3As soon as there is an opportu-
nity, check the tyre inflation
pressure in all four tyres.
In the case of tyres with special
approval: if all four tyres are inflated to
the correct tyre inflation pressures, the
Tyre Pressure Monitor might not have
been reset. Perform a reset.
■Possible driving distance with
a deflated tyre
The possible driving distance varies
depending on the load and stresses
the vehicle is subjected to, for
example speed, road properties,
outside temperature. The driving
distance can be shorter or, if the
driving style is more careful, longer.
If the vehicle is moderately loaded
and used under favourable condi-
tions, it is possible to travel up to 80
km, 50 miles.
■Driving properties with dam-
aged tyres
On a journey with damaged tyres,
handling characteristics change
and may result in the following situ-
ations, for example:
• The vehicle losing traction more
quickly.
• Longer braking distances.
• Different self-steering character-
istics.
Adapt your driving style. Avoid
abrupt steering or driving over
obstacles, for example kerbs or
potholes.
■Final tyre failure
Vibration or loud noises during the journey may be an indication that
the tyre has finally failed.
Reduce your speed and stop the
vehicle. Parts of the tyre could
detach, which might lead to an acci-
dent.
Do not continue driving, but contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
The tyre inflation pressure depends
on the temperature of the tyre.
The tyre inflation pressure
increases as the tyre temperature
increases, for example during driv-
ing or due to exposure to sunlight.
Tyre inflation pressure decreases if
the tyre temperature drops.
Through this behaviour, a warning
may be triggered if there are major
temperature drops, due to the given
warning limits.
After a temperature-related warn-
ing, the specified pressures are dis-
played again on the Control Display
after a short distance.
No warning can be given by the
system of extreme, sudden tyre fail-
ure caused by external factors.System limits

flat tyre kit, it is not always neces-
sary to change a wheel immedi-
ately if tyre inflation pressure is lost
due to a flat tyre.

accessories from any authorized

General
Safety notes
WARNING
The jack is only intended for raising
the vehicle briefly during a wheel
change. Even if the safety measures
are complied with, there is a risk of
the raised vehicle falling over due
tothe jack slipping. There is a danger
of injury or even death. If the vehicle
is raised with the jack, do not lie
underneath the vehicle and do not
start the engine.
WARNING
Supports such as wooden blocks
under the vehicle jack can prevent it
from achieving its load capacity due
to the restricted height. The load
capacity of the wooden blocks may be
exceeded, causing the vehicle to tip
over. There is a danger of injury or
even death. Do not place supports
under the vehicle jack.

The vehicle manufacturer recom-
mends that the vehicle should addi-
tionally be protected against rolling
away during a wheel change.
WARNING
The jack, issued by the vehicle manu-
facturer, is provided in order to per-
form a wheel change in the event of a
breakdown. The jack is not designed
for frequent use; for example, chang-
ing from summer to winter tyres.
Using the jack frequently may cause it
to become jammed or damaged.
There is a danger of injury and dam-
age to property. Only use the jack to
change an emergency wheel or a
spare wheel in the event of a flat tyre.
WARNING
On soft, uneven or slippery ground,
for example, snow, ice, tiles or similar,
the jack may slip. There is a danger of
injury. Perform the wheel change on a
level, firm and non-slip surface if at all
possible.
WARNING
The jack is only optimised for raising
the vehicle and for use with the jack-
ing points on the vehicle. There is a
danger of injury. Do not lift another
vehicle or other items with the jack.
WARNING
If the jack has not been guided intot
he jacking point provided, the vehicle
might be damaged when the jack is
extended, or the jack could slip. There
is a danger of injury or damage to
property. When extending, make sure
that the jack is guided into the jacking
point adjacent to the wheelhouse.
WARNING
A vehicle raised with a jack can fall
from the jack if lateral forces are
applied. There is a danger of injury
and damage to property. If the vehi-
cleis raised, do not apply any lateral
forces to the vehicle or pull the vehi-
cle with sudden movements. Have
any wheel that is jammed removed by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
WARNING
The jack supplied with your vehicle
should not be used for any purpose
other than wheel changing and
should never be used in conjunction
with a vehicle support stand. Raising
the vehicle for the purpose of inspec-
tion should only be performed in a
controlled workshop environment on
a hoist by trained personnel.
The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible. It is rec-
ommended that the wheels of the
vehicle be chocked, and that no per-
son should remain in a vehicle that is
being jacked.
The jack of your Toyota is mainte-
nance-free. Please observe the infor-
mation marked on the jack.

wheel can be used as a replace-
ment for the defective tyre. The
emergency wheel is intended for
short-term use until the defective
