Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle's painted surfaces, as well as
damaging the pump leading to problems of the washer fluid not spraying.
■ Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as necessary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid bot-
tle.

Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. Also check
the tires for uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side o f the
tread.
Check the spare tire condition and pressure if not rotated.
New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark,
etc., molded into the s idewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
Tires
Replace or rotate tires in accordance with maintenance sched-
ules and treadwear.

Vehicles without P245/60R20 tires
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Vehicles with P245/60R20 tires
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that

Maintenance and care
4RUNNER (U)
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valve and t ransmitters to detect low tire inflation
pressure before serious problems arise.
● The tire pressure detected by
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem can be displayed on the
multi-information display.
*:If equipped
●If the tire pressure drops below
a predetermined level, the
driver is warned by a screen
display and a warning light.

◆Installing tire pressure warning valve and transmitters
When replacing the tires or wheels, the tire pressure warning v alve
and transmitters must be install ed to the wheels which will be
installed to the vehicle.
When new tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. ( P. 439)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load weight.
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the ti re
size is changed.
● When rotating the tires.
● After performing the transmitter ID code registration procedure .
(  P. 439)
When the tire pressure warning sy stem is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off .
The initialization procedure cannot be started while the vehicle is
moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire i nflation
pressure level. ( P. 540)
Make sure to adjust the tire pre ssure to the specified cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will oper ate
based on this pr essure level.
Start the engine. ( P. 207, 210)
Select on the multi-information display using the meter con-
trol switches on the steering wheel. ( P. 9 8 )
Select “Vehicle Settings” and then press and hold .
Select “TPWS” and then press .

Select “Set Pressure” then
press and hold until the
tire pressure warning light
blinks 3 times.
Then a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
“---” will be displayed on the
multi-information display for
the inflation pressure of each
tire while initialization is being
performed.
Drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes.
Initialization is complete when the position of each tire is determined
and the inflation pressure of ea ch tire is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Initialization may ta ke longer than approximately 1 hour in cer tain
situations, such as when the veh icle is stopped for a long time at
traffic lights, etc. ( P. 444)
◆Registering ID codes
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmit ter,
it is necessary to reg ister the ID codes.
The ID codes can be registered on of the multi-information dis -
play.

trol switches on the steering wheel. ( P. 9 8 )
Select “Vehicle Settings” and then press and hold .
Select “TPWS” and then press .
Select “Change Wheel Set”
then press and hold until
the tire pressure warning
light blinks slowly 3 times.
Then a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
When registration is being per-
formed, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blink for
approximately 1 minute then
illuminate and “---” will be dis-
played for the inflation pres-
sure of each tire on the multi-
information display.
Drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes.
Registration is complete when the tire pressure warning light t urns
off and the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-
information display.
Registration may take longer than approximately 1 hour in certain
situations, such as when the veh icle is stopped for a long time at
traffic lights, etc. ( P. 445)
After registering the ID codes, make sure to initialize the tir e pres-
