SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE391
Tire Rotation Recommendations
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles
operate at different loads and perform different
steering, driving, and braking functions. For
these reasons, they wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation
of tires. The benefits of rotation are especially
worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such
as those on On/Off Road type tires. Rotation will
increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow,
and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride. Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the proper
maintenance intervals. More frequent rotation
is permissible if desired. The reasons for any
rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior
to rotation being performed.

Tire Rotation

NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles only, if your vehicle is
equipped with All-Season type tires on the front
and On/Off Road type tires mounted on the
rear, do not use a front to back rotation pattern.
Instead, rotate your tires side to side at the
recommended intervals.
Dual Rear Wheels

Tire Rotation

The tires used on dual wheel assemblies should
be matched for wear to prevent overloading one
tire in a set. To check if tires are even, lay a
straight edge across all four tires. The straight
edge should touch all the tires.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Information System (TPIS):
The Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS)
uses unique sensors in the inner rear wheels
to help identify them from the outer rear
wheels, because of this, the inner and outer
wheel locations can’t be switched.
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer’s if it is less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
CAUTION! (Continued)

398TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Torque Specifications
**Use only authorized dealer recommended
lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove any dirt or
oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion or
loose particles.
NOTE:
Dual wheels are flat mounted, center piloted.
The lug nuts are a two-piece assembly. When
the tires are being rotated or replaced, clean
these lug nuts and add two drops of oil at the interface between the hex and the washer.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on the
lug nut/bolt (do not insert it half way).

Oil Interface Location

Do not oil wheel studs. For chrome wheels, do
not substitute with chrome plated wheel nuts.

Wheel Mounting Surface
Retighten the wheel nuts in the same sequence
to the torques listed in the table. Go through the
sequence a second time to verify that specific
torque has been achieved. Retighten to specifi
-
cations after 25 miles (40 km) and check the
lug nut/bolt torque to be sure that all the lug
nuts/bolts are properly seated against the
wheel.

8/10 Lug Nuts/Bolts Torque Patterns

It is recommended that wheel stud nuts be kept
torqued to specifications at all times. Torque
wheel stud nuts to specifications at each lubri -
cation interval.

After pressing Next, the Tire Pressure screen appears. The default for this option is 50 PSI (344 kPa), however the range is selectable anywhere
between 25–125 PSI (172–862 kPa). Once PSI (kPa) is programmed the pairing screen appears. Tire sensors must be paired in order shown. Starting
with Tire 1, deflate tire by 5 PSI (34 kPa) and wait for a horn chirp. Repeat process until complete. Do not exit the pairing screen until process is
complete. If pairing has been unsuccessful, a double horn chirp will sound, and a prompt on the touchscreen will allow you to retry the procedure
“Retry” will only appear when setup fails. Each tire must be successfully paired during a single pairing process to receive the success screen. Trailer Name List of Trailer Names
