Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform
different steering, handling, and braking
functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.These effects can be reduced by timely rota
-
tion of tires. The benefits of rotation are
especially worthwhile with aggressive tread
designs such as those on On/Off Road type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the
proper maintenance intervals. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested Front Wheel Drive (FWD) rota -
tion method is the “forward cross” shown in
the following diagram. This rotation pattern
does not apply to some directional tires that
must not be reversed.
Tire Rotation (Forward Cross)
CAUTION!
Use on Front Tires Only
Damage to Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
Models may result if tire chains or trac-
tion devices are used with original equip -
ment size tires.
Damage to Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
Models without a Two-Speed Power
Transfer Unit may result if tire chains or
traction devices are used with original
equipment size tires.
Damage to Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
Trailhawk Models may result if tire
chains or traction devices are used with
original equipment size tires.
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:

Because of restricted traction device clear -
ance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only trac -
tion devices in good condition are used.
Broken devices can cause serious damage.
Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device
breakage. Remove the damaged parts of
the device before further use.

Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km). Autosock traction devices do
not require retightening.
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.

Observe the traction device manufac -
turer’s instructions on the method of
installation, operating speed, and condi -
tions for use. Always use the suggested
operating speed of the device manufac -
turer’s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).

Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.

The suggested Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire
rotation method is the “rearward cross”
shown in the following diagram.Tire Rotation (Rearward Cross)STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location the windows open
slightly.
Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the
battery is fully charged. During storage
check battery charge quarterly.
If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.
Cover the vehicle with an appropriate
cover taking care not to damage the
painted surface by dragging across dirty
surfaces. Do not use plastic sheeting
which will not allow the evaporation of
moisture present on the surface of the
vehicle.
Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi
(+0.5 bar) higher than recommended on
the tire placard and check it periodically.
Do not drain the engine cooling system.
Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary
for two weeks or more, idle the engine for
approximately five minutes, with the air
conditioning system on and high fan
speed. This will ensure proper lubrication
of the system, thus minimizing the possi -
bility of damage to the compressor when
the vehicle is put back into operation.
NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or
driven for at least 30 days, an Extended Park
Start Procedure is required to start the
vehicle.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information. CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive
vehicles depends on tires of equal size,
type and circumference on each wheel.
Any difference in tire size can cause
damage to the power transfer unit. Tire
rotation schedule should be followed to
balance tire wear.
