Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and
should be corrected by an
authorized dealer. Front-wheel
drive vehicles and those with an
independent rear suspension may
require alignment of all four
wheels.
The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire
and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.
Tire Rotation
WARNING
If the tire label shows
different tire pressures for the
front and rear tires and the vehicle
has a tire pressure monitoring
system, then you need to update
the settings for the system
sensors. Always perform the
system reset procedure after tire
rotation. If you do not reset the
system, it may not provide a low
tire pressure warning when
necessary. Note:
If your tires show uneven
wear ask an authorized dealer to
check for and correct any wheel
misalignment, tire imbalance or
mechanical problem involved
before tire rotation. Note:
Your vehicle may be
equipped with a dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly. A
dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is
different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels. If you have a dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.
Note: After having your tires
rotated, inflation pressure must be
checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.
Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval (as
indicated in the Scheduled
Maintenance chapter) will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life. Sometime
irregular tire wear can be
corrected by rotating the tires. Rear-wheel drive vehicles and
four-wheel drive vehicles (front
tires at left of diagram).

12.
Turn the ignition off. If two short horn
beeps are heard, the reset procedure
was unsuccessful and you must
repeat it. If after repeating the
procedure and two short beeps are
heard when the ignition is turned to
off, seek assistance from your
authorized dealer.
13. Set all four tires to the recommended
air pressure as indicated on the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label (affixed to either the door hinge
pillar, door-latch post, or the door
edge that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver's seating position)
or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar
or the edge of the driver's door.
Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (If Equipped)
Note: Additional equipment may be
required for your vehicle to support trailer
tire pressure monitoring. See your authorized
dealer for more information.
Note: The trailer tire pressure monitoring
system is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance. It is your responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressures at all times.
Note: If a trailer tire is repaired, replaced or
broken down for service, the screw and valve
on the trailer tire pressure sensor should be
replaced. See your authorized dealer for
details. The trailer tire pressure monitoring system
is an added safety feature that allows you
to view your trailer tire pressures through
the information display. See
General
Information (page 111). Tire pressure
sensors are mounted into each tire on your
trailer. The sensors send a message to your
vehicle indicating the current trailer tire
pressure.
If the trailer tire pressure monitoring
system detects that a tire is low, a warning
message appears in the information
display. The trailer tire pressure status
screen in the information display highlights
the tire with a low pressure.
The main function of the trailer tire
pressure monitoring system is to warn you
when your trailer tires need air. It can also
warn you in the event the system is no
longer capable of functioning as intended.
See
Information Messages (page 128).
When a Temporary Spare or New Tire
is Installed
If you have replaced a trailer tire with a new
or spare tire, a warning message appears
and pressure readings are no longer
displayed for that tire.
To restore the full function of the trailer
tire pressure monitoring system:
• Have the damaged wheel and tire
assembly repaired and remounted to
your trailer.
• Install the trailer tire pressure
monitoring sensor into the new wheel
and tire assembly.
• Perform the trailer tire pressure
monitoring system reset procedure.
Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Reset Procedure
Note: You need to perform the tire pressure
monitoring system reset procedure after
each tire rotation, or when a new trailer tire
pressure sensor is installed into a trailer tire.
