Maintenance
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only
from front to rear and not from
right to left.
Tire replacementIf the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
WARNING
Do not use the compact spare
tire for tire rotation
Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tires under any circum-
stances. This may cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics that could result in death,
severe injury, or property
damage.
WARNING
Driving on tires with no or insuf-
ficient tread is dangerous.
Worn-out tires can result in loss
of vehicle control, collisions,
injury, and even death. Worn-out
tires should be replaced as
soon as possible and should
never be used for driving.
Always check tire tread before
driving your car. Refer to 8-3 for
further information and tread
limits.
