NOTE: This procedure is intended for vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and different front and rear tire pressures.

1. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire .

2. NOTE: The front tires are shown at the top of the illustration.
Rotate the wheel and tire assemblies as shown.

- Cross the front tires and move them to the rear of the vehicle.

- Move the rear tires (without crossing) to the front of the vehicle.






3. Install the wheel and tire assemblies. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire .

4. Adjust the tire pressures. For additional information, refer to the Vehicle Certification (VC) label located on the driver door jamb.

5. NOTE: The tire pressures must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) indicator to illuminate.

Train the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors. For additional information, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training .
