5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Loosen the center fastener that
secures the spare tire.
n Comp
act spare tire
The compact spare tire saves space in your luggage compartment,
and
its lighter weight helps to enhance fuel economy and permits
easier installation in case of a flat tire.
The compact spare tire is
d
esigned for temporary emer -
gency use only.
The compact spare tire is identi -
fied by the distinctive wording
“TE

MPORARY USE ONLY”
molded into the sidewall of the
tire.
nWhen using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and trans
mitter, low inflation pr essure of the compact spare tire will
not be warned. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
nCheck the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.

328 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
NOTICE
nDo 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.
nBe 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.
nDriving 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.
nWhen replacing the tires
lWhen 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 cor-
rectly.
lReplace the grommets for the tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters as well.
nTo avoid damaging the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle overheats
If your engine overheats:
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi-
tioning system.
Check to see if steam is coming out from under the hood.
If you see steam:
Stop the engine. Carefully lift the hood after the steam
sub

sides and then restart the engine.
If you do not see steam:
Leave the engine running and carefully lift the hood.
Check to see if the cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is operating:
Wait until the high engine coolant temperature warning
lig

ht goes off and then stop the engine.
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and call your local Toyota
dea
ler.

n
Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating.
lThe high
engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or comes on
or a loss of power is experienced.
l Steam is coming from under the hood.
CAUTION
nTo prevent an accident or injury when inspecting un der the hood of
your vehicle
l If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injury such as burns.
l Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and other belts while the
engine is running.
l Do not loosen the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
NOTICE
n When adding engine coolant
Wait until the engine has cooled down before adding engine coolant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot engine too
quickly can cause damage to the engine.

362 6-1. Specifications
nTreadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of th

e 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 the
ir use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due
to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
n Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’

s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled condit ions 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 (turning)
traction.
n 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, a nd excessive temperature can lead
to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a leve l of performance which all p
assen-
ger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan -
dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher leve
ls of performance on the labora-
tory 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 hea
t buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.
