7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
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

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
Fluid leaks under the vehicle.
(Water dripping from the air con-
ditioning after use is normal.)
Flat-looking tires or uneven tire
wear
Engine coolant temperature
gauge needle continually points
higher than normal.
Changes in exhaust sound
Excessive tire squeal when cor-
nering
Strange noises related to the
suspension system
Pinging or other noises related to
the engine
Engine missing, stumbling or
running roughly
Appreciable loss of power
Vehicle pulls heavily to one side
when braking
Vehicle pulls heavily to one side
when driving on a level road
Loss of brake effectiveness,
spongy feeling, pedal almost
touches the floor
If you think something is
wrong
If you notice any of the follow-
ing symptoms, your vehicle
probably needs adjustment or
repair. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer as soon as possi-
ble.
