4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
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 your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
●Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that have been straightened
■ Aluminum wheel precautions (if equipped)
●Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.
● When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
● Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
● Use only Toyota genuine bal ance weights or equivalent and
use a plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

■Précautions concernant les coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suivantes concernant les coussins gonflables
SRS.
Autrement, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.
● Le conducteur et tous les passagers du véhicule doivent porter
correctement leur ceinture de sécurité.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs supplémentaires à
utiliser avec les ceintures de sécurité.
● Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se déploie avec une violence
considérable, qui peut causer des blessures graves, voire mortelles, si le
conducteur se trouve très près du coussin gonflable. L’autorité fédérale
chargée de la sécurité routière aux États-Unis (NHTSA) conseille:
Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se
trouve dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) de déploiement, vous
placer à 10 in. (250 mm) de votre coussin gonflable conducteur vous
garantit une marge de sécurité suffisante. Cette distance est à mesurer
entre le centre du volant et le sternum. Si vous êtes assis à moins de 10
in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de conduite de plusieurs
façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus possible, de manière à pouvoir encore
atteindre confortablement les pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège. Bien que les véhicules puissent être différents les uns des autres, la plupart des conducteurs
peuvent s'asseoir à une distance de 10 in. (250 mm), même avec le
siège conducteur complètement avancé, simplement en inclinant un
peu le dossier de siège. Si vous avez des difficultés à voir la route
après avoir incliné votre siège, utilisez un coussin ferme et
antidérapant pour vous rehausser ou, si votre véhicule est équipé du
réglage en hauteur du siège, remontez-le.
• Si votre volant est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela a pour effet d’orienter le coussin gonflable en direction de votre poitrine plutôt que
de votre tête et de votre cou.
Réglez votre siège selon ces recommandations de la NHTSA, tout en
conservant le contrôle des pédales, du volant et la vue des commandes
du tableau de bord.
