WARNING
●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment, it is
probable that you have a flat
tire. Check the tires. If a tire is
flat, change it with the spare tire
and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest Toy ota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) w hen one or more
of your tires is s ignificantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates,
you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to m aintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning
light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the te lltale will flash
for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or
signal low tire pressure as
intended.

WARNING
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
tem) malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS
(tire pressure warning system)
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the r eplacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) to continue to function
properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure
warning system operates
properly
Do not install tires with different
specifications or manufactures as
the tire pressure warning system
may not operate properly.

WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Observe the fo llowing precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury:
• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it
from under the vehicle.
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due
care in handling the ornament to
avoid unexpected personal
injury.

4While raising, secure the tire,
taking care that the tire goes
straight up without catching
on any surrounding part, to
prevent it from flying forward
during a collision or sudden
braking.
Tightening torque:
34.7 ft•lbf (46.6 N•m, 4.8 kgf•m)
5Confirm it is not loose after
tightening:
1 Push and pull the tire
2 Try rotating
Visually check to ensure tire is not
hung on surrounding parts.
If looseness or misassembly exists,
repeat step 2 and step 4.
6 Repeat step5, any time the
tire is lowered or disturbed.
7 Stow the tools and jack
securely.
■The temporary spare tire
●The temporary spare tire is identi-
fied by the “TEMPORARY USE
ONLY” marking on the disc wheel
and/or tire sidewall.
Use the temporary spare tire tem-
porarily, and only in an emer-
gency.
●Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the temporary spare tire. (
P.547)
■When using the temporary
spare tire
As the temporary spare tire is not
equipped with the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire
will not be indicated by the tire pres-
sure warning system. Also, if you
replace the temporary spare tire
after the tire pressure warning light
comes on, the light remains on.
■If you have a flat rear tire on a
road covered with snow or ice
Install the temporary spare tire on
one of the front w heels of the vehi-
cle. Perform the following steps and
fit tire chains to the rear tires:
1 Replace a front tire with the tem-
porary spare tire.
2 Replace the flat rear tire with the
tire removed from the front of the
vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the rear tires.
WARNING
■When using the temporary
spare tire
●Remember that t he temporary
spare tire provided is specifi-
cally designed for use with your
vehicle. Do not use your tempo-
rary spare tire on another vehi-
cle.
●Do not use more than one tem-
porary spare tires simultane-
ously.
●Replace the temporary spare
tire with a standa rd tire as soon
as possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
