miles

(10

km)

for any signs

unusual wear.

unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as

possible and check wheel alignment.

Also

check foi

damaged tires or wheels. See “When It’s Time for New

Tires” and “Wheel Replacement” later in this section

for more information.

The purpose of regular rotation

to achieve more

uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first

rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled

Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled

rotation intervals.

When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation

pattern shown here.

Don’t include the compact spare tire

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.

Rust or dirt on

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 you change

wheel, remove

any rust or dirt from places where the wheel

attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can

use

cloth or

paper towel to do this; but be

sure to use

scraper or wire brush later, if you

need to, to get all the rust or dirt

off.
