Tire Rotation
Tires on the front and rear axles operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, the tires wear at unequal rates. They may also develop irregular wear patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotating the tires according to the maintenance schedule in the Owner's Manual. This will improve tread life, traction and maintain a smooth quiet ride.
The recommended method of tire rotation for a single rear wheel vehicle is to cross the front wheels to the rear, and to move the rear wheels straight forward to the front. Other methods can be used, but may not provide the same tire longevity benefits.
The TPM system uses unique sensors in the inner rear wheels to help identify them from the outer rear wheels, because of this, the inner and outer wheel locations can't be switched.
After a tire rotation is completed, as followed below, the system can auto learn the locations of each sensor ID. Auto learning/localization occurs when the vehicle ignition status is changed from Off to On and speeds of greater than 5 mph (8km/h) are obtained and remain over 5mph for at about a 15 minute period. You may need to drive for 20 minutes to account slower speeds and stops .
If the tires are rotated incorrectly, The Auto localization of the TPM sensors will fail to locate correctly resulting in incorrect locations for the pressure values displayed in the Instrument Cluster.

The recommended method of tire rotation for dual wheel vehicles is to switch the 2 front wheels, switch the inside left rear with the inside right rear, and to switch the outside right rear with the outside left rear.
