Follow the recommended tire rotation frequency for your
type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules”
Section of this manual. More frequent rotation is permis-
sible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual
wear should be corrected prior to rotation being per-
formed.
The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross”
shown in the following diagram.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
•
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will
warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the
vehicle recommended cold placard pressure. (The
placard is located on the drivers side ”B” Pillar).
•
The tire pressure will vary with the temperature by
about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means
that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will decrease. The tire pressure will also
increase as the vehicle is driven — this is normal and
there should be no adjustment for this increased
pressure.
NOTE: Refer to Tires — General Information in this
section for information on how to properly inflate the
vehicle’s tires.
