Maintenance
- Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload a vehicle luggage rack if your
vehicle is equipped with one.
- Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires be rotated every 10,000 km
(6,500 miles) or sooner if irregular wear develops.
WARNING
僅 Do not use the compact spare tire for tire rotation.
僅 Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause
unusual handling characteristics that could result in death, severe injury, or property
damage.
NOTE
Rotate radial tires that have an asymmetric tread pattern only from front to rear and not
from right to left.
Wheel alignment and tire balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you
the longest tire life and best overall performance.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be rebalanced.
CAUTION
Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use only approved
wheel weights.
