If the vehicle becomes stuck
CAUTION
nWhen attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur−
rounding area is clear, to avoid striki ng other vehicles, objects or persons.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
nWhen shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
nTo avoid damaging the transmission and other components
lAvoid spinning the wheels and do not rev the engine.
l
If the vehicle remains stuck after trying these procedures, the vehicle may
require towing to be freed.
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Stop the engine. Set the parki ng brake and shift the shift
lever in “P”.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide
traction under the tires.
Restart the engine.
Turn off VSC. (
P. 203)
Shift the shift lever to “D” or “R” position and carefully apply
the accelerator to free the vehicle.

Maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 512)
This means the pressure to which a tire may be inflated.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE
A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly filled in the
tire. A tube type tire has a tube inside the tire and the tube main−
tains the air pressure.
Radial tires or bias−ply tires
A radial tire has RADIAL on the sidewall. A tire not marked RADIAL is a
bias−ply tire.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations
issued by the National Highway Tr
affic Safety Administration of the
U.S.A. Department of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or
prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.
Your Toyota dealer will help answ er any questions you may have as
you read this information.
nDOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires mu
st conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be
found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

Vehicle specifications
nTreadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci−
fied government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 − 1/2)
times as well on the government 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 practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
nTraction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’s ab ility to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled cond itions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn−
ing) traction.
nTemperature A, B, C
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 speci−
fied indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature 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 passen−
ger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan−
dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo−
ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
