connectors are damaged or improperly connected, 
which could result in serious injury or death to the 
vehicle's driver and front passenger.

and the terminals for deformation. REPLACE ANY 
CONNECTOR OR HARNESS THAT FAILS THE VISUAL 
INSPECTION. (Refer to GROUP 52B, SRS Precaution 

P.52B-17

22. TIRES (ROTATE)

M1001008900187

Rotate tires regularly to equalize tire wear and help extend tire 
life. Recommended tire rotation is every 12,000 km (7,500 
miles) under normal driving conditions and every 9,600km 
(6,000 miles) in severe driving conditions.
Timing for the rotation may vary according to vehicle condition, 
road surface conditions, and individual driver's habits.
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and 
wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect 
tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out-of balance 
wheels, or severe braking.
The first rotation is the most important to achieve more uniform 
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
