  5. Install the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire - Single Rear Wheel (SRW) .
  6. Adjust the tire pressures. Refer to the Vehicle Certification (VC) Label located on the driver door jamb.
  7. 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 indicator to illuminate.
  8. Train the TPMS sensors. For additional information, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training .
