Maintenance and care
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, the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( P.406)
WARNING
●Greater possibility of tire dam-
age while driving (due to road
hazards, expansion joints,
sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjust-
ing 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.
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

4187-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Owners Manual_USA_M62084_en
Use only Toyota wheel nuts
and wheel nut wrenches
designed for use with your
aluminum wheels.
 When rotating, repairing or
changing your tires, check
that the wheel nuts are still
tight after driving 1000 miles
(1600 km).
 Be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
 Use only Toyota genuine bal-
ance weights or equivalent
and a plastic or rubber ham-
mer when balancing your
wheels.
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 tightened, lead-
ing 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, caus-
ing 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 cracked 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 addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure
warning valves and transmit-
ters at your Toyota dealer.
●Ensure that only genuine Toyota
wheels are used on your vehi-
cle.
Tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters may not work
properly with non-genuine
wheels.

■Cleaning the air intake vents
●Dust in the air intake vents may
interfere with the cooling of the
traction battery. If charging/dis-
charging of the traction battery
becomes limited, the distance that
the vehicle can be driven using
the electric motor may be reduced
and the fuel economy may be
reduced. Inspect and clean the air
intake vents periodically.
●Improper handling of the air intake
vent covers and filters may result
in damage to the m. If you have
any concerns about cleaning the
filter, contact you r Toyota dealer.
■If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling Parts
See Owner’s Manual” is shown
on the multi-information display
●If this warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
remove the air inta ke vent covers
and clean the filters. ( P.453)
●After cleaning the air intake vents,
start the fuel cell system and
check that the warning message
is no longer shown.
It may take approximately 20 min-
utes after the fuel cell system is
started until the warning message
disappears. If the warning message
does not disappear, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When cleaning the air intake
vents
●Do not use water or other liq-
uids to clean the air intake
vents. If water is applied to the
traction battery or other compo-
nents, a malfunction or fire may
occur.
●Before cleaning the air intake
vents, make su re to turn the
power switch off to stop the fuel
cell system.

NOTICE
■When cleaning the air intake
vents
When cleaning the air intake
vents, make sure to only use a
vacuum to suck out dust and
clogs. If a comp ressed air blow
gun, etc. is used to blow out dust
and clogs, the dust or clogs may
be pushed into the air intake
vents, which may affect the per-
formance of the traction battery
and cause a malfunction.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle
●Do not allow wa ter or foreign
matter to enter the air intake
vent when the cover is
removed.
