be consumed while driving. In the 

following situations, oil consump-

tion may increase, and engine oil 

may need to be refilled in between 

oil maintenance intervals.

When the engine is new, for 

example directly after purchasing 

the vehicle or after replacing the 

engine

If low quality oil or oil of an inap-

propriate viscosity is used

When driving at high engine 

speeds or with a heavy load, 

when towing, or when driving 

while accelerating or decelerating 

frequently

When leaving the engine idling for 

a long time, or when driving fre-

quently through heavy traffic

Engine coolant reservoir

The coolant level is satisfactory 
if it is between the “FULL” and 
“LOW” lines on the reservoir 
when the engine is cold.

WARNING

Used engine oil

Used engine oil contains poten-

tially harmful contaminants 

which may cause skin disorders 

such as inflammation and skin 

cancer, so care should be taken 

to avoid prolonged and 

repeated contact. To remove 

used engine oil from your skin, 

wash thoroughly with soap and 

water.

Dispose of used oil and filters 

only in a safe and acceptable 

manner. Do not dispose of used 

oil and filters in household trash, 

in sewers or onto the ground.

Call your Toyota dealer, service 

station or auto parts store for 

information concerning recy-

cling or disposal.

Do not leave used engine oil 

within the reach of children.

NOTICE

To prevent serious engine 

damage

Check the oil level on a regular 

basis.

When replacing the engine oil

Be careful not to spill engine oil 

on the vehicle components.

Avoid overfilling, or the engine 

could be damaged.

Check the oil level on the dip-

stick every time you refill the 

vehicle.

Be sure the engine oil filler cap 

is properly tightened.

If oil is spilled on the engine 

cover

To prevent the engine cover from 

being damaged, remove any 

engine oil from the engine cover 

as soon as possible using a neu-

tral detergent. Do not use an 

organic solvent such as brake 

cleaner.

Coolant selection

Only use “Toyota Super Long Life 

Coolant” or a similar high quality 

ethylene glycol based non-silicate, 

non-amine, non-nitrite, and 

non-borate coolant with long-life 

hybrid organic acid technology.
U.S.A.:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 

a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% 

deionized water. (Minimum tem-

perature: -31°F [-35°C])
Canada:

“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 

a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% 

deionized water. (Minimum tem-

perature: -44°F [-42°C])
For more details about coolant, con-

tact your Toyota dealer.

If the coolant level drops within 

a short time of replenishing

Visually check the radiator, hoses, 

engine/power control unit coolant 

reservoir caps, drain cock and water 

pump.

If you cannot find a leak, have your 

Toyota dealer test the cap and 

check for leaks in the cooling sys-

tem.

WARNING

When the hybrid system is 

hot

Do not remove the engine/power 

control unit coolant reservoir caps 

and radiator cap.
The cooling system may be under 

pressure and may spray hot cool-

ant if the cap is removed, causing 

serious injuries, such as burns.

NOTICE

When adding coolant

Coolant is neither plain water nor 

straight antifreeze. The correct 

mixture of water and antifreeze 

must be used to provide proper 

lubrication, corrosion protection 

and cooling. Be sure to read the 

antifreeze or coolant label.

If you spill coolant

Be sure to wash it off with water to 

prevent it from damaging parts or

Before recharging

When recharging, the 12-volt bat-

tery produces hydrogen gas which 

is flammable and explosive. There-

fore, observe the following precau-

tions before recharging:

If recharging with the 12-volt bat-

tery installed on the vehicle, be 

sure to disconnect the ground 

cable.

Make sure the power switch on 

the charger is off when connecting

3

Restart the hybrid system.

Unlocking the doors using the 

smart key system may not be pos-

sible immediately after reconnect-

ing the 12-volt battery. If this 

happens, use the wireless remote 

control or the mechanical key to 

lock/unlock the doors.

Start the hybrid system with the 

power switch in ACC. The hybrid 

system may not start with the 

power switch turned off. However, 

the hybrid system will operate nor-

mally from the second attempt.

