After the tires have been
rotated, adjust the front and rear
inflation pressures as shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. See “Vehicle Load Limits”
in the owner manual for an
example of the label and its
location on your vehicle.
The Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) sensors will
need to be reset after a tire
rotation. See “TPMS Sensor
Identification Codes” under “Tire
Pressure Monitor Operation”.
Make certain that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
“Capacities and Specifications”
in the owner manual.
Lightly coat the center of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tire 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
Do not use tire chains. There is

parts. The area damaged by the
tire chains could cause you to
lose control of the vehicle and
you or others may be injured in a
crash. Use another type of
traction device only if its
manufacturer recommends it for
use on the vehicle and tire size
combination and road conditions.
Follow that manufacturer's

devices that will fit, install them on
the rear tires.
If a Tire Goes Flat
Your vehicle has a tire inflator kit.
There is no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment, and no place
to store a tire.
It is unusual for a tire to blow out
while you are driving, especially if
you maintain your tires properly.
If air goes out of a tire, it is much
more likely to leak out slowly. But,
if you should ever have a blow out,
here are a few tips about what to

If a front tire fails, the flat tire
creates a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off
