If initialization is performed, adjust

the tire inflation pressure to the

specified level and initialize the tire

pressure warning system again.

■

Initialization procedure

●

Make sure to carry out initializa-

tion after adjusting the tire inflation

pressure.

Also, make sure the tires are cold

before carrying out initialization or

tire inflation pressure adjustment.

●

If you have accidentally turned the

engine switch off during initializa-

tion, it is not necessary to press

the reset switch again as initializa-

tion will restart automatically when

the engine switch has been turned

to ON for the next time.

●

If you accidentally press the reset

switch when initialization is not

necessary, adjust the tire inflation

pressure to the specified level

when the tires are cold, and con-

duct initialization again.

■

When initialization of the tire

pressure warning system has

failed

Initialization can be completed in a

few minutes. However, in the follow-

ing cases, the settings have not

been recorded and the system will

not operate properly. If repeated

attempts to record tire inflation pres-

sure settings are unsuccessful,

have the vehicle inspected by your

Toyota dealer.

●

When operating the tire pressure

warning reset switch, tire pressure

warning light does not blink 3

times.

●

After carrying out the initialization

procedure, the tire pressure warn-

ing light blinks for 1 minute then

stays on after driving for 20 min-

utes.

The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with
a unique ID code. When replac-
ing a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code. Have the
ID code registered by your Toy-
ota dealer.

■

Registering ID codes

The ID codes of the tire pressure

warning valve and transmitters for

two sets of wheels can be regis-

tered.
It is not necessary to register the ID

codes when replacing normal tires

with snow tires, if the ID codes for

the wheels of both normal tires and

snow tires are registered before-

hand.
In addition to the set of tire pressure

warning system sensor ID codes ini-

tially registered to the vehicle, a sec-

ond set of ID codes can be

registered.
A second set of tire pressure warn-

ing system sensor ID codes can be

registered at your Toyota dealer.

WARNING

■

When initializing the tire pres-

sure warning system

Do not operate the tire pressure

warning reset switch without first

adjusting the tire inflation pres-

sure to the specified level. Other-

wise, the tire pressure warning

light may not come on even if the

tire inflation pressure is low, or it

may come on when the tire infla-

tion pressure is actually normal.

WARNING

■

When installing the tire

Failure to follow these precau-

tions could cause the wheel nuts

to loosen and the tire to fall off,

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

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 a serious accident.

Remove any oil or grease from

the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

●

Have the wheel nuts tightened

with a torque wrench to 89 ft•lbf

(120 N•m, 12.2 kgf•m) as soon

as possible after changing

wheels.

●

Do not attach a heavily dam-

aged wheel ornament, as it may

fly off the wheel while the vehi-

cle is moving.

●

When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

●

If there are any cracks or defor-

mations in the bolt screws, nut

threads or bolt holes of the

wheel, have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

Tire pressure gauge

Remove the tire valve cap.

Press the tip of the tire pres-
sure gauge onto the tire
valve.

Read the pressure using the
gauge gradations.

If the tire inflation pressure is
not at the recommended
level, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, press
the center of the valve to
deflate.

After completing the tire infla-
tion pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy
water to the valve and check
for leakage.

Put the tire valve cap back
on.

■

Tire inflation pressure check

interval

You should check tire inflation pres-

sure every two weeks, or at least

once a month.

■

Effects of incorrect tire inflation

pressure

Driving with incorrect tire inflation

pressure may result in the following:

●

Reduced fuel economy

●

Reduced driving comfort and poor

handling

●

Reduced tire life due to wear

●

Reduced safety

●

Damage to the drivetrain

If a tire needs frequent inflating,

have it checked by your Toyota

dealer.

■

Instructions for checking tire

inflation pressure

When checking tire inflation pres-

sure, 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 mile or 1.5

km, 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

pressure to be higher after driving

as heat is generated in the tire. Do

not reduce tire inflation pressure

after driving.

●

Never exceed the vehicle capacity

weight.

Passengers and luggage weight

should be placed so that the vehi-

cle 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 seri-

ous 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

damage

: Conventionally referred to as off-

set.

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 pres-

sure. Whenever wheels are

replaced, tire pressure warning

valves and transmitters must be

installed. (



P.316)

WARNING

●

Greater possibility of tire dam-

age while driving (due to road

hazards, expansion joints,

sharp edges in the road, etc.)

NOTICE

■

When inspecting and adjust-

ing 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.

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

326

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance



Use only Toyota wheel nuts
and 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 1000 miles
(1600 km).



Be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.



Use only Toyota genuine bal-
ance weights or equivalent
and a plastic or rubber ham-
mer when balancing your
wheels.

WARNING

■

When replacing wheels

●

Do not use wheels that are a dif-

ferent size from those recom-

mended in the Owner’s Manual,

as this may result in a loss of

handling control.

●

Never use an inner tube in a

leaking 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

Never use oil or grease on the

wheel bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and

grease may cause the wheel nuts

to be excessively tightened, lead-

ing 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, caus-

ing 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 pro-

hibited

Do not use cracked or deformed

wheels. Doing so could cause the

tire to leak air during driving, pos-

sibly causing an accident.

NOTICE

■

Replacing tire pressure warn-

ing valves and transmitters

●

Because tire repair or replace-

ment may affect the tire pres-

sure warning valves and

transmitters, make sure to have

tires serviced by your Toyota

dealer or other qualified service

shop. In addition, make sure to

purchase your tire pressure

warning valves and transmit-

ters at your Toyota dealer.

●

Ensure that only genuine Toyota

wheels are used on your vehi-

cle.

Tire pressure warning valves

and transmitters may not work

properly with non-genuine

wheels.
