Maintenance and service
When a tire's tread wear indicator
becomes visible, the tire is worn be-
yond the acceptable limit and must
be replaced immediately. With a tire
in this condition, driving at high
speeds in wet weather can cause
the vehicle to hydroplane. The re-
sulting loss of vehicle control can
lead to an accident.
NOTE
For safety, inspect the tire tread regu-
larly and replace the tires before their
tread wear indicators become visible.

If the tire has the rotation direction specifi-
cation, the tire rotation direction mark is
placed on its sidewall.
When you install a tire that has the tire ro-
tation direction mark, install the tire with
the direction mark facing forward.
