Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tire bal-
ance
Tire replacement
WARNING
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.

To reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
•
Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn
tires
can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.
•
Always replace tires with the
same size as each tire that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tires and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.

If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
NOTICE
Improper wheel weights can dam-
age
your
vehicle’s
aluminum
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.
