WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
There is a limit to the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not ov erly rely on this 
system. The driver is always 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’ surroundings and 
driving safely.
■To ensure the system can 
operate properly
Observe the following precau-
tions. 
Failing to do so may result in the 
vehicle being unable to be driven 
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.
●Do not damage the sensors, 
and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install 
an electronic component, such 
as a backlit license plate (espe-
cially fluorescent type), fog 
lights, fender pole or wireless 
antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding 
area of the sensor to a strong 
impact. If subjected to an 
impact, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota 
dealer. If the fr ont or rear 
bumper needs to be 
emoved/installed or replaced, 
contact your Toyota dealer.

Maintenance and care
1If the spare tire is slanted, the 
hoist assembly may be stuck in 
the wheel opening. If the spare 
tire rattles while driving, it may 
not be fully raised. Lower the 
spare tire to the ground and 
make sure that the hoist assem-
bly is perpendicular to the wheel 
opening.
2 Raise the tire slowly and steadily 
until a click is heard and the jack 
handle skips.
If the spare tire c annot be lowered, 
the wire cable may be severed. 
Have the vehicle i nspected at your 
Toyota dealer.
■Maximum load of tire
Check that the number given by 
dividing the maximum load by 1.10 
of the replacement tire is greater 
than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight 
Ratings (GAWR) of either the front 
axle or the rear a xle, whichever is 
greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification 
Label.
For the maximum load of the tire, 
see the load limit  at maximum cold 
tire inflation press ure mentioned on 
the sidewall of the tire. ( P.518)
■Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance tires best suited to highway 
driving under dry conditions. Since 
summer tires do not have the same 
traction performanc e as snow tires, 
summer tires are inadequate for  driving on snow-covered or icy 
roads. For driving on snow-covered 
roads or icy roads, the use of snow 
tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all 
four tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to pro-
vide better traction in snow and to 
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions as  well as for use 
year-round. All se ason tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction 
performance compared with snow 
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, 
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling  performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway 
driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads 
or icy roads, we recommend using 
snow tires. If you need snow tires, 
select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the 
originally installed  tires. Since your 
vehicle has radial tires as original 
equipment, make sure your snow 
tires also have radi al construction. 
Do not install studded tires without 
first checking local regulations for 
possible restrictions. Snow tires 
should be installed on all wheels. 
(  P.330)
■If the tread on snow tires wears 
down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness  of the tires as 
snow tires is lost. 

4366-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels, care 
should be taken to ensure that 
they are equivalent to those 
removed in load capacity, diam-
eter, rim width and inset
*.
Replacement wheels are avail-
able at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as off- set.
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 pres-
sure. Whenever wheels are 
replaced, tire pressure warning 
valves and transmitters must be 
installed. ( P.427)
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
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a dif-
ferent size from those recom-
mended in the Owner’s Manual, 
as this may result in a loss of 
handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a 
leaking wheel which is designed 
for a tubeless tire.
Doing so may result in an acci-
dent, causing death or serious 
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 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 pro-
hibited
Do not use cracke d or deformed 
wheels. Doing so could cause the 
tire to leak air during driving, pos-
sibly causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replace-
ment may affect the tire pres-
sure warning valves and 
transmitters, make sure to have 
tires serviced by your Toyota 
dealer or other qualified service 
shop. In additio n, make sure to 
purchase your tire pressure 
warning valves and transmit-
ters at your Toyota dealer.

If  your vehicle needs 
to be towed
If towing is necessary, we 
recommend having your 
vehicle towed by your Toy-
ota dealer or commercial 
towing service, using a 
wheel-lift type truck or flat-
bed truck.
Use a safety chain system 
for all towing, and abide by 
all state/provincial and local 
laws.
If towing your vehicle with a 
wheel-lift type truck from 
the front, the vehicle’s rear 
wheels and axles must be in 
good conditions. ( P.461)
If they are damaged, use a 
towing dolly or flatbed 
truck.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
2WD models
Be sure to transp ort the vehicle 
with the front wheels raised or 
with all four wheels raised off the 
ground. If the vehicle is towed 
with the front wheels contacting 
the ground, the drivetrain and 
related parts may be damaged or 
electricity generated by the opera-
tion of the motor may cause a fire 
to occur depending on the nature 
of the damage or malfunction.
AWD models
Be sure to transp ort the vehicle 
with all four wheels raised off the 
ground. If the vehicle is towed 
with the tires co ntacting the 
ground, the drivetrain or related 
parts may be damaged, the vehi-
cle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation 
of the motor may cause a fire to 
occur depending o n the nature of 
the damage or malfunction.
