Traction AA A B C
Temperature A B C
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to
these grades

The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course. E.g., a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half, 1
g, times as well on the govern-
ment course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly
from the norm due to variations
in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B, and
C.
Those grades represent the
tire's ability to stop on wet pave-
ment as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor trac-

tion performance.
The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydro-
planing, or peak traction charac-
teristics.

The temperature grades are A,
the highest, B, and C, represent-
ing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability
to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test
wheel. Sustained high tempera-
ture can cause the material of
the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which all
passenger vehicle tires must
meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No.
109. Grades Band A represent
higher levels of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.

Winter and all-season tires with
better cold weather performance
than summer tires.

Do not drive with a tire tread of
less than 0.12 in/3 mm, other-
wise there is an increased risk
of hydroplaning.

Do not drive with a tire tread of
less than 0.16 in/4 mm, as such
tires are less suitable for winter
operation.

Wear indicators are distributed
around the tire's circumference
and have the legally required
minimum height of 0.063
inches/1.6 mm.
The positions of the wear indica-
tors are marked on the tire side-
wall with TWI, Tread Wear
Indicator.

Inspect your tires regularly for
damage, foreign objects lodged
in the tread, and tread wear.
Driving over rough or damaged
road surfaces, as well as debris,
curbs and other obstacles can
cause serious damage to
wheels, tires and suspension
parts. This is more likely to
occur with low-profile tires,
which provide less cushioning
between the wheel and the
road. Be careful to avoid road
hazards and reduce your speed,
especially if your vehicle is

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire

is established for a tire that is

properly inflated and not over-

loaded. Excessive speed, under-

inflation, or excessive loading,

either separately or in combina-

tion, can cause heat buildup and

possible tire failure.

equipped with low-profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or
other vehicle malfunctions:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tire or running

noises.

• Unusual handling such as a

strong tendency to pull to the
left or right.

Damage can be caused by the
following situations, for instance:
• Driving over curbs.
• Road damage.
• Tire inflation pressure too low.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tire storage.

Have mounting and wheel bal-
ancing carried out by your Toy-
ota dealer.

You can ask your Toyota dealer
about the correct wheel/tire
combination and wheel rim ver-
sions for the vehicle.

Safety information

WARNING

Damaged tires can lose tire infla-

tion pressure, which can lead to

loss of vehicle control. There is a

risk of an accident. If tire damage

is suspected while driving, imme-

diately reduce speed and stop.

Have wheels and tires checked.

For this purpose, drive carefully to

the nearest your Toyota dealer.

Have vehicle towed or trans-

ported as needed. Do not repair

damaged tires, but have them

replaced.

WARNING

Tires can become damaged by

driving over obstacles, e.g., curbs

or road damage, at high speed.

Larger wheels have a smaller tire

cross-section. The smaller the tire

cross-section, the higher the risk

of tire damage. There is a danger

of accidents and property dam-

age. If possible, drive around

obstacles, or drive over them

slowly and carefully.

For each tire size, the manufac-
turer of the vehicle recommends
certain tire brands. The tire
brands can be identified by a
star on the tire sidewall.

Tire traction is not optimal due to
manufacturing circumstances
when tires are brand-new; they
achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.

The manufacturer of your vehi-
cle does not recommend the
use of retreaded tires.

Safety information

WARNING

Wheels and tires which are not

suitable for your vehicle can dam-

age parts of the vehicle, for

instance due to contact with the

body due to tolerances despite

the same official size rating.

There is a risk of an accident. The

manufacturer of your vehicle

strongly suggests that you use

wheels and tires that have been

recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer for your vehicle

type.

WARNING

Mounted steel wheels can cause

technical problems, for instance

independent loosening of the lug

bolts, damage to the brake discs.

There is a risk of an accident. Do

not mount steel wheels.

WARNING

Incorrect wheel/tire combinations

will have a negative impact on the

vehicle's handling and on the

function of a variety of systems,

such as the Anti-lock Brake Sys-

tem or Vehicle Stability Control

System. There is a risk of an acci-

dent. To maintain good handling

and vehicle response, use only

tires with a single tread configura-

tion from a single manufacturer.

