4-6. Driving tips
●Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting  the
parking brake. The parking brake  may freeze up, preventing it from
being  released.  If  the  vehicle  is  parked  without  setting  the  pa rking
brake, make sure to  block the wheels. 
Failure to do so may be dangerou s because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, pos sibly leading to an accident.
● If  the  vehicle  is  parked  without   setting  the  parking  brake,  confirm
that the shift lever c annot be moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifte d from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift  lever can be
shifted  from  P,  there  may  be  a  problem  with  the  shift  lock  syst em.  Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
Use the correct tire ch ain size when mounting the snow chains. 
Chain size is regulate d for each tire size.
Side chain
(0.20 in. [5 mm] in diameter)
Cross chain
(0.25 in. [6.3 mm] in diameter)
Regulations  regarding  the  use  of  tire  chains  vary  depending  on  loca-
tion and type of road. Always chec k local regulations before installing
chains.
■ Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing  chains:
● Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
● Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on the front tires.
● Install  tire  chains  on  rear  tires  as  tightly  as  possible.  Retig hten  chains  after
driving 1/4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).
● Install tire chains following the instructions provided with th e tire chains.

WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of acciden ts.
Failure  to  do  so  may  result  in  a  loss  of  vehicle  control  and  ca use  death  or
serious injury.
● Use tires of the specified size.
● Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
● Do  not  drive  in  excess  of  75  mph  (120  km/h),  regardless  of  the  type  of
snow tires being used.
● Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■ Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of acciden ts.
Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in  the  vehicle  being  unable  to  be  d riven  safely,
and may cause death or serious injury.
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tir e chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
● Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
● Avoid  sudden  acceleration,  abrupt  steering,  sudden  braking  and  shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
● Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that v ehicle con-
trol is maintained.
● Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request  repairs  or  replacement  of  snow  tires  from Toyota  dealer s  or  legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affect s the opera-
tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■ Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not funct ion correctly
when tire chains are fitted.

■Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Si nce summer tires do not have th e same
traction  performance  as  snow  tires,  summer  tires  are  inadequate  for
driving  on  snow-covered  or  icy  ro ads.  For  driving  on  snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When  install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
●All season tires
All  season  tires  are  designed  to  provide  better  traction  in  sno w  and  to
be  adequate  for  driving  in  most  winter  conditions  as  well  as  fo r  use
year-round.  All  season  tires,  however,  do  not  have  adequate  tra ction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Al so, all
season  tires  fall  short  in  acceleration  and  handling  performanc e  com-
pared with summer tires in highway driving.
●Snow tires
For  driving  on  snow-covered  roads  or  icy  roads,  we  recommend  us ing
snow  tires.  If  you  need  snow  tires,  select  tires  of  the  same  si ze,  con-
struction  and  load  capacity  as  t he  originally  installed  tires. Since  your
vehicle  has  radial  tires  as  original  equipment,  make  sure  your  snow
tires  also  have  radial  construct ion.  Do  not  install  studded  tires  without
first  checking  local  regulations  for  possible  restrictions.  Sno w  tires
should be install ed on all wheels. ( P. 389)
■When rotating the tires
Make  sure  that  the  engine  switch  is  off.  If  the  tires  are  rotat ed while the
engine  switch  is  in  IGNITION  ON  mode,  the  tire  position  informa tion  will
not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the engine switch to o ff and then to
IGNITION  ON  mode,  or  initialize  th e  system  after  checking  that the  tire
pressure is properly adjusted.

Maintenance and care
Wheels
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in  load capacity, diameter, rim width, and
inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
● Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that hav e been straightened
● Use  only  Toyota  wheel  nuts  and  wrenches  designed  for  use  with
your aluminum wheels.
● When  rotating,  repairing  or  changi ng  your  tires,  check  that  the
wheel nuts are still tight afte r driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
● Be  careful  not  to  damage  the  aluminum  wheels  when  using  tire
chains.
● Use only Toyota genuine balance we ights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
■When replacing wheels
The  wheels  of  your  vehicle  are  equipped  with  tire  pressure  warn ing
valves  and  transmitters  that  allow  the  tire  pressure  warning  sy stem  to
provide  advance  warning  in  the  event  of  a  loss  in  tire  inflatio n  pressure.
Whenever  wheels  are  replaced,  tir e  pressure  warning  valves  and trans-
mitters must be installed. ( P. 483)
If  a  wheel  is  bent,  cracked  or  heavily  corroded,  it  should  be
replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss o f
handling control.
