Tire rotation
Your vehicle's tires are acritical component
to overall vehicle performance and stability.
The useful life of tires willvary and is
proportional to tire type,speed rating,
ambient conditions, tire loads, tire inflation
pressure, road surfaces, and individual
driving style. We therefore recommend
regularly checking the tires for wear and
correct tire pressure, and - if the tire
configuration allows -that the tires are
rotated regularly.
Tires can only be rotated on vehicles with the
same tire size on the front and rear axles.
If your vehicle's tire configuration allows for
tire rotation, tire rotation should be
performed in accordance with the
recommended intervals, or sooner at the first
signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear. Tire
rotation recommendations will likely
necessitate a tire rotation at least at every
maintenance service.
Single tires at rear
If your vehicle is equipped with tires of the
same size, tires can be rotated by following a
front-to-rear rotation pattern that will
maintain the intended rotation (spinning)
direction of the tire (on unidirectional tires, an
arrow on the sidewall indicates the intended
rotation or spinning direction of the tire).
Dual tires at the rear
If your vehicle is equipped with tires of the
same size, the tires on the front axle can be
rotated with the inner tires on the rear axle in
pairs so that the intended rotation (spinning)
direction of the tires remains the same. If the
tread pattern on the tires is not unidirectional,
the outer tires on the rear axle can be rotated
from one side to the other.

tires
This Maintenance Booklet contains a
practical tire rotation confirmation page,
which you can use to record the date and
mileage for every tire rotation (Y page 13).
Arduous operating conditions
The maintenance intervals have been
determined so that under normal operating
conditions the vehicle should operate
properly between maintenanceservices.
Arduous operating conditions may require
that the following parts be replaced at shorter
intervals:

INTERIOR FILTERS
(Examples: dust filter, recirculating air
filter, activated charcoal filter or
combination filter) are to be replaced as
indicated by the maintenance computer.
Under severe dust conditions, or if the
climate control is operated frequently in air