The manufacturer of the vehicle

recommends that you use wheels

and tires that have been recom-

mended by the vehicle manufac-

turer for your vehicle type.

Following tire damage, have the

original wheel/tire combination

remounted on the vehicle as soon

as possible.

Recommended tire brands

New tires

Retreaded tires

WARNING

Retreaded tires can have different

tire casing structures. With

advanced age the service life can

be limited. There is a risk of an

accident. The manufacturer of

your vehicle does not recommend

the use of retreaded tires.

Winter tires are recommended
for operating on winter roads.
Although so-called all-season
M+S tires provide better winter
traction than summer tires, they
usually do not provide the same
level of performance as winter
tires.

If the maximum speed of the
vehicle is higher than the per-
missible speed for the winter
tires, then attach a label show-
ing the permissible maximum
speed in the field of view. The
label is available from your Toy-
ota dealer.
With winter tires mounted,
observe and do not exceed the
permissible maximum speed.

Swapping the front wheels with
the rear wheels or vice versa is
not permitted on vehicles with
different tire or rim dimensions
on the front and rear axles.

Do not exceed the maximum tire
inflation pressure indicated on
the side wall of the tire.

Store wheels and tires in a cool,
dry and dark place.
Always protect tires against all
contact with oil, grease, and sol-
vents.
Do not leave tires in plastic
bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or
tires.

• Park the vehicle as far away

as possible from passing traf-
fic and on solid ground.

• Switch on the hazard warning

system.

• Secure the vehicle against

rolling away by setting the
parking brake.

• Turn the steering wheel until

the front wheels are in the
straight-ahead position and
engage the steering wheel
lock.

• Have all vehicle occupants

get out of the vehicle and

• If necessary, set up a warning

triangle at an appropriate dis-
tance.

With the Mobility System, minor
tire damage can be sealed tem-
porarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, seal-
ant is pumped into the tires,
which seals the damage from
the inside.

• Follow the instructions on

using the Mobility System
found on the compressor and
sealant container.

• Use of the Mobility System

may be ineffective if the tire
puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.

• Contact your Toyota dealer if

the tire cannot be made driv-
able.

• If possible, do not remove for-

eign bodies that have pene-
trated the tire. Only remove
foreign objects if they are visi-
bly protruding from the tire.

• Pull the speed limit sticker off

the sealant container and

apply it to the steering wheel.

• The use of a sealant can

damage the TPM wheel elec-
tronics. In this case, have the
electronics checked and
replaced at the next opportu-
nity.

The compressor can be used to
check the tire inflation pressure.

The Mobility System is located in

Measure

Reduce your speed and stop
cautiously. Avoid sudden brak-
ing and steering maneuvers.

1

Identify the damaged tire.

Check the tire inflation pressure in

all four tires, for instance using the

tire pressure gauge of a flat tire kit.
For tires with special approval: if

the tire inflation pressure in all four

tires is correct, the TPM may not

have been reset. In this case, per-

form the reset.
If tire damage cannot be found,

contact your Toyota dealer.

2

Repair the flat tire, e.g., with
a flat tire kit or by changing
the wheel.

Use of sealant, for instance from
the flat tire kit, may damage the
TPM wheel electronics. Have
the electronics replaced at the
next opportunity.

MOBILITY

The tire inflation pressure
depends on the tire's tempera-
ture.
Driving or exposure to the sun
will increase the tire's tempera-
ture, thus increasing the tire
inflation pressure.
The tire inflation pressure is
reduced when the tire tempera-
ture falls again.
These circumstances may
cause a warning when tempera-
tures fall very sharply.
Following a temperature-related
warning, the target pressures
are displayed on the Control
Display again after a short dis-
tance.

The system cannot indicate sud-
den serious tire damage caused
by external circumstances.

Tires with special approval: the
system will not function correctly
if a reset was not performed, for
example a flat tire may be indi-
cated although the tire inflation
pressures are correct.

• A wheel without TPM wheel

electronics, such as an emer-
gency wheel, is mounted:
have the wheels checked, if
needed.

