4687-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Check if the treadwear indica-
tors are showing on the tires.
Also check the tires for uneven
wear, such as excessive wear
on one side of 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 sidewall of
each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear
indicators are showing on a tire.
■When to replace your vehicle’s
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are
showing on a tire
●You have tire damage such as
cuts, splits, cracks deep enough
to expose the fabric, and bulges
indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or can-
not be properly repaired due to the
size or location of a cut or other
damage
If you are not sure, consult with your
Toyota dealer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be
checked by a qualified technician
even if it has seldom or never been
used or damage is not obvious.
■Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the
replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings
(GAWR) of either the front axle or
the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label.
For the maximum load of the tire,
see the load limit at maximum cold
tire inflation pressure mentioned on
the sidewall of the tire. ( P.552)

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire
with a standard tire as soon as
possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
■When the compact spare tire
is attached
The vehicle speed may not be
correctly detected, and the follow-
ing systems may not operate cor-
rectly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC
• TRAC
• Automatic High Beam
• AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
• EPS
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Tire pressure warning system
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) (if equipped)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)
• RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) function (if equipped)
• Rear view monitor system (if equipped)
Also, not only can the following
system not be utilized fully, but it
may even negatively affect the
drive-train components:
• AWD system (AWD models)
■Speed limit when using the
compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess
of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a com-
pact spare tire is installed on the
vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not
designed for driving at high
speeds. Failure to observe this
precaution may lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the
tools and jack are securely in
place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal
injury during a collision or sudden
braking.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over
bumps with the compact
spare tire installed on the
vehicle.
The vehicle becomes lower when
driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with
standard tires. Be careful when
driving over uneven road sur-
faces.
■Driving with tire chains and
the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the com-
pact spare tire. Tire chains may
damage the vehicle body and
adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.

molded on its sidewall. This tire is designed for temporary emergency use
only.
Tire size ( P.554)
DOT and Tire Identification Number (TIN) ( P.554)
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P.468)
Location of treadwear indicators ( P.468)
Maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P.548)
This means the pressure to wh ich a tire may be inflated.
Tire ply composition and materials
Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands
which form the plies in a tire.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE
A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire. A
