Tire Rotation Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 mi).
Any time unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible and check the
wheel alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See
“ When It Is Time for New Tires ”
and “ Wheel Replacement ” in
the owner manual for more
information.
The purpose of regular rotation
is to achieve more uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
The first rotation is the most
important. See “ Maintenance
Schedule ” in the owner manual. Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires.
Adjust the front and rear tires
to the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. See
“ Vehicle Load Limits ” in the
owner manual for an example of
the label and its location on your
vehicle. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS). See Tire
Pressure Monitor Operation on
page 10 ‑ 17 .
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “ Wheel
Nut Torque ” under “ Capacities
and Specifications ” in the owner
manual.
Lightly coat the center of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tire 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.
If a Tire Goes Flat This vehicle has a tire inflator kit.
There is no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment, and no place
to store a tire.

Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit
{ WARNINGIdling a vehicle in an enclosed
area with poor ventilation is
dangerous. Engine exhaust may
enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which cannot be seen or smelled.
It can cause unconsciousness
and even death. Never run the
engine in an enclosed area that
has no fresh air ventilation. For
more information, see ” Engine
Exhaust ” in the owner manual. { WARNINGOverinflating a tire could cause
the tire to rupture and you or
others could be injured. Be
sure to read and follow the tire
sealant and compressor kit
instructions and inflate the tire to
its recommended pressure. Do
not exceed the recommended
pressure.
{ WARNINGStoring the tire sealant and
compressor kit or other
equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose equipment could
strike someone. Store the tire
sealant and compressor kit in its
original location. If this vehicle has a tire sealant and
compressor kit, there may not be a
spare tire, tire changing equipment,
and on some vehicles there may not
be a place to store a tire.
The tire sealant and compressor
can be used to temporarily seal
punctures up to 6 mm (¼ inch) in
the tread area of the tire. It can
also be used to inflate an under
inflated tire.
If the tire has been separated from
the wheel, has damaged sidewalls,
or has a large puncture, the tire is
too severely damaged for the tire
sealant and compressor kit to be
effective. See “ Roadside Assistance
Program ” or “ Roadside Service ” in
the owner manual.
