Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely, and may cause death or
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit specifi ed for the tire
chains being used, or 30 mph
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden regenerative

is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
 Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof,
chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift position to P without setting
the parking brake. The parking
brake may freeze up, preventing
it from being released. If the
vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels. Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
Use the correct tire chain size
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each
tire size.
Side chain (0.12 in. [3 mm] in
diameter)
Cross chain (0.16 in. [4 mm]
in diameter)
Regulations regarding the use
of tire chains vary depending on
location and type of road.
Always check local regulations
before installing chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the followi ng precautions
when installing and removing
chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a
safe location.

To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when heavy snow or
icy conditions are expected,
change the rest position of the
windshield wipers from the
retracted position below the
hood to the service position
using the wiper lever. ( P.201)

■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• If tire chains, etc. are installed.
• 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
much higher than the specified
level.
• If wheels not equipped with tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitter 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.
• When driving near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station,
radio station, large display, airport
or other facility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical
noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device
If tire position information is not cor-
rectly displayed due to the radio
wave conditions, the display may be
corrected by changing the location
of the vehicle as the radio wave
conditions may change.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the
time taken for the warning to start
or turn off may be longer.
●When the inflation pressure of a
tire drops rapidly, for example when a tire has burst, the warning
may not operate.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure
warning system w ill change in
accordance the conditions under
which it was initia lized. For this rea-
son, the system may give a warning
even if the tire pressure does not
reach a low enough level, or if the
pressure is higher than the pressure
that was adjusted to when the sys-
tem was initialized.
■Tire pressure warning system
certification
 P.553
When replacing the tires or
wheels, the tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters must
be installed to the wheels which
will be installed to the vehicle.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must
be initialized. ( P.409)
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID codes of the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters are
not registered, the tire pressure
warning system will not work prop-
erly. In this case, after driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure
warning light will blink for approxi-
mately 1 minute and then illuminate
to indicate a system malfunction.
