Tyre rotation
Tyres are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tyres. The first
rotation is the most important.
Any time unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tyres as soon as possible
and check the wheel alignment. Also
check for damaged tyres or wheels.

When rotating the tyres, always use
the correct rotation pattern shown
here.
Do not include the spare tyre in the
tyre rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tyres to the
recommended inflation pressure on
the Tyre and Loading Information
label after the tyres have been
rotated.
Reset the Tyre Pressure Moniter
System.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened.
Lightly coat the center of the wheel
hub with wheel bearing grease after
a wheel change or tyre rotation to
prevent corrosion or rust build-up. Do
not get grease on the flat wheel
mounting surface or on the wheel
nuts or bolts.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any rust
or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use a
scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
