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 replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire
inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed.
( P.479)
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.

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 seri-ous injury.
■Wheel bolts
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury:
●Do not over tighten.
●Never use oil or grease on the
wheel bolts. Oil and grease may cause the wheel bolts to be exces-sively tightened, leading to bolt or
disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel bolts to loosen and the wheel may
fall off, causing a serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts.
●If there are any cracks or deforma-tions in the wheel bolts, or if the sur-
face treatment becomes worn, have the wheel bolts replaced at your any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Failure to follow these precautions could cause the
wheel bolts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in 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.

When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the power
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at under 30
km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
WARNING
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain or
related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation of
the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Right-hand drive vehicles: Do not
tow the vehicle from the rear when the power switch is OFF. The steer-ing lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to prevent body damage.

1 Disconnect the hose from the valve.
2 Install the air release cap to the end of the hose and push the protrusion
on the air release cap into the valve to let some air out.
3 Disconnect the hose from the valve,
remove the air release cap from the hose and then reconnect the hose.
4 Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it
off. Check that the air pressure indi- cator shows the specified air pres-sure is reached. ( P.559)
If the air pressure is under the desig- nated pressure, turn the compres-sor switch on again and repeat the
inflation procedure until the specified air pressure is reached.
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
