Tyres age, even if they are not
used. We recommend tyre
replacement every 6 years.

Tyre Rotation

Tyres are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tyres. The first
rotation is the most important.
Any time unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tyres as soon as possible
and check the wheel alignment.
Also check for damaged tyres or
wheels.
When rotating the tyres, always use
the correct rotation pattern shown
here. Do not include the spare tyre
in the tyre rotation. Adjust the front
and rear tyres to the recommended
inflation pressure on the Tyre and
Loading Information label after the
tyres have been rotated.
Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor
System.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened.
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 centre of the wheel
hub with wheel bearing grease after
a wheel change or tyre 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.
Different Size Tyres and
Wheels
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may
be necessary to reprogram the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tyre pressure and make other
vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.
