This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
A tyre's condition and inflation pres-
sure influence the following:
• Lifetime of the tyre.
• Driving safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tyre inflation pressures are
shown on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be
found, then the tyre inflation pres-
sure for the corresponding tyre size
applies.

Safety note
WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and
sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a
danger of accidents. Check the tyre
inflation pressure regularly and adjust
as necessary, for example twice a
month or before any long journey

for the respective load conditions
will apply, in accordance with the
vehicle's actual load condition.
Example: for a partially loaded
vehicle, the optimum tyre inflation
pressure is the one stated for a par-
tially loaded vehicle.
More information regarding wheels
and tyres can be obtained from any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The current tire pressure of each
installed wheel can be displayed on
the control display.
To ensure that they are displayed
correctly, the tyre sizes must be
stored in the system and must have
been set, see page 290, for the
mounted tyres.
The current tyre inflation pressure
value is shown on each tyre.Tyres heat up while driving. The
tyre inflation pressure increases
with the temperature of the tyre.
Tyres have a natural, uniform loss
of tyre inflation pressure.
Inflating devices can display a pres-
sure that may be up to 0.1 bar too
low.
The tyre inflation pressure inscrip-
tions on the tyre inflation pressure
sign on the door pillar only relate to
cold tyres or tyres at the same tem-
perature as the ambient tempera-
ture.
Only check the tyre inflation pres-
sures when the tyres are cold, i.e.:
• A driving distance of max. 2 km,
1.25 miles has not been
exceeded.
• If the vehicle has not moved
again for at least 2 hours after a
journey.
Regularly check the tyre inflation
pressure of the emergency wheel in
the boot and correct the pressure if
necessary.

inflation pressures for the tyres For Australia/New Zealand
WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre
label are applicable only for tyres
explicitly mentioned on the label.
Inflation pressures for tyres that may
be covered by the label – by size,
speed category and load rating/load
index – but not explicitly mentioned
on the label may be different. Please
obtain adequate inflation pressures in
accordance with the tyre manufac-
turer's specifications from your tyre
dealer.

The tyre tread depth should not be
less than 3 mm, 0.12 in, otherwise
there is a high risk of aquaplaning.
The tyre tread depth should not be
less than 4 mm, 0.16 in, otherwise
the vehicle's suitability for winter
use is restricted.

mum height of 1.6 mm, approxi-
mately 0.06 in.
The positions of the wear displays
are identified on the tyre's side wall
by TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Inspect tyres regularly for damage,
the presence of foreign bodies and
wear.
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate
tyre damage or other faults:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tyre or running noises.
• Unusual vehicle response, such
as pronounced pulling to the left
or right.
Damage can be caused by the fol-
lowing situations, for example:
• Driving over kerbs.
• Road damage.
• Tyre inflation pressure insuffi-
cient.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tyre storage.
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth,
change tyres after 6 years at the
latest.
The date of manufacture of the tyre
is indicated on the tyre sidewall.

General
Safety notes
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre
inflation pressure may be reduced,
which in turn could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. If you suspect tyre
damage while you are driving, imme-
diately reduce speed and bring the
vehicle to a stop. Have the wheels
and tyres checked. To do so, carefully
drive to any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer. If necessary, have
the vehicle towed or transported
there. Do not repair damaged tyres,
but have them replaced instead.
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by run-
ning over obstacles, for example
kerbs or road damage, at high speed.
Larger wheels have a smaller tyre
cross-section. The smaller the tyre
cross-section, the higher the risk of
tyre damage. There is a danger of
accidents and damage to property. If
possible, drive around obstacles or
drive over them slowly and carefully.

Safety notes
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable
for your vehicle can damage parts of
the vehicle. For example they could
come into contact with the bodywork
on account of their dimensional toler-
ances, despite having the same nomi-
nal size. There is a danger of
accidents. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels
and tyres that have been categorised
as suitable for the respective vehicle
type.
WARNING
Mounted steel wheels can lead to
technical problems, for example
wheel studs may work loose or brake
discs may be damaged. There is a
danger of accidents. Do not install
steel wheels.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel/tyre combinations
impair the vehicle's handling charac-
teristics and interfere with the proper
functioning of various systems, such
as the Anti-lock Brake System or
Vehicle Stability Control. There is a
danger of accidents. To maintain good
vehicle handling, always fit tyres of
the same make and tread pattern to
all wheels. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels
and tyres that have been categorised
as suitable for the respective vehicle
type. After a tyre has been damaged,
refit the same wheel/tyre combination
as the original.

Due to the manufacturing process,
new tyres do not provide maximum
grip immediately.
Drive moderately for the first 300
km, 200 miles.
The manufacturer of your vehicle
advises against the use of
retreaded tyres.
Winter tyres are recommended if
driving in winter conditions.
Although so-called all-season tyres
with an M+S label have better win-
ter characteristics than summer
tyres, they do not normally match
the performance of winter tyres.
If winter tyres are fitted, observe
and do not exceed the respectively
permitted maximum speed.For your own safety, only use
run-flat tyres. There is no spare
wheel available in the event of a
breakdown. Additional information
is available from any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Swapping the front wheels with the
rear wheels or vice versa is not per-
mitted on vehicles with different tyre
or rim dimensions on the front and
rear axles.
Do not exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure indicated on the
tyre's side wall.
Store wheels and tyres in a cool,
dry and dark place when not in use.
Protect the tyres against contami-
nation from oil, grease and sol-
vents.
Do not leave tyres in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from the wheels or
tyres. New tyres
Retreaded tyres
WARNING
Retreaded tyres may have different
tyre carcasses. Their durability may
be reduced with increasing age.
There is a danger of accidents. Do
not use retreaded tyres.
