The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires onthe vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See "Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services," in Section 6, for scheduled rotation intervals. After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the Certificationflire label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" under Capacities and Specifications c- page 5-94. r st or dirt on a wheel, or on le parts to which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after atime. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches the vehicle. to In an emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust or dirt off. See "Changing a Flat Tire" in the Index. When rotating your tires, always use one of the correct rotation patterns shown here. If your vehicle has a compact spare tire or a spare tire that does not match your vehicle's regular road tires and wheels in size and type, do not include the spare in the tire rotation. 5-59
