaced at the
specified maintenance intervals.
The coolant may need to be replaced more
frequently if it is not maintained correctly Introduction
