Check the pressure with agauge often and always
prior to long distance trips. Adjust the pressure in all
tyres, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tyre rotation*:
In the case of Two-Wheel Drive (2WD), and where
front and rear tyres are the same size: tyres should
be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). Tyres
marked with directional indicators can only be ro-
tated between front and rear. Make sure that the
directional indicators point in the direction of wheel
rotation after the tyre rotation is completed.
In the case of the Four-Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive (4WD/AWD), and where front and rear tyres
are the same size: tyres should be rotated every
5,000 km (3,000 miles). Tyres marked with direc-
tional indicators can only be rotated between front
and rear. Make sure that the directional indicators
point in the direction of wheel rotation after the tyre
rotation is completed.
In the case that front tyres are different size from
rear tyres: tyres cannot be rotated.
The timing for tyre rotation may vary according to
your driving habits and the road surface conditions. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components (where fitted):
