5-50 Service and Appearance Care See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 5-51 and Wheel Replacement on page 5-55. After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-43 and Loading the Vehicle on page 4-16. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 5-46. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" under Capacities and Specifications on page 5-94. Tire Inspection and Rotation We recommend that you regularly inspect the vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, for signs of wear or damage. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 5-51 for more information. Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km). See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-3. The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will ensure that the vehicle continues to perform most like it did when the tires were new. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate the tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. When rotating the vehicle's tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here. If the vehicle has a compact spare tire, do not include it in the tire rotation.
