13. TIRE AND WHEEL ROTATION AND INSPECTION
-
For
proper wear and maximum tire life, rotate tires at the first 6,000 miles
(10 000 kilometers) for Schedule I or 7,500 miles (12 500 kilometers)
for Schedule I1 and then every 15,000 miles
(25 000
kilometers)
thereafter. Follow the instructions and patterns shown in Section
6.
Check tires for uneven wear or damage. If irregular or premature wear
is apparent, check wheel alignment. Also, check for damaged wheels.
See "Tires" in the Index for more information.

Standard Differential
-
Check fluid level and add as needed at
every oil change. In dusty areas or trailer towing applications,
drain fluid every 15,000 miles (24 135 kilometers) and refill.?
15. BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION
-
When the engine oil is changed,
inspect the lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Check the parking brake adjustment, and the fluid level in
the master cylinder. A low fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads
which may need to be serviced.?
When the wheels are removed for rotation, inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, parking brake, etc. at the same time.
Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions result
in
frequent braking.
-t-
A fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected and
repaired at once.
