WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
There  is  a  limit  to  the  degree  of  recognition  accuracy  and  cont rol  perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this  system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicl e’ surroundings
and driving safely.
■ To ensure the system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in  the  vehicle  being  unable  to  be  driven  safely
and possibly cause an accident.
● Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
● Do not attach a sticker or install an electronic component, such as a backlit
license  plate  (especially  fluorescent  type),  fog  lights,  fender   pole  or  wire-
less antenna near a radar sensor.
● Do  not  subject  the  surrounding  area  of  the  sensor  to  a  strong  impact.  If
subjected to an impact, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
If the front or rear bumper needs to be removed/installed or replaced, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
● Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
● Do not attach a license plate cover.
● Keep your tires properly inflated.
■ When to disable the function
In  the  following  situations,  disable  the  function  as  it  may  operate  even
though there is no possibility of a collision.
● Failing to observe the warnings above.
● A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
■ Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor a rea.
Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.
● When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do not spray the
sensors directly, as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction .
● When  using  steam  to  clean  the  vehicle,  do  not  direct  steam  too  close  to
the sensors as doing so may cause a sensor to malfunction.
● When using an automatic car wash, disable the intuitive parking  assist

Regulations  regarding  the  use  of  tire  chains  vary  depending  on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before in stalling
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 front tires. Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.
● Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains after
driving 1/4   1/2 mile (0.5  1.0 km).
● Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.
Regulations on the use of tire chains
WARNING
■ Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. 
Failure  to  do  so  may  result  in  a  loss  of  vehicle  control  and  ca use  death  or
serious injury.
● Use tires of the size specified.
● 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 (vehicles with 16 and 17-inch tires)
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. 
Failure  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 vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
● Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system.

Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to hi
ghway
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. 377)
■If the tread on snow tires wea rs down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
■Situations  in  which  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  op er-
ate properly
●In  the  following  situations,  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  m ay  not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. 
• If  a  tire  has  been  replaced  with  a  tire  that  is  not  an  OE  (Ori ginal
Equipment) tire.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the spe cified size.
• If tire chains, e tc. are installed.
• If a window tint that affects r adio wave signals is installed.
• If  there  is  a  lot  of  snow  or  ice  on  the  vehicle,  particularly  around  the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure  is much higher than the specifi ed level.
• If wheels not equipped with tire pressure warning valve and tr ansmit-
ter are used.
• If the ID codes of the tire pre ssure warning valve and transmi tters are
not registered in the tire  pressure warning computer.

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim wid th 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 valve
and  transmitters  that  allow  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  to  provide
advance  warning  in  the  event  of  a  loss  in  tire  inflation  pressu re.  When-
ever  wheels  are  replaced,  tire  pressure  warning  valve  and  trans mitters
must be installed. ( P. 475)
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.
