Wheel rotation (every 12,000 km or every 6 months) (Honda Civic 6)

Wheel rotation should be performed regularly in accordance with the vehicle's routine maintenance schedule, and whenever signs of uneven tread wear are detected. The vehicle should be raised off the ground when rotating - take this opportunity to also check the condition of the brake system components (see Checking the brake system (every 12,000 km or once every 6 months)).

The authors of this Manual recommend rotating wheels equipped with radial tires in accordance with the following diagrams (see accompanying illustrations). Most models are equipped with tires with a non-directional tread, otherwise pay attention to the difference in the order of the procedure. Directional tires are easily distinguished by the presence of an arrow on the sidewall indicating the direction of rotation - the set should include two tires with the right direction of rotation and two with the left.

A detailed description of the procedure for changing wheels is provided in Jacking and towing (cm. Introduction to the Manual). Make sure the vehicle is securely fixed in the raised position.







1. The best way is to lift the entire car off the ground - use a winch, or jack up the car and place it on supports placed under the frame side members (under no circumstances should less than four supports be used to secure the vehicle in a raised position!).

2. After completing the wheel rotation, check the tire inflation pressure and adjust it according to the regulations. Make sure that the wheel nuts are securely fastened (ideally, the wheel nuts should be tightened with a torque wrench and the force checked after 40 km (25 miles) of driving).
