Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km).

Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See "When It Is Time for New Tires" and "Wheel Replacement" in the Index of the owner manual for more information.

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See "Scheduled Maintenance" in the Index of the owner manual.

When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See "Loading Your Vehicle" in the Index of the owner manual for an example of the label and its location on your vehicle.

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors will need to be reset after a tire rotation. See "TPMS Sensor Identification Codes" under "Tire Pressure Monitor Operation".

Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" under "Capacities and Specifications" in the Index of the owner manual.
