Rotate the tires “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on all season 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 Schedules” in Section 8 for the
recommended tire rotation frequency for your type of
driving. Remember, more frequent rotation is permissible
if desired. Also, correct for anything causing rapid or
unusual wear prior to performing the tire rotation.
NOTE: Each wheel on your vehicle contains a tire
pressure sensor. The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) learns the location of each sensor though system
programming. Although not required, the manufacturer
recommends reprogramming the TPMS after rotating the
tires so that the system can relearn each sensor’s location.
See your authorized dealer for system reprogramming.
