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 “Part
A:
Scheduled
Maintenance Services,” in Section
6,
for scheduled
rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the
Certificationnire label. Make certain that
all
wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut
Torque”
under
Capacities and Specifications
on
page
5-93.

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.