The power switch mode is 

recorded by the vehicle. If the 

12-volt battery is reconnected, the 

vehicle will return the power 

switch mode to the status it was in 

before the 12-volt battery was dis-

connected. Make sure to turn off 

the power before disconnect the 

12-volt battery. Take extra care 

when connecting the 12-volt bat-

tery if the power switch mode prior 

to discharge is unknown.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Check if the treadwear indica-
tors are showing on the tires. 
Also check the tires for uneven 
wear, such as excessive wear 
on one side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition 
and pressure if not rotated.

indicators are showing on a tire.

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 with 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.

Proper storage of the spare tire

As an improperly stored spare tire 

may cause damage to the wire 

cable that holds it, check that the 

spare tire is stored properly on a 

daily basis.

If the stored spare tire appears to 

be slanted or rattles while driving, 

the spare tire may not be properly 

stored. Store the spare tire again 

by performing the following tire 

change procedure correctly:

If the spare tire is slanted, the 

hoist assembly may be stuck in 

the wheel opening. If the spare 

tire rattles while driving, it may 

not be fully raised. Lower the 

spare tire to the ground and 

make sure that the hoist assem-

bly is perpendicular to the wheel 

opening.

Raise the tire slowly and steadily 

until a click is heard and the jack 

handle skips.

If the spare tire cannot be lowered, 

the wire cable may be severed. 

Have the vehicle inspected at your 

Toyota dealer.

Maximum load of tire

Check that the number given by 

dividing the maximum load by 1.10 

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, whichever 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 mentioned on 

the sidewall of the tire. (

P.518)

Tire types

Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance tires best suited to highway 
driving under dry conditions. Since 
summer tires do not have the same 
traction performance as snow tires, 
summer tires are inadequate for 

driving on snow-covered or icy 
roads. For driving on snow-covered 
roads or icy roads, the use of snow 
tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all 
four tires.

All season tires

All season tires are designed to pro-
vide better traction in snow and to 
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions as well as for use 
year-round. All season tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction 
performance compared with snow 
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, 
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway 
driving.

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads 
or icy roads, we recommend using 
snow tires. If you need snow tires, 
select tires of the same size, con-
struction 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 regulations for 
possible restrictions. Snow tires 
should be installed on all wheels. 
(

P.330)

If the tread on snow tires wears 

down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as 

snow tires is lost.

Rotate the tires in the order 
shown.

Front

To equalize tire wear and extend 
tire life, Toyota recommends that 
tire rotation is carried out at the 
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.

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 detected by 
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem can be displayed on the 

WARNING

When inspecting or replacing 

tires

Observe the following precautions 

to prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause dam-

age to parts of the drive train as 

well as dangerous handling char-

acteristics, which may lead to an 

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

Do not mix tires of different 

makes, models or tread pat-

terns.

Also, do not mix tires of remark-

ably different treadwear.

Do not use tire sizes other than 

those recommended by Toyota.

Do not mix differently con-

structed tires (radial, bias-belted 

or bias-ply tires).

Do not mix summer, all season 

and snow tires.

Do not use tires that have been 

used on another vehicle.

Do not use tires if you do not 

know how they were used previ-

ously.

Do not tow if your vehicle has a 

compact spare tire installed.

NOTICE

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving 

on roads with loose surfaces or 

potholes.

These conditions may cause 

losses in tire inflation pressure, 

reducing the cushioning ability of 

the tires. In addition, driving on 

rough roads may cause damage 

to the tires themselves, as well as 

the vehicle’s wheels and body.

If tire inflation pressure of 

each tire becomes low while 

driving

Do not continue driving, or your

• A tire has been replaced with a 

tire that is not an OE (Original 

Equipment) tire.

• A tire has been replaced with a 

tire that is not of the specified size.

• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.

• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire 

is equipped.

• If a window tint that affects the 

radio wave signals is installed.

• If there is a lot of snow or ice on

the vehicle, particularly around the 

wheels or wheel housings.

