Tire Rotation
Checking For Pull And Wander
If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following
wheel rotation procedure.
1. |
Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test
in order to confirm vehicle stability.

|
2. |
If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear
tires, and perform a road test again.

|
3. |
If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right
and left tires again, and perform a road test.

|
4. |
If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front
wheels with new ones.

Tire Wear
• |
Using tires and wheel other than the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling characteristics and poor vehicle control,
resulting in a serious accident.
|
|
1. |
Measure the tread depth of the tires.
Tread depth [limit] : 1.6 mm (0.0630 in.)
|
|
2. |
If the remaining tread depth (A) is less than the limit, replace the
tire.
When the tread depth of the tires is less than 1.6 mm(0.0630
in), the wear indicators (B) will appear.
