The current tire inflation pres-
sure values and the intended
tire inflation pressure values for
the mounted tires can be dis-
played on the Control Display.

To ensure that they are dis-
played correctly, the tire sizes
must be stored in the system
and must have been set, refer to
page 280, for the mounted tires.

The current tire inflation pres-
sure value is located on each
tire.

The reference tire inflation pres-
sure value is located in the
lower area of the Control Dis-
play.

Tires heat up while driving. The
tire inflation pressure increases
with the tire temperature.

Tires have a natural, consistent
loss of tire inflation pressure.

The displays of inflation devices
may under-read by up to 0.1
bar/2 psi.

The tire inflation pressure speci-
fications in the tire inflation pres-
sure table only relate to cold
tires or tires at the same tem-
perature as the ambient tem-
perature.

Only check the tire inflation
pressure levels when the tires
are cold, i.e.:
• Driving range of max. 1.25

miles/2 km has not been
exceeded.

• If the vehicle has not moved

again for at least 2 hours after
a trip.

Check the tire inflation pressure
of the emergency wheel in the
cargo area regularly, and correct
it as needed.

Determine, refer to page 264,
the intended tire inflation
pressure levels for the
mounted tires.

Check the tire inflation pres-
sure in all four tires, using a
pressure gauge, for example.

Correct the tire inflation pres-
sure if the actual tire inflation
pressure deviates from spec-
ified tire inflation pressure.

Check whether all valve caps
are screwed onto the tire
valves.

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.

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-

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.

The following properties are rec-

ommended and approved by the

manufacturer of the vehicle for

the approved wheels and tires

per vehicle type and special

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

crosssection. 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, avoid driving over

objects or road conditions that

may damage tires, or drive over

them slowly and carefully.

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

unexpected loosening of the lug

bolts and damage to the brake

discs. There is a risk of 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-