• If the tire inflation pressure is 

extremely higher than the speci-

fied level.

• If wheel without the tire pressure 

warning valve and transmitter is 

used.

• If the ID code on the tire pressure 

warning valves and transmitters is 

not registered in the tire pressure 

warning computer.

Performance may be affected in 

the following situations.

• Near a TV tower, electric power 

plant, gas station, radio station, 

large display, airport or other facil-

ity that generates strong radio 

waves or electrical noise

• When carrying a portable radio, 

cellular phone, cordless phone or 

other wireless communication 

device

If tire position information is not 

correctly displayed due to the 

radio wave conditions, the display 

may be corrected by driving and 

changing the radio wave condi-

tions.

When the vehicle is parked, the 

time taken for the warning to start 

or go off could be extended.

When tire inflation pressure 

declines rapidly for example when 

a tire has burst, the warning may 

not function.

Warning performance of the tire 

pressure warning system

The warning of the tire pressure 

warning system will change in 

accordance with the conditions 

under which it was initialized. For 

this reason, the system may give a 

warning even if the tire pressure 

does not reach a low enough level, 

or if the pressure is higher than the 

pressure that was adjusted to when 

the system was initialized.

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. (

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.

The tire pressure warning 
system must be initialized 
in the following circum-
stances:

When the tire inflation pres-
sure is changed such as 
when changing traveling 
speed.

When the tire inflation pres-
sure is changed such as 
when the tire size is changed.

When rotating the tires.

After registering the ID codes. 
(

P.431)

When the tire pressure warning 
system is initialized, the current 
tire inflation pressure is set as 
the benchmark pressure.

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 pressure 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 repaired 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. (

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Drive the vehicle at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or 
more for approximately 10 to 30 
minutes until the inflation pres-
sure of each tire is displayed on 
the multi-information display.
When initialization is complete, 
the inflation pressure of each 
tire will be displayed on the 
multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven 
at approximately 25 mph (40 
km/h) or more, initialization can 
be completed by driving for a 
long time. However, if initializa-
tion does not complete after 
driving for 1 hour or more, park 
the vehicle in a safe place for 
approximately 20 minutes and 
then drive the vehicle again.

Initializing the tire pressure 

warning system

Initialize the system with the tire 

inflation pressure adjusted to the 

specified level.

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 

power switch off during initializa-

tion, it is not necessary to restart 

the initialization again as initializa-

tion will restart automatically when 

the power switch has been turned 

to ON for the next time.

If you accidentally restart the ini-

tialization when initialization is not 

necessary, adjust the tire inflation 

pressure to the specified level 

when the tires are cold, and con-

duct initialization again.

While the position of each tire is 

being determined and the inflation 

pressures are not being displayed 

on the multi-information display, if 

the inflation pressure of a tire 

drops, the tire pressure warning 

light will come on.

When initialization of the tire 

pressure warning system has 

failed

Initialization may take longer to 

complete if the vehicle is driven on 

an unpaved road. When performing 

initialization, drive on a paved road if 

possible. Depending on the driving 

environment and condition of the 

tires, initialization will be completed 

in approximately 10 to 30 minutes. If 

initialization is not complete after 

driving approximately 10 to 30 min-

utes, continue driving for a while.
If the inflation pressure of each tire 

is not displayed after driving for 

approximately 1 hour, perform the 

following procedure.

Park the vehicle in a safe place for 

approximately 20 minutes. Then 

drive straight (with occasional left 

and right turns) at approximately 

25 mph (40 km/h) or more for 

approximately 10 to 30 minutes.

However, in the following situations, 

the tire inflation pressure will not be 

recorded and the system will not 

operate properly. Perform initializa-

tion again.

If the vehicle is reversed during 

initialization, the data up to that 

point is reset, so perform the ini-

tialization procedure again from 

the beginning.

When operating the tire pressure 

warning reset switch, the tire pres-

sure warning light does not blink 3 

times.

After performing initialization, the 

tire pressure warning light blinks 

for 1 minute then stays on while
