Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. Also check
the tires for uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side of the
tread.
Check the spare tire condition and inflation pressure if not rotated.New tread

Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is shown by a “TWI” or “ ” marks,
etc., molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.

To equalize tire wear and help
extend tire life, Toyota recom-
mends that you rotate your tires
approximately every 10000 km
(6000 miles).

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light. (→P. 523)
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID
codes registered by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional. ( →P. 462)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
● When rotating front and rear tires which have different tire infla-
tion pressures
● When changing the tire size
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed
● When changing between two registered wheel sets
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. ( →P. 613)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on
this pressure level.
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system).

Maintenance and care
◆Selecting wheel set
Your vehicle is equipped with tire pressure warning system with the
function to have ID codes registered for a second wheel set, for
example a winter set, by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
After registration of a second wheel set, either of these two wheel
sets can be selected for usage with the tire pressure warning sys-
tem.
■Operating conditions for the function
●This function will perform the change of wheel set only if a sec-
ond wheel set has been registered. If no second wheel set has
been registered, no change will be made when selecting this
function in the menu.
● Only a change between both registered wheel set is possible,
mixing between these wheel sets is not supported.
■How to change between wheel sets
Have the vehicle fitted with the preferred wheel set.
