Traction AA A B C
Temperature A B C
All passenger vehicle tires must 
conform to Federal Safety 
Requirements in addition to 
these grades

The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the 
wear rate of the tire when tested 
under controlled conditions on a 
specified government test 
course. E.g., a tire graded 150 
would wear one and one-half, 1 
g, times as well on the govern-
ment course as a tire graded 
100. The relative performance 
of tires depends upon the actual 
conditions of their use, however, 
and may depart significantly 
from the norm due to variations 
in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.

The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B, and 
C.
Those grades represent the 
tire's ability to stop on wet pave-
ment as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified 
government test surfaces of 
asphalt and concrete. A tire 
marked C may have poor trac-

tion performance.
The traction grade assigned to 
this tire is based on 
straight-ahead braking traction 
tests, and does not include 
acceleration, cornering, hydro-
planing, or peak traction charac-
teristics.

The temperature grades are A, 
the highest, B, and C, represent-
ing the tire's resistance to the 
generation of heat and its ability 
to dissipate heat when tested 
under controlled conditions on a 
specified indoor laboratory test 
wheel. Sustained high tempera-
ture can cause the material of 
the tire to degenerate and 
reduce tire life, and excessive 
temperature can lead to sudden 
tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a 
level of performance which all 
passenger vehicle tires must 
meet under the Federal Motor 
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 
109. Grades Band A represent 
higher levels of performance on 
the laboratory test wheel than 
the minimum required by law.

Winter and all-season tires with 
better cold weather performance 
than summer tires.

Do not drive with a tire tread of 
less than 0.12 in/3 mm, other-
wise there is an increased risk 
of hydroplaning.

Do not drive with a tire tread of 
less than 0.16 in/4 mm, as such 
tires are less suitable for winter 
operation.

Wear indicators are distributed 
around the tire's circumference 
and have the legally required 
minimum height of 0.063 
inches/1.6 mm.
The positions of the wear indica-
tors are marked on the tire side-
wall with TWI, Tread Wear 
Indicator.

Inspect your tires regularly for 
damage, foreign objects lodged 
in the tread, and tread wear.
Driving over rough or damaged 
road surfaces, as well as debris, 
curbs and other obstacles can 
cause serious damage to 
wheels, tires and suspension 
parts. This is more likely to 
occur with low-profile tires, 
which provide less cushioning 
between the wheel and the 
road. Be careful to avoid road 
hazards and reduce your speed, 
especially if your vehicle is 

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire 

is established for a tire that is 

properly inflated and not over-

loaded. Excessive speed, under-

inflation, or excessive loading, 

either separately or in combina-

tion, can cause heat buildup and 

possible tire failure.

equipped with low-profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or 
other vehicle malfunctions:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tire or running 

noises.

• Unusual handling such as a 

strong tendency to pull to the 
left or right.

Damage can be caused by the 
following situations, for instance:
• Driving over curbs.
• Road damage.
• Tire inflation pressure too low.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tire storage.

Have mounting and wheel bal-
ancing carried out by your Toy-
ota dealer.

You can ask your Toyota dealer 
about the correct wheel/tire 
combination and wheel rim ver-
sions for the vehicle.

Safety information

WARNING

Damaged tires can lose tire infla-

tion pressure, which can lead to 

loss of vehicle control. There is a 

risk of an accident. If tire damage 

is suspected while driving, imme-

diately reduce speed and stop. 

Have wheels and tires checked. 

For this purpose, drive carefully to 

the nearest your Toyota dealer. 

Have vehicle towed or trans-

ported as needed. Do not repair 

damaged tires, but have them 

replaced.

WARNING

Tires can become damaged by 

driving over obstacles, e.g., curbs 

or road damage, at high speed. 

Larger wheels have a smaller tire 

cross-section. The smaller the tire 

cross-section, the higher the risk 

of tire damage. There is a danger 

of accidents and property dam-

age. If possible, drive around 

obstacles, or drive over them 

slowly and carefully.