• Malfunction: have the system

checked.

• Interference caused by sys-

same radio frequency: after
leaving the area of the inter-
ference, the system automati-
cally becomes active again.

• For tires with special

approval: the system was
unable to complete the reset.
Perform a system reset again.

pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indi-
cated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added
safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possi-
ble, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehi-
cle's handling and stopping
ability. Please note that the
TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility
to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure tell-

tale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indi-
cate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then
remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function prop-
erly.

Lights and bulbs make an
essential contribution to vehicle
safety.
All headlights and lights are
made using LED or laser tech-
nology.
Some items of equipment use
light-emitting diodes installed
behind a cover as a light source.
These light-emitting diodes are
related to conventional lasers
and are officially designated as
Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
The manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends that you let your
Toyota dealer perform the work
in case of a malfunction.

Condensation can form on the
inside of the headlight glass in
cool or humid weather. When
driving with the lights switched
on, the condensation evapo-
rates after a short time. The
headlight glass does not need to
be changed.
If despite driving with the head-
lights switched on, increasing
humidity forms, for instance
water droplets in the light, have
the headlights checked.

The battery is maintenance-free.

Supra Owner's Manual

WARNING

If a warning light illuminates or

flashes, or a warning message is

displayed, immediately stop the

vehicle in a safe place. Do not

open the hood to inspect the

engine, as doing so may lead to

serious injury, such as steam

burns. If a warning message is

displayed, perform the necessary

procedures according to the dis-

played message or explanation in

the owner’s manual.

These warning messages indicate

that a malfunction has occurred in

a system or function of the vehi-

cle. If you continue to drive the

vehicle, the engine may stop sud-

denly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent. Also, even if no warning

lights are illuminated or messages

are displayed, if any abnormal

sounds, smells or vibrations are

detected, or of the engine stops

suddenly, refrain from opening the

hood to inspect the engine and

consult an authorized Toyota

retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING

If you hear a loud noise or feel

something impact the underside

of the vehicle while driving, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe

place.

After stopping the vehicle in a

safe place, check the underside of

the vehicle for any leaking brake

fluid, oil or fuel. If any fluid is leak-

ing, stop driving immediately and

have the vehicle inspected by an

authorized Toyota retailer or Toy-

ota authorized repairer, or any

reliable repairer.

Brake and fuel lines run under the

floor of the vehicle. If any of these

lines are damaged, the brakes

may fail or leaking fuel may ignite

and cause a fire.

WARNING

During normal driving, do not turn

off the engine. Turning the engine

off while driving will not cause loss

of steering or braking control, but

the power assist to these systems

will be lost. This will make it more

difficult to steer and brake, so you

should pull over and stop the

vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

WARNING

While driving, if a tire has been

punctured or has ruptured, firmly

grip the steering wheel, gradually

reduce the vehicle speed and

stop the vehicle in a safe place.

Avoid sudden braking and steer-

ing operations as doing so may

cause you to lose control of the

vehicle. Gradually reduce the

vehicle speed and stop the vehi-

cle in a safe place.

leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more
frequently because soiling on
such surfaces is substantially
more visible.
Use leather care products; oth-
erwise, dirt and grease will grad-
ually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.

Vacuum the upholstery regularly
with a vacuum cleaner.
If upholstery is very dirty, for
instance with beverage stains,
use a soft sponge or microfiber
cloth with a suitable interior
cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to
the seams using large sweeping
motions. Avoid rubbing the
material vigorously.

When cleaning the vehicle, use
only neutral wheel cleaners hav-
ing a pH value from 5 to 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaning
agents or steam jets above 140
°F/60 °C. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents can destroy the
protective layer of adjacent
components, such as the brake
disc.
After cleaning, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them. The heat
generated during braking dries
brake discs and brake pads and
protects them against corrosion.

Carefully clean Chrome sur-
faces, especially in case of
exposure to road salt, with
plenty of water and added
cleanser as needed.

Environmental influences can
cause surface soiling of rubber
parts and a loss of gloss. Use
only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
Treat especially worn rubber
