Tire rotation diagram
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend its
service life, you are recommended to
rotate tire positions every 10,000 km.
However, the most appropriate timing
for tire rotation depends on driving
habit and road surface conditions.
WARNING
●Do not include a spare tire when
rotating the tires.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire ination
pressure, improper wheel alignment,
out-of-balance wheels, or severe
braking.
Choose Tire Chain
Use the tire chains of correct size.
Regulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary according to location or
type of road, so always check the local
regulations before installing chains.
Install Tire Chain
Install the chains on the front tires
as tightly as possible. Do not use tire
chains on the rear tires. Retighten
chains after driving 0.5-1.0 km(1/4-1/2
mile).
When installing tire chain, carefully
follow the instructions of the chain
manufacturer
If wheel covers are used, they will
be scratched by the chain band, so
remove the covers before putting on
the chains.
WARNING
y
Do not exceed 50 km/h or
the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
y
Drive carefully avoiding bumps,
holes, and sharp turns, which
may cause the vehicle to bounce.
y
Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel
braking, as use of chains may
adversely affect vehicle handling.
y
When driving with chains
installed, be sure to drive
carefully. Slow down before
entering curves to avoid losing
control of the vehicle. Otherwise
an accident may occur.
