Regulations on the use of tire chains
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.
When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you
and the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to
road conditions.
When parking the vehicle (in the winter time or in the cold
latitudes)
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to E, M or R (vehicles
with a multi-mode manual transmission) or 1 or R (vehicles with
a manual transmission) without setting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released.

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter,
rim width and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.

Toyota does not recommend using the following:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels

Aluminum wheel precautions (if equipped)

with your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel bolts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and
use a plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
