Maintenance and care
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as
dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently constructed ti res (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.

Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
■When initializing the tire pressure warning system

adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the
tire pressure warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation
pressure is low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is
actually normal.

Air conditioning filter
Turn the power switch off.
Open the glove box and slide
off the damper.
Push in each side of the glove
box to disconnect the claws,
and then slowly and fully open
the glove box while supporting
it.
With the glove box fully open,
slightly lift up the glove box and
pull toward the seat to detach
the bottom of the glove box.
Do not use excessive force if the
glove box does not detach when
lightly pulled. Instead, pull toward
the seat while slightly adjusting the
height of the glove box.
The air conditioning filter must be changed regularly to maintain

Pull the wiper rubber out past
the stopper on the wiper blade,
and then continue to pull until it
is completely removed.
Lightly grasp between the claws of
the wiper blade to allow the wiper
rubber to lift up, making it easier to
remove.
Remove the 2 metal plates from
the old wiper rubber and install
them to the replacement wiper
rubber.
Insert the wiper rubber starting from the claw at the center of the
wiper blade. Pass the wiper rubber through the 3 claws so that it
sticks out from the stopper, and then pass the wiper rubber through
the final remaining claw.
Applying a small amount of washer fluid to the wiper rubber can make it
easier to insert the claws into the grooves.

Maintenance and care
Check that the wiper blade
claws are fitted in the grooves
of the wiper rubber.• If the wiper blade claws are not fitted in the grooves of
the wiper rubber, grasp the
wiper rubber and slide it back
and forth multiple times to
insert the claws into the
grooves.
• Lightly lift up the center of the wiper rubber to make the rubber easier to slide.
When installing a wiper blade, reverse the procedure in step 1 and
2.
After installing the wiper blade, check that the connection is locked.
■ Wiper blade and wiper rubber handling
Improper handling may result in damage to the wiper blades or wiper rubber.
If you have any concerns about replacing the wiper blades or wiper rubber
yourself, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Front wiper blade cap
The cap cannot be removed, as it is integrated with the front wiper blade.

WARNING
●Be careful not to damage the claws when replacing the wipers.
● After the wiper blade is removed from the wiper arm, place a cloth, etc.,

Maintenance and care
■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may
need replacement. ( P. 636)
● If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■ If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
■ When replacing light bulbs
Toyota recommends that you use genuine Toyota products designed for this
vehicle. Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent
overload, nongenuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be
unusable.
WARNING
■To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or
injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use\
any other object in place of a fuse.
● Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
● Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
