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.

■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.
