Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size,
and that are the same size,
same maker, same brand and

●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.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from Toyota dealers or
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects
the operation of the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters.
Before driving the vehicle
2664-7. Driving tips
chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is fro-
zen, the window safety device
will operate and the side win-
dow open/close function
linked to door operation may
not operate correctly. If this
occurs, perform the following
after the ice has melted.
After opening the window to the
approximately half open posi-
tion, perform initialization.
( P.129)
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic
transmission), or 1 or R (man-
ual transmission) without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted 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 system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
Tire chains cannot be used on
your vehicle because of the lack
of clearance between the tires
and vehicle body.
When tire chains cannot be
used, use of another type of
traction device (such as spring
chains) may be acceptable if
use on your vehicle is recom-
mended by the device manufac-
turer, taking into account tire
size and road conditions. Follow
the device manufacturer's
instructions, especially regard-
ing maximum vehicle speed.

WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to parts of t he drivetrain as
well as dangerous handling char-
acteristics, which may lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●Make sure to install 4 tires that
are of the specified size, and
that all 4 tires are the same size,
same maker, same brand and
tread pattern.
●Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended by Toyota.
●Only use radial tires.
●Do not mix summer, all season
and snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been
used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not
know how they were used previ-
ously.
NOTICE
■Low profile tires
Low profile tires may cause
greater damage than usual to the
tire wheel when sustaining impact
from the road surface. Therefore,
pay attention to the following:
●Be sure to use proper tire infla-
tion pressure. If tires are
under-inflated, they may be
damaged more severely.
●Avoid potholes, uneven pave-
ment, curbs and other road haz-
ards. Failure to do so may lead
to severe tire a nd wheel dam-
age.
■If tire inflation pressure of
each tire becomes low while
driving
Do not continue driving, or your
tires and/or wheels may be
ruined.
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving
on roads with loose surfaces or
potholes.
These conditions may cause
losses in tire inflation pressure,
reducing the cushioning ability of
the tires. In addition, driving on
rough roads may cause damage
to the tires themselves, as well as
the vehicle’s wheels and body.
Tire rotation
3156-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Maintenance and care
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters 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 the tire pressure drops
below a predetermined level,
the driver is warned by a screen display and a warning
light. (
P.354)
■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks . Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine o f daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the engine switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after infl ation pressure
has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes
with temperature. The displayed
values may also be different from
the values measured using a tire
pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-support ed run-flat tire
