Maintenance

Tire rotation patterns depend on the vehicle and tire

Directional, staggered, and different-size setups may limit which positions can be swapped.

Maintenance

Check the spare before you need it

A spare can lose pressure while sitting unused, and some temporary spares have special limits.

A slight steering pull can come from the road surface

Road crown and wind can influence direction, so compare on a safe, level stretch rather than assuming alignment is wrong.

Maintenance

Tire condition is more than tread depth

Cracks, bulges, cuts, and repeated pressure loss deserve attention even when tread remains.

Maintenance

Uneven tread wear is useful information

Wear concentrated on one edge or in patches can prompt checks of pressure, alignment, balance, or suspension.

A tire-pressure warning needs a pressure check

A TPMS light can follow a pressure change, temperature swing, or sensor issue.

Maintenance

A brake warning deserves more attention than a routine service light

Check the owner's manual and take changes in pedal feel seriously. A warning light can have several meanings.

An ABS light is not the same as a red brake warning

The anti-lock function and the base hydraulic braking system are related but distinct. Read the vehicle's warning description.

A vibration that appears at a narrow road-speed range differs from one linked to braking, turning, or engine load.

A clunk over bumps is a location clue, not a diagnosis

Note which side, what kind of bump, and whether the sound changes with braking or steering.
