Maintenance and care
Check if the treadwear indicators  
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 indi- 
cators 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 inter-
nal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot 
be properly repaired due to the size or  location of a cut or other damage 
If you are not sure, consult with any  
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  authorized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer.
■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.
■If the tread on snow tires wears  down below 4 mm (0.16 in.) 
The effectiveness of the tires as snow  
tires is lost.
■Checking the tire valves 
When replacing the tires, check the tire  valves for deformation, cracks, and  
other damage.
Tires
Replace or rotate tires in  
accordance with maintenance 
schedules and treadwear.
Checking tires

■When inspecting or replacing  tires 
Observe the following precautions to  
prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause damage  
to parts of the drive train as well as 
dangerous handling characteristics,  which may lead to an accident result- 
ing in death or serious injury.

Rotate the tires in the order shown. 
Front
To equalize tire wear and help extend  
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire 
rotation is carried out approximately 
every 10000 km (6000 miles). 
When rotating front and rear tires which  
have different tire inflation pressures, 
do not fail to initialize the tire pressure 
warning system afte r tire rotation.
Rotate the tires in the order shown.

WA R N I N G
●Do not mix tires of different makes,  
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably  different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently constructed  
tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply  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 previously.
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire: 
Do not tow if your vehicle has a  compact spare tire installed.
NOTICE
■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 addi-
tion, driving on rough roads may  cause damage to the tires them- 
selves, as well as the vehicle’s 
wheels and body.

Maintenance and care
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire 
Front
To equalize tire wear and help extend  
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire 
rotation is carried out approximately 
every 10000 km (6000 miles).
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire  
pressure warning system that uses 
tire pressure warning valves and 
transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious prob-
lems arise. 
If the tire pressure drops below a  
predetermined level, the driver is 
warned by a warning light. 
( P.515)
■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 of daily  vehicle checks.
■Situations in which the tire pres- 
sure warning system may not oper-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres- 
sure 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-supported run-flat tire is  equipped. 
• If a window tint that affects the radio 
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  
extremely higher than the specified 
level. • If tires not equipped with tire pressure  
warning valves and transmitters are 
used. • If the ID code on the tire pressure  
warning valves and transmitters is not 
registered in the tire pressure warning  computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations. 
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, 
gas station, radio station, large dis- play, airport or other facility that gen- 
erates strong radio waves or electrical 
noise. • When carrying a portable radio, cellu- 
lar phone, cordless phone or other 
wireless communication device.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time 
taken for the warning to start or go off  could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has  
burst, the warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire 
pressure warning system 
The warning of the tire pressure warning  system will change in accordance with  
driving conditions. For this reason, the 
system may give a warning even if the  tire pressure does not reach a low  
enough level, or if the pressure is higher 
Tire pressure warning sys- 
tem (if equipped)

than the pressure th at was adjusted to  
when the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels, tire  
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed. 
When new tire pressure warning  
valves and transmitters are 
installed, new ID  codes must be  
registered in the tire pressure warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure 
warning system must be initialized. 
Have tire pressure warning valves 
and transmitter ID codes regis-
tered any authorized Toyota retailer 
or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer. ( P.484)
■Replacing tires and wheels 
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn- 
ing valve and transmitter is not regis-
tered, the tire pre ssure warning system  
will not work properly. After driving for  about 10 minutes, the tire pressure  
warning light blinks for 1 minute and 
stays on to indicate  a system malfunc- tion.

NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires,  
wheels, tire pressure warning 
valves, transmitters and tire  valve caps
●When removing or fitting the  
wheels, tires or the tire pressure  warning valves and transmitters,  
contact any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer as  the tire pressure warning valves  
and transmitters may be damaged 
if not handled correctly.
●Make sure to install the tire valve 
caps. If the tire valve caps are not  installed, water could enter the tire  
pressure warning valves and the 
tire pressure warning valves could  be bound.
●When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than  
those specified. The cap may 
become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire pres-
sure warning valves and trans- mitters 
When a tire is repaired with liquid  
sealants, the tire pressure warning  valve and transmitter may not operate  
properly. If a liquid sealant is used, 
contact any authorized Toyota retailer  or Toyota authorized repairer, or any  
reliable repairer as soon as possible. 
Make sure to replac e the tire pressure  warning valve and transmitter when  
replacing the tire. ( P.482)

■The tire pressure warning sys- 
tem must be init ialized in the  
following circumstances: 
 When rotating front and rear tires  
which have different tire inflation 
pressures. 
 When changing the tire size. 
 When the tire inflation pressure  
is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load 
weight. 
 When changing between two  
registered wheel sets. 
When the tire pressure warning  
system is initialized , the current tire  
inflation pressure is set as the 
benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize  the tire pres- 
sure warning system 
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place  
and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while  the vehicle is moving.
2 Adjust the tire inflation pressure  
to the specified co ld tire inflation  
pressure level. ( P.573)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to  
the specified cold tire inflation pressure  level. The tire pre ssure warning system  
will operate based on this pressure 
level.

Pressure”. Then press and hold  
 until the tire pressure warn- 
ing light blinks 3 times.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initialization  after adjusting the tire inflation pres- 
sure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold  before carrying out initialization or tire  
inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the 
engine switch off during initialization, it 
is not necessary to press the reset  switch again as initialization will  
restart automatically when the engine 
switch is turned to ON the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset 
switch when initialization is not neces- sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure  
to the specified level when the tires 
are cold, and conduct initialization
