Maintenance and care
CAUTION
n Tire pressure warning system operation
The tire pressure warning system may not provide warning immediately
if a tire bursts or if
sudden air leakage occurs.
n When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so
may cause damage to parts of the drive train, as well as dangerous han−
dling characteristics, which may le
ad to fatal or injury accidents.
lDo not mix tires of different makes, models, tread patterns or tread−
wear.
lDo not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
lDo not mix radial, bias−belted, or bias−ply tires.

Do not press the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the spec
ified level. Otherwise, the tire pres−
sure warning light may not come on ev en if the tire inflation pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire

NOTICE
n Repairing or replacing tires, wheels and tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

nWhen replacing wheels
The wheels of your Toyota are equipped with tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide
advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever
wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must
be installed. (
P. 392)
CAUTION
nWhen replacing wheels
lDo not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner ’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control.
lNever use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tube−
less tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
nReplacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
lBecause tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase
your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at your Toyota dealer.
l
Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly with
non−genuine wheels.
