Problems solved by technology

Since many operators ignore when a tire rotation is required, the tire will run longer intervals without rotation, resulting in faster wear and an earlier replacement

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a tire rotation warning. A vehicle includes a tire rotation reminder system. The system includes a controller that generates a tire rotation reminder based on a predicted driving time to reach a predetermined difference in tread wear between the front and rear tires. The predicted driving time is based on the rate of change of the difference between the circumference of the front tire and the circumference of the rear tire. A tire rotation reminder is output when the predicted driving time is less than a predetermined time. The tire rotation reminder system can cooperate with the display to output additional information related to tire rotation. Visual, audible, and tactile indicators can be used to communicate tire rotation reminders.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application generally relates to alerting a vehicle operator when the tires of the vehicle should be rotated. Background technique [0002] During operation of the vehicle, the tires of the vehicle will wear. Over time, the tread on your tires wears down to the point where they must be replaced. Proper vehicle maintenance can extend the operational life of your tires. Rotating tires is a practice that increases the life of your tires. Tire rotation entails periodically changing the tire's position on the vehicle to alter tire wear. Over time, each tire is moved to a different position to equalize the wear on the tires. Typically, it is left to the operator to determine when a tire rotation is required. Since many operators ignore when a tire needs to be rotated, the tire will run longer intervals without being rotated, resulting in faster wear and an earlier replacement. Contents of the invention [0003] A vehicle includes a contro...
