■
Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressure every two 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 graduations of the gauge.
If the tire inflation pressure is not within the recommended
levels, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to
lower.
After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check
for leakage.
Reinstall the tire valve cap.STEP 1

Maintenance and care ■
Effects of inco rrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in th e 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 frequ ent refilling, have it checked by your Toy ota 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 fo r at least 3 hours and has no t 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 tir e is properly inflated based o nly 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 pre ssure after
driving.
●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehi cle
is balanced.

WARNING■
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated, the following condition s may occur
which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:●
Excessive wear●
Uneven wear●
Poor handling●
Possibility of blowouts result ing from overheated tires●
Air leaking from bet ween tire and wheel●
Wheel deformation and/or tire damage●
Greater possibility of tire damage while driving ( due to road h azards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE■
When inspecting and adjust ing 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 pressu re.

When replacing wheels
The wheels of your Toyota are equipped with tire pressure warni ng
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning sy stem to
provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflati on pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters mus t be installed. (  P. 3 4 6 )
WARNING■
When replacing wheels ●
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommen ded in
the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling cont rol.●
Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed fo r a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing deat h or seri-
ous injury.
■
When installing the wheel nuts
●
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tight ened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or g rease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, caus ing an
accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any o il or
grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. ●
Be sure to install the wheel nuts with
the tapered ends facing inward.
Installing the nuts with the tapered
ends facing outward can cause the
wheel to break and eventually cause
the wheel to come off while driving,
which could lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.Tapered portion

Maintenance and care NOTICE■
Replacing tire inflation pressu re warning valves and transmitte rs●
Because tire repair or replaceme nt may affect the tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced b y your
Toyota dealer or other qualifie d service shop. In addition, mak e sure to
purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at your
Toyota dealer.●
Ensure that only genuine Toyota w heels are used on your vehicle .
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work prop erly
with non-genuine wheels.

light
When the light comes on:
Low tire inflation pressure
such as
• Natural causes (  P. 402)
• Flat tire (  P. 4 2 4 ) Adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified
level.
The light will turn off after