For each tire size, the manufac-
turer of the vehicle recommends 
certain tire brands. The tire 
brands can be identified by a 
star on the tire sidewall.

Tire traction is not optimal due to 
manufacturing circumstances 
when tires are brand-new; they 
achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first 
200 miles/300 km.

The manufacturer of your vehi-
cle does not recommend the 
use of retreaded tires.

Safety information

WARNING

Wheels and tires which are not 

suitable for your vehicle can dam-

age parts of the vehicle, for 

instance due to contact with the 

body due to tolerances despite 

the same official size rating. 

There is a risk of an accident. The 

manufacturer of your vehicle 

strongly suggests that you use 

wheels and tires that have been 

recommended by the vehicle 

manufacturer for your vehicle 

type.

WARNING

Mounted steel wheels can cause 

technical problems, for instance 

independent loosening of the lug 

bolts, damage to the brake discs. 

There is a risk of an accident. Do 

not mount steel wheels.

WARNING

Incorrect wheel/tire combinations 

will have a negative impact on the 

vehicle's handling and on the 

function of a variety of systems, 

such as the Anti-lock Brake Sys-

tem or Vehicle Stability Control 

System. There is a risk of an acci-

dent. To maintain good handling 

and vehicle response, use only 

tires with a single tread configura-

tion from a single manufacturer. 

The manufacturer of the vehicle 

recommends that you use wheels 

and tires that have been recom-

mended by the vehicle manufac-

turer for your vehicle type. 

Following tire damage, have the 

original wheel/tire combination 

remounted on the vehicle as soon 

as possible.

Retreaded tires

WARNING

Retreaded tires can have different 

tire casing structures. With 

advanced age the service life can 

be limited. There is a risk of an 

accident. The manufacturer of 

your vehicle does not recommend 

the use of retreaded tires.

Winter tires are recommended 
for operating on winter roads.
Although so-called all-season 
M+S tires provide better winter 
traction than summer tires, they 
usually do not provide the same 
level of performance as winter 
tires.

If the maximum speed of the 
vehicle is higher than the per-
missible speed for the winter 
tires, then attach a label show-
ing the permissible maximum 
speed in the field of view. The 
label is available from your Toy-
ota dealer.
With winter tires mounted, 
observe and do not exceed the 
permissible maximum speed.

Swapping the front wheels with 
the rear wheels or vice versa is 
not permitted on vehicles with 
different tire or rim dimensions 
on the front and rear axles.

Do not exceed the maximum tire 
inflation pressure indicated on 
the side wall of the tire.

Store wheels and tires in a cool, 
dry and dark place.
Always protect tires against all 
contact with oil, grease, and sol-
vents.
Do not leave tires in plastic 
bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or 
tires.

• Park the vehicle as far away 

as possible from passing traf-
fic and on solid ground.

• Switch on the hazard warning 

system.

• Secure the vehicle against 

rolling away by setting the 
parking brake.

• Turn the steering wheel until 

the front wheels are in the 
straight-ahead position and 
engage the steering wheel 
lock.

• Have all vehicle occupants 

get out of the vehicle and

• If necessary, set up a warning 

triangle at an appropriate dis-
tance.

With the Mobility System, minor 
tire damage can be sealed tem-
porarily to enable continued 
travel. To accomplish this, seal-
ant is pumped into the tires, 
which seals the damage from 
the inside.

• Follow the instructions on 

using the Mobility System 
found on the compressor and 
sealant container.

• Use of the Mobility System 

may be ineffective if the tire 
puncture measures approx. 
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.

• Contact your Toyota dealer if 

the tire cannot be made driv-
able.

• If possible, do not remove for-

eign bodies that have pene-
trated the tire. Only remove 
foreign objects if they are visi-
bly protruding from the tire.

• Pull the speed limit sticker off 

the sealant container and 

apply it to the steering wheel.

• The use of a sealant can 

damage the TPM wheel elec-
tronics. In this case, have the 
electronics checked and 
replaced at the next opportu-
nity.

The compressor can be used to 
check the tire inflation pressure.

