Note. Recommended interval: every 12,000 km or 6 months.
For safety, when changing or rearranging wheels, follow these rules:
- park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slip platform;
- tighten the parking brake lever, turn off the ignition;
- Engage first or reverse gear, or place the automatic transmission lever in the «R»;
- place chocks under the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Never stand under a car that is on a jack (if necessary, place it on support stands).
Change wheels according to the maintenance schedule or when tires are unevenly worn.
Pic. 2.18. Wheel swap diagram: LF - front left wheel; RF - front right wheel; LR - rear left wheel; RR - rear right wheel; SPARE - spare wheel (the tire type is the same as the rest of the wheels)
After swapping wheels with tires with a directional tread pattern, they must rotate in the same direction as before swapping (pic. 2.18).
