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.

■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.

4807-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
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.
Vehicles without a full-size spare
tire.
Front
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

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.

■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)

Maintenance and care
■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

■When initialization of the tire pres-
sure warning system has failed
Initialization can be completed in a few
minutes. However, in the following
cases, the settings have not been recorded and the system will not oper-
ate properly. If repeated attempts to
record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink 3 times.
●After driving for a certain period of
time since the initialization has been
completed, the wa rning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with a
unique ID code. When replacing a
tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, it is necessary to regis-
ter the ID code. Have the ID code
registered by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Your vehicle is equipped with tire
pressure warning system with the
function to have ID codes regis-
tered for a second wheel set, for
example a winter set, by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
After registration of a second wheel
set, either of these two wheel sets
can be selected for usage with the
tire pressure warning system.
■Operating conditions for the
function
 This function will perform the
change of wheel set only if a sec-
ond wheel set has been regis-
tered. If no second wheel set has
been registered, no change will
be made when selecting this
function in the menu.
 Only a change between both
registered wheel set is possible,
mixing between these wheel sets
is not supported.
■How to change between wheel
sets
1 Have the vehicle fitted with the
preferred wheel set.

■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not initialize the tire pressure warning system withou t first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the speci-
fied level. Otherwise, the tire pressure warning light may not come on even if
the tire inflation pressure is low, or it
may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

■Effects of incorrect tire inflation
pressure
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.
