10-74 Vehicle Care
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS), if the vehicle
has one. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation on
page 10‑68.
Check that the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, is stored
properly. Push, pull, and then try
to rotate or turn the tire. If it
moves, tighten the cable.
See“Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools” under Tire Changing
on page 10‑84.
Dual Tire Rotation
When the vehicle is new,
or whenever a wheel, wheel
bolt, or wheel nut is replaced,
check the wheel nut torque after
160, 1 600, and 10 000 km
(100, 1,000, and 6,000 mi) of driving.
For proper torque and wheel nut
tightening information, see
“Removing the Spare Tire and
Tools” under Tire Changing on
page 10‑84.
The outer tire on a dual wheel setup
generally wears faster than the
inner tire. Tires last longer and wear
more evenly if they are rotated. See
Tire Inspection on page 10‑71 and
Tire Rotation on page 10‑72. Also
see Maintenance Schedule on
page 11‑3.

WARNING
If the vehicle is operated with a
tire that is underinflated, the tire
can overheat. An overheated tire
can lose air suddenly or catch
fire. You or others could be
injured. Properly inflate all tires,
including the spare.
See Tire Pressure on page 10‑65,
for information on proper tire
inflation.
