When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.

Tires should only be moved from front to rear and rear
to front on the same side of the vehicle.

Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Make certain that all wheel
nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque”
under

Capacities and Specifications on page 5-101.

CAUTION:

Rust or dirt on a 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. See “Changing a Flat
Tire” in the Index.
