When rotating your tires, always use one of the
correct rotation patterns shown here.
If your vehicle has a compact spare tire or a spare
tire that does not match your vehicle’s road tires
and wheels, in size and type, do not include
the spare in the tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear in ation pressures as shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. For the location
of the Tire and Loading Information label see
Loading Your Vehicle on page 286. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened, see
“Wheel Nut Torque” underCapacities and
Speci cations on page 430for the proper wheel
nut torque speci cation.
{CAUTION:
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
you change a wheel, remove any rust or
dirt from places where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use a cloth or a paper towel to do this;
but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust or dirt
off. SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 394.
Any time you rotate the vehicle’s tires the Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will need to be
reset. The TPMS identi cation codes will need
to be matched to the tire and wheel position. See
“TPMS Sensor Identi cation Codes” underTire
Pressure Monitor System on page 378.

CAUTION: (Continued)
Because they were designed and
developed for use on your vehicle, it is all
right to drive your vehicle with the
compact spare installed properly.
Compact spare tires are designed for
temporary use only. SeeSpare Tire on
page 413.
{CAUTION:
If you use bias-ply tires on your vehicle,
the wheel rim anges could develop
cracks after many miles of driving. A tire
and/or wheel could fail suddenly, causing
a crash. Use only radial-ply tires with the
wheels on your vehicle.If you must replace your vehicle’s tires with those
that do not have a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range, speed
rating, and construction type (radial and
bias-belted tires) as your vehicle’s original tires.
Your vehicle’s original equipment tires are listed on
the Tire and Loading Information Label. This
label is attached to the vehicle’s center pillar
(B-pillar). SeeLoading Your Vehicle on page 286,
for more information about the Tire and Loading
Information Label and its location on your vehicle.
