WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation p ressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has t ires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indica ted on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should de termine
the proper tire inflation p ressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS -tire pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Acco rdingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning ligh t) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible , and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread lif e, and may
affect the vehicle’s handl ing and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintena nce, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warn-
ing system) malfunction indicato r to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) mal func-
tion indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the tell tale will
flash for approximately one mi nute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle star t-ups
as long as the malfunction exists . When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tir e pres-
sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or al ternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure w arning
system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning sys tem) to
continue to function properly.

■To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, a s the tire
pressure warning system may not operate properly.

■ Warning message in radar cruise mode
In the following cases, the warning message may not be displaye d even if
vehicle-to-vehicle distance decreases:
● When your vehicle and the vehicle ahead are traveling at the sa me speed or
the vehicle ahead is traveling more quickly than your vehicle
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling at a very low speed
● Immediately after cruise control speed is set
● At the instant the accelerator pedal is depressed
Indicates that the pre-collision system sensor is
dirty, covered with ice, etc.
Remove any dirt, ice, etc.
Indicates a malfunction in the brake system
A buzzer also sounds.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
Continuing to drive th e vehicle may be dan-
gerous.

Install the inside spare tire
cover to the outside spare tire
cover.
Confirm it is not loose after
tightening:Push and pull the tire
Try rotating
Visually check to ensure tire is
not hung on surrounding parts.
If looseness or misassembly
exists, repeat steps
to .
Repeat step , any t ime the tire is lowered or disturbed.
Stow the jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY US E
ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spar e tire temporarily, and only in an emergenc y.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P. 6 6 2 )
■When the compact spare tire is installed (vehicles with a compa ct
spare tire)
The vehicle is lower when the compact spare tire is installed compared to
when standard tires are installed.
■When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressur e
warning system)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you rep lace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.

When trouble arises

NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire
installed on the vehicle.
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when d riving
over uneven road surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect dr iving
performance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire p ressure
warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled cor rectly.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmi t-
ters
When a tire is repaired with liqui d sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sea lant is
used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon
as possible. Make sure to replac e the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the tire. ( P. 5 3 5 )
■When stowing the flat tire
●Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle
underbody.
●Securely tighten the spare tire clamp bolt to hold the spare wh eel car-
rier by the hook.
●Stow the flat tire in the spare tire location. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the spare tire carrier. Proper storage reduces the po ssibility
of injury in a collision or during sudden braking.
●Have the flat tire repaired and the spare tire replaced with it as soon as
possible.
