Maintenance and service/Tires and wheels
WARNING
& Rotational direction of tires
11-35
& Tire rotation
When a tire’s tread wear indicator
becomes visible, the tire is worn
beyond the acceptable limit and you
must replace it immediately. With a
tire in this condition, driving at high
speeds in wet weather can cause
the vehicle to hydroplane. The re-
sulting loss of vehicle control can
lead to an accident.
NOTE
For safety, inspect tire tread regularly
and replace the tires before their tread
wear indicators become visible.

the sidewall
