Typ e C (t i re in f o rmat i o n lab el )Typ e D (t i re in f o rmat i o n lab el ) Keep your tire inflation pressures
at the proper level.
The recommended cold tire inflation
pressures, tire
sizes and the com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo
(vehicle capacity weight) are de-
scribed in Section 8
∗. They are also
described on the tire and loading in-
formation label. The recommended
cold tire inflatio n pressure and tire
sizes are also described on the tire
information label. Either the tire and
loading information label or the tire in-
formation label is affixed on your ve-
hicle as shown.
You should check the tire inflation
pressure every two weeks, or at least
once a month. And do not forget the
spare!
∗: Payload (vehicle capacity weight) in Section 8 is the maximum
weight the vehicle should carry
with standard equipment. Depend-
ing on the number of options
equipped on your vehicle, the pay-
load may differ from the figures on
the tire and loading information la-
bel on your vehicle.

With a spare tire of different
wheel type from the installed
tires To equalize the wear and help ex-
tend tire life, Toyota recommends
that you rotate your tires accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule.
(For scheduled maintenance infor-
mation, please refer to the “Sched-
uled Maintenance Guide” or “Own-
er’s Manual Supplement”.)
However, the most appropriate tim-
ing for tire rotation may vary ac-
cording to your driving habits and
road surface conditions.
See “If you have a fl
at tire” in Section
4 for tire change procedure.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres-
sure, improper wheel alignment, out −
of −balance wheels, or severe braking.
WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES OR
CHAINS
Snow tires or chains are recommended
when driving on snow or ice.
On wet or dry roads, conventional tires
provide better traction than snow tires.
SNOW TIRE SELECTION
If you need snow tires, select tires of
the same size, construction and load
capacity as the originally installed tires.
Also, on fourwheel drive models, all
the tires must be the same brand and
have the same tread patterns.
Do not use tires other than those men-
tioned above. Do not install studded tires
without first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions.
