Tire Rotation - Cadillac XT5 2017 Owner's Manual

The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot be
repaired well because of the
size or location of the damage.

TIRE ROTATION

Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 mi). See
Maintenance Schedule 0 325.
Tires are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tires as soon as possible,
check for proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for damaged
tires or wheels. If the unusual
wear continues after the rotation,
check the wheel alignment. See
When It Is Time for New Tires
0 290 and Wheel
Replacement 0 294.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires.
Do not include the compact spare
tire in the tire rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information label after the tires
have been rotated. See Tire
Pressure 0 283 and Vehicle Load
Limits 0 186.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0 286.
VEHICLE CARE
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See Wheel
Nut Torque under Capacities and
Specifications 0 337.
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.
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.
