Maintenance and care
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drivetrain
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●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.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
WARNING
■Proper 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:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-age
●Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■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.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
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 pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( P.336)
■When removing the wheel orna-
ment (vehicles with a wheel cap clip)
Remove the wheel ornament using the
wheel cap clip*.*: The wheel cap clip is installed in the
glove box. ( P.298)
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
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a differ- ent size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may
result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leak-
ing wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.Doing so may result in an accident,
causing death or serious injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
●Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the tapered ends facing inward ( P.402). Installing the nuts with
the tapered ends facing outward can cause the wheel to break and eventually cause the wheel to come
off while driving, which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Maintenance and care
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 1600 km (1000 miles).
Be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when bal-
ancing your wheels.
WARNING
●Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tight-ened, leading 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,
causing 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 prohib-
ited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire
to leak air during driving, possibly causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.Tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may not work properly with non-genuine wheels.

■When a tire is replaced with a spare
tire
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The compact spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even
though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few min-utes.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The spare tire is also equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, the
tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the
spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.

WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS
system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or seri-ous injury.
■When the electric power steer-ing system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted. When the light comes on
red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely
heavy. When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in death or
serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire and full-size spare tire: If the tire pressure warning light comes on
even after tire inflation 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 any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after
