Wheel and Tire Rotation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Pickup, 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2008 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
This procedure is intended for vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and different front and rear tire pressures.
- Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire - Single Rear Wheel (SRW) .
- Rotate the 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.
- Install the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire - Single Rear Wheel (SRW) .
- Adjust the tire pressures. Refer to the Vehicle Certification (VC) label located on the driver door jamb.
- Train the TPMS sensors. For additional information, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training .
NOTE:
The front tires are shown at the top of the illustration.
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 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) indicator to illuminate.
