Maintenance and care
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) CAUTION■
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 han-
dling 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 tires (radial, bias-belted, or bias-ply
tires).●
Do not mix summer, all season and winter tires.●
Do not use tire that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know they were used previously.●
Do not tow the vehicle with the compact spare tire installed.

5124-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) NOTICE■
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves,
transmitters and tire valve caps ●
When 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.●
When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than
those specified. The cap may become stuck.■
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters
When a tire is repaired with liquid se alants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is
used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon
as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the tire (  P. 507)■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot-
holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing
the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may
cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels
and body.■
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressu re every 2 weeks, or at least once a
month.
Do not forget to check the spare.■ Inspection and adjustment procedure
Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge
Remove the tire valve cap.
Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve.
Read the pressure using the gauge gradations.
If the tire inflation pressure is not at the recommended
level, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, pres s the center of the valve to
deflate.
After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check
for leakage.
Put the tire valve cap back on. STEP 1

Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect ti re inflation pressure ma y result in the following:●
Reduced fuel economy●
Reduced driving comfort and poor handling●
Reduced tire life due to wear●
Reduced safety●
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent re filling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.■
Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been
driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its
appearance.●
It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as
heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after
driving.●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle
is balanced.

5164-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) CAUTION■
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated , the following cond itions may occur
which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury: ●
Excessive wear●
Uneven wear●
Poor handling●
Possibility of blowouts resu lting from overheated tires●
Air leaking from between tire and wheel●
Wheel deformation and / or tire damage●
Greater possibility of tire damage wh ile driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE■
When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.

Maintenance and care
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) Wheels If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause 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:
● Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that have been straightened
■ Aluminum wheel precautions
● 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 balance weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
