Oil and other fluids may also be

hot.

●

Do not leave anything that may

burn easily, such as paper and

rags, in the engine compart-

ment.

●

Do not smoke, cause sparks or

expose an open flame to fuel or

the battery. Fuel and battery

fumes are flammable.

Tires should be replaced if:

●

The treadwear indicators are

showing on a tire.

●

You have tire damage such as

cuts, splits, cracks deep enough

to expose the fabric, and bulges

indicating internal damage.

●

A tire goes flat repeatedly or can-

not be properly repaired due to

the size or location of a cut or

other damage.

If you are not sure, consult with your

Toyota dealer.

■

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be

checked by a qualified technician

even if it has seldom or never been

used or damage is not obvious.

■

Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load of the

replacement tire is greater than 1/2

of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings

(GAWR) of either the front axle or

the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification

Label. For the maximum load of the

tire, see the load limit at maximum

cold tire inflation pressure men-

tioned on the sidewall of the tire.

Tire types

●

Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since
summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tires,
summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy
roads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow
tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all
four tires.

●

All season tires

All season tires are designed to pro-
vide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions as well as for use
year-round. All season tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway
driving.

●

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads
or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires,
select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the
originally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original
equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction.
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels.

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Do not mix tires of different

makes, models or tread pat-

terns.

Also, do not mix tires of remark-

ably different treadwear.

●

Do not use tire sizes other than

those recommended by Toyota.

●

Do not mix differently con-

structed tires (radial, bias-belted

or bias-ply tires).

●

Do not mix summer, all season

and snow tires.

●

Do not use tires that have been

used on another vehicle.

Do not use tires if you do not

know how they were used previ-

ously.

●

Vehicles with compact spare

tire: Do not tow if your vehicle

has a compact spare tire

installed.

●

Vehicles without spare tire: Do

not tow anything if a tire that has

been repaired using the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit is

installed. The load on the tire

may cause unexpected damage

to the tire.

NOTICE

■

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving

on roads with loose surfaces or

potholes.

These conditions may cause

losses in tire inflation pressure,

Warning performance of the tire

pressure warning system

The warning of the tire pressure

warning system will change in

accordance with the conditions

under which it was initialized. For

this reason, the system may give a

warning even if the tire pressure

does not reach a low enough level,

or if the pressure is higher than the

pressure that was adjusted to when

the system was initialized.

When replacing tires or wheels,
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be
installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire

pressure warning system must
be initialized. (

P.433)

■

When replacing the tires and

wheels

If the ID code of the tire pressure

warning valve and transmitter is not

registered, the tire pressure warning

system will not work properly. After

driving for about 20 minutes, the tire

pressure warning light blinks for 1

minute and stays on to indicate a

system malfunction.

■

When initializing

●

Initialization is performed while

driving at a vehicle speed of

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)

or more.

●

Make sure to carry out initializa-

tion after adjusting the tire inflation

pressure. Also, make sure the

tires are cold before carrying out

initialization or tire inflation pres-

sure adjustment.

●

The tire pressure warning system

can be initialized by yourself, but

depending on the driving condi-

tions and driving environment, ini-

tialization may take some time to

complete.

■

The initialization operation

●

If you have accidentally turned the

power switch to OFF during initial-

ization, it is not necessary to

restart the initialization again as

initialization will restart automati-

cally when the power switch has

been turned to ON for the next

time.

●

If you accidentally perform initial-

ization when initialization is not

necessary, adjust the tire inflation

pressure to the specified level

when the tires are cold, and con-

duct initialization again.

●

While the position of each tire is

being determined and the inflation

pressures are not being displayed

on the multi-information display, if

the inflation pressure of a tire

drops, the tire pressure warning

light will come on.

■

If the tire pressure warning sys-

tem is not initialized properly

●

In the following situations, initial-

ization may take longer than usual

to be completed or may not be

possible. Normally, initialization

completes within approximately

30 minutes.

• Vehicle is not driven at approxi-

mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more

• Vehicle is driven on unpaved

roads

• Vehicle is driven near other vehi-

cles and system cannot recog-

nize tire pressure warning valve

and transmitters of your vehicle

over those of other vehicles.

• If the vehicle is driven in heavy

traffic or another situation where

other vehicles are driven close by,

it may take time for the system to

recognize the tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitters of your

vehicle over those of other vehi-

cles.

●

If initialization does not complete

after driving for 1 hour or more,

park the vehicle in a safe place for

approximately 20 minutes and

then drive the vehicle again.

●

If the vehicle is reversed during

initialization, the data up to that

point is reset, so perform the ini-

tialization procedure again from

the beginning.

●

In the following situations, initial-

ization will not be started or was

not completed properly and the

system will not operate properly.

Effects of incorrect tire inflation

pressure

Driving with incorrect tire inflation

pressure may result in the following:

●

Reduced fuel economy

●

Reduced driving comfort and poor

handling

●

Reduced tire life due to wear

●

Reduced safety

●

Damage to the drive train

If a tire needs frequent inflating,

have it checked by your Toyota

dealer.

■

Instructions for checking tire

inflation pressure

When checking tire inflation pres-

sure, observe the following:

●

Check only when the tires are

cold.

If your vehicle has been parked

for at least 3 hours or has not

been driven for more than 1 mile

or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate

cold tire inflation pressure reading.

●

Always use a tire pressure gauge.

It is difficult to judge if a tire is

properly inflated based only on its

appearance.

●

It is normal for the tire inflation

pressure to be higher after driving

as heat is generated in the tire. Do

not reduce tire inflation pressure

after driving.

●

Never exceed the vehicle capacity

weight. Passengers and luggage

weight should be placed so that

the vehicle is balanced.

WARNING

■

Proper inflation is critical to

save tire performance

Keep your tires properly inflated.

If the tires are not properly

inflated, the following conditions

may occur which could lead to an

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury:

●

Excessive wear

●

Uneven wear

●

Poor handling

●

Possibility of blowouts resulting

from overheated tires

●

Air leaking from between tire

and wheel

●

Wheel deformation and/or tire

damage

●

Greater possibility of tire dam-

age while driving (due to road

hazards, expansion joints,

sharp edges in the road, etc.)

NOTICE

■

When inspecting and adjust-

ing tire inflation pressure

Be sure to put the tire valve caps

back on.

If a valve cap is not installed, dirt

or moisture may get into the valve

and cause an air leak, resulting in

decreased tire inflation pressure.

■

When replacing wheels

●

Do not use wheels that are a dif-

ferent size from those recom-

mended in the Owner’s Manual,

as this may result in a loss of

handling control.

●

Never use an inner tube in a

leaking wheel which is designed

for a tubeless tire. Doing so may

result in an accident, causing

death or serious injury.

■

When installing the wheel

nuts

Never use oil or grease on the

wheel bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and

grease may cause the wheel nuts

to be excessively tightened, lead-

ing to bolt or disc wheel damage.

In addition, the oil or grease can

cause the wheel nuts to loosen

and the wheel may fall off, caus-

ing an accident and resulting in

death or serious injury. Remove

any oil or grease from the wheel

bolts or wheel nuts.
