Tires*:
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875
Check the pressure with a gauge often and always
prior to long distance trips. Adjust the pressure in all
tires, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tire rotation*:
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875
In the case that Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) and front and
rear tires are same size; tires should be rotated every
10,000 km (6,000 miles). Tires marked with directional
indicators can only be rotated between front and rear.
Make sure that the directional indicators point in the
direction of wheel rotation after the tire rotation is
completed.
In the case that Four-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive
(4WD/AWD) and front and rear tires are same size;
tires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
Tires marked with directional indicators can only be
rotated between front and rear. Make sure that the
directional indicators point in the direction of wheel
rotation after the tire rotation is completed.
In the case that front tires are different size from rear
tires; tires cannot be rotated.
However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according
to your driving habits and the road surface conditions.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) trans-
mitter components (if so equipped):
GUID-11F97BB9-9503-47D0-8BB9-62C812293875

If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on
a straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or
abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at
normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
