WARNING
■When the TRAC/ABS/VSC is
activated
The slip indicator light flashes.
Always drive care fully. Reckless
driving may cause an accident.
Exercise particular care when the
indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems
are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at
a speed appropriate to the road
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn
the TRAC/VSC systems off
unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In
addition, make sure that the tires
are inflated to the recommended
tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-
tems will not function correctly if
different tires are installed on the
vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
further information when replacing
tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the sus-
pension
Using tires with any kind of prob-
lem or modifying the suspension
will affect the driv ing assist sys-
tems, and may cause a system to
malfunction.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Sec-
ondary Collision Brake. This sys-
tem is designed to help reduce
the possibility of further damage
due to a secondary collision, how-
ever, that effect changes accord-
ing to various conditions. Overly
relying on the system may result
in death or serious injury.

WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
(except 195/50R19 tires)
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely, and may cause death or
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit specified for the tire
chains being used, or 30 mph
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before
entering a curve to ensure that
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) system.
●Do not use LDA (Lane Depar-
ture Alert) system.

Driving
If the vehicle is parked without
setting the parking brake,
confirm that the shift position
cannot be moved out of P.
If the vehicle is left parked
with the brakes damp in cold
temperatures, there is a pos-
sibility of the brakes freezing.
Vehicles without 195/50R19
tires
Use the correct tire chain size
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each
tire size.
Side chain:
0.12 in. (3 mm) in diameter
0.39 in. (10 mm) in width
1.18 in. (30 mm) in length
Cross chain: 0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter
0.55 in. (14 mm) in width
0.98 in. (25 mm) in length
Vehicles with 195/50R19 tires
Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used
instead.
Regulations regarding the use
of tire chains vary depending on
location and type of road.
Always check local regulations
before installing chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions
when installing and removing
chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a
safe location.
●Install tire chains on the front tires
only. Do not install tire chains on
the rear tires.
●Install tire chains on front tires as
tightly as possible. Retighten
chains after driving 1/4 - 1/2 mile
(0.5 - 1.0 km).
●Install tire chains following the
instructions provid ed with the tire
chains.
WARNING
■When parking the vehicle
When parking the vehicle without
applying the parking brake, make
sure to chock the wheels. If you
do not chock the wheels, the vehi-
cle may move unexpectedly, pos-
sibly resulting in an accident.

■When to replace your vehicle’s
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are
showing on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as
cuts, splits, cracks deep enough
to expose the fabric, and bulges
indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or can-
not be properly repaired due to
the size or location of a cut or
other damage
If you are not sure, consult your
Toyota dealer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be
checked by a qualified technician
even if it has seldom or never been
used or damage is not obvious.
■Low profile tires (vehicles with
195/50R19 tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear
more rapidly and tire grip perfor-
mance will be reduced on snowy
and/or icy roads when compared to
standard tires. Be sure to use snow
tires on snowy and/or icy roads and
drive carefully at a speed appropri-
ate for road and weather conditions.
■Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the
replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings
(GAWR) of either the front axle or
the rear axle, whic hever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label. For the maximum load of the
tire, see the load limit at maximum
cold tire inflation pressure men-
tioned on the sidewall of the tire.
( P.609)
■Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed per-
formance tires best suited to high-
way driving under dry conditions.
Since summer tires do not have
the same traction performance as
snow tires, summer tires are inad-
equate for driving on snow-cov-
ered or icy roads. For driving on
snow-covered roads or icy roads,
the use of snow tires is recom-
mended. When installing snow
tires, be sure to replace all four
tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to
provide better traction in snow and
to be adequate for driving in most
winter conditions as well as for
use year-round. All season tires,
however, do not have adequate
traction performance compared
with snow tires in heavy or loose
snow. Also, all season tires fall
short in acceleration and handling
performance compared with sum-
mer tires in highway driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, we recom-
mend using snow tires. If you
need snow tires, select tires of the
same size, construction and load
capacity as the originally installed
tires. Since your vehicle has radial
tires as original equipment, make
sure your snow tires also have
radial construction. Do not install
studded tires without first checking
local regulation s for possible
restrictions. Snow tires should be
installed on all wheels. ( P.429)
