5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with run-flat tires)
■In some condition (such as at high temperatures)
You cannot continue driving for up to 100 miles (160 km).
■If you cannot distinguish between the standard tires and run-flat
tires
Consult your Toyota dealer.
■For the detailed information on run-flat tires
See the tire warranty book.
NOTICE
■When replacing the tires
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.
■To avoid damaging the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.
Take your vehicle to the nearest Toyota dealer or authorized tire
dealer as soon as possible.
■ Run-flat tires (A “RFT” or “DSST” mark is molded on the
sidewall)
You can continue driving a
vehicle with run-flat tires even
if any tire goes flat.
It is able to run for a maxi-
mum of 100 miles (160 km)
at a speed below 55 mph (90
km/h) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on.

524 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■When reinstalling the wheel ornament (vehicles with a steel wheel)
■When stowing the adapter socket (Type A only)
Insert the bag with the fold portion facing downward.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE
ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P. 548)
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on the rear of the vehicle. Perform the fol-
lowing steps and fit tire chains to the front tires.
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of
the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warnin g system must be reset. ( P. 455)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
warned. Also, if you replace the compac t spare tire after the tire pressure
warning light comes on, the light remains on.
Align the cutout of the wheel ornament
with the valve stem as shown.

NOTICE
■When loosening or tightening the spare tire clamp bolt (type A
only)
Do not use an impact wrench. Use the adapter socket and jack handle.
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire
installed on the vehicle
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when drivin g with standard tires. Be careful when driving
over uneven road surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving
performance.
■When replacing the tires
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.
■To avoid damaging the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.
■After taking out or stowing the spare tire (type A only)
Make sure to secure the tire carrier by tightening the clamp bolt to pre-
vent the holding bracket from hitting the under body of the vehicle during
driving.
■Using the tire carrier
●As the tire carrier is designed for use with the compact spare tire, it
cannot be used with standard tires.
●If the spare tire is flat, do not use th e tire carrier, as the tire may not be
held securely.

558 6-1. Specifications
■Treadwear
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.
■ Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represen t the tire's ability 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.
■ Temperature 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.

Vehicle specifications
Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a
tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can caus e heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.
