The purpose
of
regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires
on
the
vehicle. The first
rotation is
the
most
important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in
the
Maintenance Schedule
booklet for scheduled rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always
use
the
correct
rotation pattern shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire
in
your
tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the
front and
rear inflation pressures as shown
on
the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts
are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque”
in
the Index.
I
A
CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on
a
wheel, or on the parts to which
it
is
fastened, can make wheel
nuts
become loose
after a 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 you
need to, to get all the rust or dirt
off.
