Maintenance and care
WARNING
QWhen 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 resulting
in death or serious injury.
O Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
O Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
O Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
O Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
O 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.
NOTICE
Q 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 addition, driving on rough roads may cause
damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.
Q If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

Tire inflation pressure
QEffects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
O Reduced fuel economy
O Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
O Reduced tire life due to wear
O Reduced safety
O 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.
Q Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
O 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.
O Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appear-
ance.
O It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as heat is
generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving.
O Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.
Make sure to maintain proper tire inflation pressure. Tire infla-
tion pressure should be checked at least once per month. How-
ever, Toyota recommends that tire inflation pressure be checked
once every two weeks. ( P. 639)

Maintenance and care
WARNING
QProper 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:
O Excessive wear
O Uneven wear
O Poor handling
O Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
O Air leaking from between tire and wheel
O Wheel deformation and/or tire damage
O Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE
Q 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.

When using a flatbed truck to transport the vehicle, use tire strapping
belts. Refer to the owner’s manual of the flatbed truck for the tire
strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle movement during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehi-
cles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart
entry & start system).

O Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install-
ing and removing tire chains.
O Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.
