Wear displays are distributed
across the tyre circumference and
have the legally prescribed mini-
mum height of 1.6 mm, approxi-
mately 0.06 in.
The positions of the wear indicators
are identified on the tyre’s side wall
by TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Inspect tyres regularly for damage,
the presence of foreign bodies and
wear.
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate
tyre damage or other faults:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tyre or running noises.
• Unusual vehicle response, such
as pronounced pu lling to the left
or right.
Damage can be caused by the fol-
lowing situations, for example:
• Driving over kerbs.
• Road damage.
• Insufficient tyre inflation pres-
sure.
• Overloading the vehicle.
• Incorrect tyre storage.
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth,
change tyres after 6 years at the
latest.

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre
inflation pressure may be reduced,
which in turn could cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. If you suspect tyre
damage while you are driving, imme- diately reduce speed and bring the
vehicle to a stop. Have the wheels
and tyres checked. To do so, carefully drive to any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer. If necessary, have the vehicle towed or transported
there. Do not repair damaged tyres,
but have them replaced instead.
WA R N I N G
Tyres can become damaged by run-
ning over obstacles, for example
kerbs or road damage, at high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tyre
cross-section. The smaller the tyre
cross-section, the higher the risk of tyre damage. There is a danger of
accidents and damage to property. If
possible, drive around obstacles or drive over them slowly and carefully.
Age of tyres
Recommendation

2965-1. MOBILITY
The date of manufacture of the tyre
is indicated on the tyre sidewall.
Have the wheel fitted and balanced
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
The following properties are recom-
mended and approved by the man-
ufacturer of the vehicle for the
approved wheels and tyres per
vehicle type and special equipment:
• Wheel and tyre combinations.
•Rim designs.
• Tyre sizes.
• Tyre makes.
You can ask any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer
about the approved wheels and
tyres for the vehicle and the special
equipment.

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable
for your vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle. For example they could
come into contact with the bodywork
on account of their dimensional toler- ances, despite having the same nomi-
nal size. There is a danger of
accidents. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels and tyres that have been categorised
as suitable for the respective vehicle
type.
WA R N I N G
Mounted steel wheels can lead to
technical problems, for example wheel studs may work loose and
brake discs may be damaged. There
is a risk of accident. Do not install steel wheels.
WA R N I N G
Incorrect wheel/tyre combinations
impair the vehicle's handling charac- teristics and interfere with the proper
functioning of various systems, such
as the Anti-lock Brake System or Vehicle Stability Control. There is a
danger of accidents. To maintain good
vehicle handling, always fit tyres of the same make and tread pattern to
all wheels. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels and tyres that have been categorised
as suitable for the respective vehicle
type. After a tyre has been damaged, refit the same wheel/tyre combination
as the original.

Certain makes of tyre are recom-
mended by the manufacturer of the
vehicle for each tyre size. The tyre
brands can be identified by a star
on the side wall of the tyre.
Due to the manufacturing process,
new tyres do not provide maximum
grip immediately.
Drive moderately for the first 300
km, 200 miles.
The manufacturer of your vehicle
advises against the use of
retreaded tyres.
Winter tyres are recommended if
driving in winter conditions.
The winter tyres can be identified
by the mountain and snowflake
icon, as well as the M+S marking
on the tyre sidewall.
Although tyres known as all-season
tyres with M+S marking but without
a mountain and snowflake icon
have better winter characteristics
than summer tyres, they do not nor-
mally match the performance of
winter tyres.
If winter tyres are fitted, observe
and do not exceed the respectively
permitted maximum speed.
When changing from run-flat tyres
to standard tyres, make sure that a
spare wheel or a flat tyre kit is avail-
able in the vehicle. Additional infor-

Do not exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure indicated on the
tyre's side wall.
• Store wheels and tyres in a cool,
dry and dark place when not in
use.
• Protect the tyres against contam-
ination from oil, grease and sol-
vents.
• Do not leave tyres in plastic
bags.
• Remove dirt from the wheels or
tyres.
In the event of a complete loss of
tyre inflation pressure, run-flat tyres
enable you to continue driving, with
certain restrictions.
The wheels are fitted with tyres
which are self-supporting to a lim-
ited degree. They may also have
special rims.
The reinforced side wall means that
the tyre keeps the vehicle mobile to
a degree even if tyre inflation pres-
sure has been lost.
Observe the notes on continuing to
drive with a flat tyre.
Swapping over front and rear
wheels
WA R N I N G
Swapping over of wheels between
axles on vehicles with different tyre
sizes or rim dimensions on the front and rear axles may cause tyre dam-
age and damage to the vehicle. There
is a risk of accident. Do not swap over wheels between axles on vehicles
with different tyre sizes or rim dimen-
sions on the front and rear axles.

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
A run-flat tyre which has low tyre infla-
tion pressure or no tyre inflation pres- sure at all will change the vehicle's
handling characteristics, for example
there may be reduced directional sta- bility when braking, longer braking
distances and different self-steering
characteristics. There is a danger of accidents. Drive with care and do not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.

• Park the vehicle on a firm sur-
face and as far away from mov-
ing traffic as possible.
• Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
• Apply the parking brake to pre-
vent the vehicle rolling away.
• Engage the steering wheel lock
with the wheels in the
straight-ahead position.
• Have all vehicle occupants get
out of the vehicle and guide them
out of the danger area, for exam-
ple behind the crash barrier.
• Set up the warning triangle an
appropriate distance away.
With the Mobility System, minor
tyre damage can be quickly sealed,
to allow you to drive on. For this
purpose, liquid sealant is pumped
into the tyres which encloses the
damage from the inside when it
hardens.
• Please observe the notes on the
application of the Mobility Sys-
tem which are on the compres-
sor and the sealant container.
• Applying the Mobility System can
be ineffective for tyre damage
larger than approximately 4 mm.
• Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer if
you are unable to put the tyre
back in operation.
• Foreign bodies that have pene-
trated the tyre should remain
inside the tyre. Only remove for-
eign objects if they are visibly
protruding from the tyre.
• Remove the speed limit sticker
from the sealant container and
attach to the steering wheel.
• Using sealants can damage the
TPM wheel electronics. In this

WA R N I N G
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate ventilation can allow harmful exhaust
fumes to enter the vehicle. The
exhaust fumes contain pollutants
which are colourless and odourless. In enclosed spaces, the exhaust
fumes can also build up outside the
vehicle. There is a risk of death. Keep the exhaust pipe clear and ensure
sufficient ventilation.
