Follow the recommended tire rotation frequency for your
type of driving. Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in
Section 8 of this manual. More frequent rotation is
permissible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or
unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being
performed.

The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross”
shown in the following diagram.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.

The tire pressure will vary with 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. Tire pressure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire
pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for more than
three hours, or driven less than 1 mi (1 km) after a three
hour period. Refer to the “Tires — General Informa-
tion” in this section for information on how to properly
inflate the vehicle’s tires.

The tire pressure will also

increase as the vehicle is driven, this is normal and there
should be no adjustment for this increased pressure.
