Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.Front
To equalize tire w
ear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Vehicles with a tire pressure warn-
ing system: Do not fa il to initialize
the tire pressure warning system
after tire rotation.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a
2-type warning system.
When “Adjust Pressure” is
displayed (Normal Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure
warning light and warning buzzer
when there is an unknown level of
low tire pressure with the appear-
ance of the tire due to natural air
leakage as well as the pressure
lowering due to changes in the
pressure according to the outside
NOTICE
■Low profile tires (18-inch
tires)
Low profile tires may cause
greater damage th an usual to the
tire wheel when sustaining impact
from the road surface. Therefore,
pay attention to the following:
●Be sure to use pro per tire infla-
tion pressure. If tires are
under-inflated, they may be
damaged more severely.
●Avoid potholes, uneven pave-
ment, curbs and other road haz-
ards. Failure to do so may lead
to severe tire and wheel dam-
age.
■If tire inflation pressure of
each tire becomes low while
driving
Do not continue driving, or your
tires and/or wheels may be
ruined.
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving
on roads with loose surfaces or
potholes.
These conditions may cause
losses in tire inf lation pressure,
reducing the cushio ning ability of
the tires. In addit ion, driving on
rough roads may cause damage
to the tires themselves, as well as
the vehicle’s wheels and body.

transmitters must also be
installed.
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. Have tire pressure
warning valves and transmitter
ID codes registered by your Toy-
ota dealer. (P.322)
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter is not
registered, the tire pressure warning
system will not work properly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.
It is necessary to register the
position of each wheel after per-
forming a tire rotation.
Wheel position registration can
be performed by oneself. Wheel
position registration is per-
formed by driving forward with
moderate left and right turns.
However, depending on the driv-
ing conditions and driving envi-
ronment, registration may take
some time to complete.

NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires,
wheels, tire pressure warn-
ing valves, transmitters and
tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmit-
ters, contact your Toyota dealer
as the tire pr essure warning
valves and transmitters may be
damaged if not handled cor-
rectly.
●Make sure to install the tire
valve caps. If the tire valve caps
are not installed, water could
enter the tire pressure warning
valves and the tire pressure
warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing tire valve caps,
do not use tire valve caps other
than those specified. The cap
may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repa ired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. Make
sure to replace the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter
when replacing the tire. ( P.315)

sional left and right turns) at
approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
When wheel position registration is
complete, a message indicating
that registration has been com-
pleted and the inflation pressure of
each tire will be d isplayed on the
multi-information display.
Even if it is not possible to drive
continuously at a pproximately 25
mph (40 km/h) or more, registration
can be completed by driving for a
long time. However, if registration
does not complete a fter driving for
1 hour or more, park the vehicle in
a safe place and leave it with the
engine switch in ON for approxi-
mately 15 minute s or more, and
then perform the dr iving procedure
again.
■When performing wheel posi-
tion registration
●Normally, wheel position registra-
tion can be completed within
approximately 30 minutes.
●Wheel position registration is per-
formed while driving at a vehicle
speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more.
■Wheel position registration pro-
cedure
●If the engine switch is turned off
while registering the wheel posi-
tion, the next time the engine
switch is turned to ON, the wheel
position registr ation will resume
and it will not be necessary to
restart the procedure.
●While the position of each wheel is
being determined and the inflation
pressures are not being dis-
played, if the infl ation pressure of
a tire drops, the tire pressure
warning light will come on.
■If the wheel position cannot be
registered easily
●In the following situations, wheel
position registration may take lon-
ger than usual to be completed or
may not be possible.
• Vehicle is not dr iven at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
• If wheel position registration does
not complete after driving for 1
hour or more, park the vehicle in a
safe place for a pproximately 15
minutes and then drive the vehicle
again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
wheel position registration, all
data collected unt il then will be
cleared. Perform driving again.

■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
●When performing the tire pressure
setting using the current tire infla-
tion pressure, the warning timing
of the tire pressure warning sys-
tem will vary according to the con-
ditions under which tire pressure
setting was performed. Therefore,
a warning may be output even if
the tire inflation pressure drops
slightly or if the ti re inflation pres-
sure increases above that when
the tire inflation pressure was set.
●Make sure to per form the tire
pressure setting p rocedure after
adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure. Also, make sure the tires are
cold before performing the tire
pressure setting procedure or
adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure.

procedure
●If the engine switch is turned off
while setting the tire inflation pres-
sure, the next time the engine
switch is turned to ON, the setting
procedure will resume and it will
not be necessary to restart the
procedure.
●If the tire inflation pressure setting
procedure is started unnecessar-
ily, adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level with the
tires cold and then perform setting
by selecting a specified tire infla-
tion pressure, or p erform the tire
inflation pressure setting proce-
dure with the current tire inflation
pressure.
■If the tire inflation pressure can-
not be set easily
●Normally, the tire inflation pres-
sure setting procedure can be
completed in 2 or 3 minutes.
●If the tire pressure warning light
does not blink 3 times when start-
ing the tire inflation pressure set-
ting procedure, the procedure
may not have started. Perform the

dure, contact your Toyota dealer.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with
a unique ID code. When new
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters are installed, new
ID codes must be registered in
the tire pressure warning com- puter.
ID codes can be registered by
yourself, but depending on
the driving conditions and
driving environment, registra-
tion may take some time to
complete.
When using a wheel set
which all of the ID codes have
already been registered, the
wheel set can be changed in
a short amount of time.
Before performing ID code reg-
istration, make sure that no
wheels with tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitters
installed are near the vehicle.
