Maintenance and care
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 any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Toyota does not recommend using
the following:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When removing the wheel orna- ment (vehicles with a wheel cap clip)
Remove the wheel ornament using the
wheel cap clip*.*: The wheel cap clip is installed in
under the luggage compartment.
WARNING
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting
from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
●Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards, expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
B e s ur e t o pu t th e t i r e v al ve ca ps ba ck
on. If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or
heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire
may separate from the wheel
or cause a loss of handling
control.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Use only Toyota wheel bolts and
wheel bolt wrenches designed
for use with your aluminum
wheels.
When rotating, repairing or
changing your tires, check that
the wheel bolts are still tight after
driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
Be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when bal-
ancing your wheels.
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a differ-
ent size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leak-ing wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
■Use of defective wheels prohib-ited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly
causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.Tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may not work properly with non-genuine wheels.

WARNING
■Removed battery and other parts
These parts are small and if swal- lowed by a child, they can cause choking. Keep away from children.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
■Battery precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not swallow the battery. Doing
so may cause chemical burns.
●A coin battery or button battery is used in the wireless remote control key (vehicles without a smart entry
& start system) or electronic key (vehicles with a smart entry & start system). If a battery is swallowed, it
may cause severe chemical burns i n a s l it t l e as 2 ho u r s a n d m ay r e su lt in death or serious injury.
●Keep away new and removed bat-teries from children.
●If the cover cannot be firmly closed, stop using the wireless remote con-

start system). and stow the key in the place where children cannot reach, and then contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●If you accidentally swallow a battery or put a battery into a part of your
body, get emergency medical atten- tion immediately.
■To prevent battery explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas
●Replace the battery with a new bat-tery of the same type. If a wrong type of battery is used, it may
explode.
●Do not expose batteries to
extremely low pressure due to high altitude or extremely high tempera-tures.
●Do not burn, break or cut a battery.