The tire inflation pressure 
depends on the tire's tempera-
ture.
Driving or exposure to the sun 
will increase the tire's tempera-
ture, thus increasing the tire 
inflation pressure.
The tire inflation pressure is 
reduced when the tire tempera-
ture falls again.
These circumstances may 
cause a warning when tempera-
tures fall very sharply.
Following a temperature-related 
warning, the target pressures 
are displayed on the Control

pressure recommended by 
the vehicle manufacturer on 
the vehicle placard or tire 
inflation pressure label. (If 
your vehicle has tires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indi-
cated on the vehicle placard 
or tire inflation pressure label, 
you should determine 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) that illuminates a low 
tire pressure telltale when one 
or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire 
pressure telltale illuminates, 
you should stop and check 
your tires as soon as possi-
ble, and inflate them to the 
proper pressure. 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 is not a substitute for 
proper tire maintenance, and 
it is the driver's responsibility 
to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation 
has not reached the level to 
trigger illumination of the 
TPMS low tire pressure tell-

tale. Your vehicle has also 
been equipped with a TPMS 
malfunction indicator to indi-
cate when the system is not 
operating properly. The TPMS 
malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale. When the system 
detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then 
remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will 
continue upon subsequent 
vehicle start-ups as long as 
the malfunction exists. When 
the malfunction indicator is 
illuminated, the system may 
not be able to detect or signal 
low tire pressure as intended. 
TPMS 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 from func-
tioning properly. Always 
check the TPMS malfunction 
telltale after replacing one or 
more tires or wheels on your 
vehicle to ensure that the 
replacement or alternate tires 
and wheels allow the TPMS 
to continue to function prop-
erly.

WARNING

If a warning light illuminates or 

flashes, or a warning message is 

displayed, immediately stop the 

vehicle in a safe place. Do not 

open the hood to inspect the 

engine, as doing so may lead to 

serious injury, such as steam 

burns. If a warning message is 

displayed, perform the necessary 

procedures according to the dis-

played message or explanation in 

the owner’s manual.

These warning messages indicate 

that a malfunction has occurred in 

a system or function of the vehi-

cle. If you continue to drive the 

vehicle, the engine may stop sud-

denly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent. Also, even if no warning 

lights are illuminated or messages 

are displayed, if any abnormal 

sounds, smells or vibrations are 

detected, or of the engine stops 

suddenly, refrain from opening the 

hood to inspect the engine and 

consult an authorized Toyota 

retailer or Toyota authorized 

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING

If you hear a loud noise or feel 

something impact the underside 

of the vehicle while driving, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe 

place.

After stopping the vehicle in a 

safe place, check the underside of 

the vehicle for any leaking brake 

fluid, oil or fuel. If any fluid is leak-

ing, stop driving immediately and 

have the vehicle inspected by an 

authorized Toyota retailer or Toy-

ota authorized repairer, or any 

reliable repairer.

Brake and fuel lines run under the 

floor of the vehicle. If any of these 

lines are damaged, the brakes 

may fail or leaking fuel may ignite 

and cause a fire.

WARNING

During normal driving, do not turn 

off the engine. Turning the engine 

off while driving will not cause loss 

of steering or braking control, but 

the power assist to these systems 

will be lost. This will make it more 

difficult to steer and brake, so you 

should pull over and stop the 

vehicle as soon as it is safe to do 

so.

WARNING

While driving, if a tire has been 

punctured or has ruptured, firmly 

grip the steering wheel, gradually 

reduce the vehicle speed and 

stop the vehicle in a safe place. 

Avoid sudden braking and steer-

ing operations as doing so may 

cause you to lose control of the 

vehicle. Gradually reduce the 

vehicle speed and stop the vehi-

cle in a safe place.

cloth with a suitable interior 
cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to

motions. Avoid rubbing the 
material vigorously.

When cleaning the vehicle, use 
only neutral wheel cleaners hav-
ing a pH value from 5 to 9. Do 
not use abrasive cleaning 
agents or steam jets above 140 
°F/60 °C. Follow the manufac-
