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
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, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters mu st be installed.
( P.304)
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 seri- ous injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
Never use oil or grease on the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and grease
may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, 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
●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 or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to pur-
chase your tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

Use only Toyota wheel nuts and
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.

7 When installing, reverse the
steps listed.
■Checking interval
Inspect and replace the air conditioning
filter according to the maintenance schedule. In dusty areas or areas with
heavy traffic flow, early replacement
may be required. (For scheduled main- tenance information, please refer to the
“Toyota Service Booklet” or “Toyota War-
ranty Booklet”.)
■If air flow from the vents decreases dramatically
The filter may be clogged. Check the fil-
ter and replace if necessary.
■If the electronic key battery is
depleted
The following symptoms may occur:
●The smart entry & start system and wireless remote control will not func-
tion properly.
●The operational range will be reduced.

authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer, local electrical appliance
shops or camera stores.
●Replace only with the same or equiva-
lent type recommended by the manu- facturer.
●Dispose of used batteries according to local laws.

■When removing the glove box
Do not forcibly pull the glove box.
Otherwise, the lower claws or the
lower claw engagement points may be deformed, making it difficult to
reinstall or close the glove box.
■When using the air conditioning
system
Make sure that a filter is always installed.
Using the air conditioning system
without a filter may cause damage to the system.

■Battery precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not swallow the battery. Doing
so may cause chemical burns.
●A coin battery or button battery is
used in the electronic key. If a bat-
tery is swallowed, it may cause severe chemical burns in as little as
2 hours and may result in death or
serious injury.
●Keep away new and removed bat-
teries from children.
