Warning:
This procedure was derived from pre-production computer models, and
might not reflect the real-world situation. Warnings and cautions might be
missing. Follow safety requirements and use extreme caution when working on or
near high voltage systems and components.
Do not redistr
Vehicle ride quality and
handling are maximized when
all 4 tires are the same age,
model, and tread depth.
Rotating tires regularly
allows them to wear at the
same rate and increases the
service life. T
