■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

Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor  
handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train 
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it  checked by any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer.
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper  
tire inflation pressure. Tire 
inflation pressure should be 
checked at least once per 
month. However, Toyota rec-
ommends that tire inflation 
pressure be checked once 
every two weeks. ( P. 5 7 3 )

■Instructions for checking tire infla- 
tion pressure 
When checking tire inflation pressure,  
observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at 
least 3 hours or has not been driven  for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you  
will get an accurate cold tire inflation 
pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly  inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-sure to be higher after driving as heat  
is generated in the tire. Do not reduce 
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight 
should be placed so that the vehicle is  balanced.
WA R N I N G
■Proper inflation is critical to save  
tire performance 
Keep your tires properly inflated. If the tires are not properly inflated,  
the following conditions may occur 
which could lead to an accident  resulting in death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●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 
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back  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.

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 (vehicles  
with a tire pressure warning sys- tem) 
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, the tire pressure warning 
valves and transmitters must be  installed. ( P.482)
■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 the  
glove box. ( P.440)
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.
Wheel selection
WA R N I N G
■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.
■When installing the wheel nuts
●Be sure to install the wheel nuts  
with the tapered ends facing 
inward. ( P.547) Installing the nuts  with the tapered ends facing out- 
ward can cause the wheel to break 
and eventually cause the wheel to  come off while driving, which could  
lead to an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury. 

4887-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and  
wheel nut wrenches designed for 
use with your aluminum wheels. 
 When rotating, repairing or  
changing your tires, check that 
the wheel nuts ar e 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.
WA R N I N G
●Never use oil or grease on the  
wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the  wheel nuts to be excessively tight- 
ened, leading to bolt or disc wheel 
damage. In addition, the oil or  grease can cause the wheel nuts to  
loosen and the wheel may fall off, 
causing an accident and resulting in 
death or serious injury. Remove any  oil or grease from the wheel bolts or  
wheel nuts.
■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 (vehicles 
with a tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
●Because tire repair or replacement 
may affect the tire  pressure warning  
valves and transmitters, make sure  to have tires serviced by any  
authorized 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.
