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.
Before refuelling, observe the notes
on fuel quality, see page 307.
When refuelling, insert the filler
nozzle fully into the filler neck. Lift-
ing the filler nozzle during refuelling
results in the following:
The fuel supply being cut off pre-
maturely.
Fuel vapour and fumes being
recovered less effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler
nozzle cuts out for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regu-
lations displayed at filling stations.1Briefly press the rear edge of
the fuel filler flap.

NOTICE
If the range drops below 50 km, 30
miles, the engine may no longer be
supplied with sufficient fuel. Engine
function is no longer ensured. There
is a danger of damage to property.
Refuel in good time.
NOTICE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage
the fuel system. If fuel comes into
contact with paintwork, it can damage
them. This pollutes the environment.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Avoid overfilling.

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.
1Determine the specified tyre
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.

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.

Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used instead.
The system monitors the tyre infla-
tion pressure in the four fitted tyres.
The system warns if the tyre infla-
tion pressure in one or more tyres
has fallen.
Sensors in the tyre valves measure
the tyre inflation pressure and tyre
temperature.
The system detects the fitted tyres
automatically. The system shows
the preset specified pressures on
the Control Display and compares
them to the current tyre inflation
pressures.
If tyres are fitted which are not
listed on the tyre inflation pressure
labels in the vehicle, see page 278, for example tyres with special
approval, the system must be
actively reset. The current tyre
inflation pressures are then
accepted as the specified values.
To operate the system, also please
comply with the other information
and notes in the chapter Tyre infla-
tion pressure, see page 278.
The following requirements must be
met for the system, otherwise relia-
ble signalling of a loss of tyre infla-
tion pressure is not ensured:
• After each tyre or wheel change,
the system has detected the fit-
ted tyres, updated the relevant
information and, after a short
journey, shown it on the Control
Display.

WARNING
The display showing the specified
tyre inflation pressures does not
replace the tyre inflation pressure
information on the vehicle. If incorrect
data has been entered into the tyre
settings, the specified tyre inflation
pressures will also be incorrect. As a
result, reliable signalling of a loss of
tyre inflation pressure can no longer
be guaranteed. There is a danger of
injury and damage to property. Make
sure that the tyre sizes of the fitted
tyres are displayed correctly and that
they match the specifications on the
tyres and the tyre inflation pressure
information.

• In the case of tyres with special
approval:
• After every tyre or wheel change, a
reset must be carried out with the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
• A reset must be carried out after the
tyre inflation pressure has been
adjusted to a new value.
• Wheels with TPM wheel elec-
tronics.
If the system does not detect the
tyres automatically, the specifica-
tions for the fitted tyres can be
entered in the tyre settings.
The tyre sizes of the fitted tyres can
be found in the tyre inflation pres-
sure information, see page 278, or
directly on the tyres.
The tyre specifications do not have
to be re-entered if the tyre inflation
pressure is corrected.
For summer and winter tyres, the
last tyre specifications entered in
each case are saved. This means
that the settings of the sets of tyres

Safety note
WARNING
A damaged normal tyre with too little
or no tyre inflation pressure impairs
driving characteristics, for example
steering and braking. Tyres with
run-flat properties allow a limited level
of stability to be maintained. There is
a danger of accidents. Do not con-
tinue driving if the vehicle is fitted with
normal tyres. Comply with the notes
on run-flat tyres and continuing to
drive with these tyres.
If a tyre inflation pressure test is
required
SymbolPossible cause
The tyre was not inflated
properly, for example
insufficient air was added
or there was a natural,
even loss of tyre inflation
pressure.
If the tyre inflation pressure is
insufficient
A yellow warning lamp is
illuminated in the instru-
ment cluster.
