6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

It is necessary to register the 
position of each wheel after per-
forming a tire rotation.
Wheel position registration can 
be performed by oneself. Wheel 
position registration is per-
formed by driving forward with 
moderate left and right turns. 
However, depending on the driv-
ing conditions and driving envi-
ronment, registration may take 
some time to complete.

NOTICE

■

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. (

When performing wheel posi-

tion registration

●

Normally, wheel position registra-

tion can be completed within 

approximately 30 minutes.

●

Wheel position registration is per-

formed while driving at a vehicle 

speed of approximately 25 mph 

(40 km/h) or more.

■

cedure

●

If the engine switch is turned off 

while registering the wheel posi-

tion, the next time the engine 

switch is turned to ON, the wheel 

position registration will resume 

and it will not be necessary to 

restart the procedure.

●

While the position of each wheel is 

being determined and the inflation 

pressures are not being dis-

played, if the inflation pressure of 

a tire drops, the tire pressure 

warning light will come on.

■

If the wheel position cannot be 

registered easily

●

In the following situations, wheel 

290

position registration may take lon-

ger than usual to be completed or 

may not be possible.

• Vehicle is not driven at approxi-

mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more

• Vehicle is driven on unpaved 

roads

• If wheel position registration does 

not complete after driving for 1 

hour or more, park the vehicle in a 

safe place for approximately 15 

minutes and then drive the vehicle 

again.

●

If the vehicle is reversed during 

wheel position registration, all 

data collected until then will be 

cleared. Perform driving again.

In the following situations, it will 
be necessary to perform the tire 
inflation pressure setting proce-
dure of the tire pressure warning 
system.



When the specified tire infla-
tion pressure has changed, 
such as due to carried load, 
etc.



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

If the tire inflation pressure has 
been adjusted to the specified 
level, perform the tire inflation set-
ting procedure by selecting speci-
fied inflation pressure on the 
multi-information display.
When the tire inflation pressure is 
to be other than specified, such as 
when tires other than the specified 
size are used, etc., set the tire infla-
tion pressure using the current 
pressure. Make sure to adjust the 

tire inflation pressure of each tire to 
the appropriate level before per-
forming tire pressure setting. The 
tire pressure warning system oper-
ates based on this tire inflation 
pressure.

Warning performance of the tire 

pressure warning system

●

When performing the tire pressure 

setting using the current tire infla-

tion pressure, the warning timing 

of the tire pressure warning sys-

tem will vary according to the con-

ditions under which tire pressure 

setting was performed. Therefore, 

a warning may be output even if 

the tire inflation pressure drops 

slightly or if the tire inflation pres-

sure increases above that when 

the tire inflation pressure was set.

●

Make sure to perform the tire 

pressure setting procedure after 

adjusting the tire inflation pres-

sure. Also, make sure the tires are 

cold before performing the tire 

pressure setting procedure or 

adjusting the tire inflation pres-

sure.

■

Tire inflation pressure setting 

procedure

●

If the engine switch is turned off 

while setting the tire inflation pres-

sure, the next time the engine 

switch is turned to ON, the setting 

procedure will resume and it will 

not be necessary to restart the 

procedure.

●

If the tire inflation pressure setting 

procedure is started unnecessar-

ily, adjust the tire inflation pres-

sure to the specified level with the 

tires cold and then perform setting 

by selecting a specified tire infla-

tion pressure, or perform the tire 

inflation pressure setting proce-

dure with the current tire inflation 

pressure.

■

If the tire inflation pressure can-

not be set easily

●

Normally, the tire inflation pres-

sure setting procedure can be 

completed in 2 or 3 minutes.

●

If the tire pressure warning light 

does not blink 3 times when start-

ing the tire inflation pressure set-

ting procedure, the procedure 

may not have started. Perform the 

procedure again from the begin-

ning.

●

If tire inflation pressure setting 

procedure cannot be completed 

after performing the above proce-

dure, contact your Toyota dealer.

The tire pressure warning valve 
and transmitter is equipped with 
a unique ID code. When new 
tire pressure warning valves and 
transmitters are installed, new 
ID codes must be registered in 
the tire pressure warning com-
puter.

registration, select “Register Valve / 

ID” on the multi-information display.

Your vehicle is equipped with a 
tire pressure warning system 
with a function to register two 
sets of ID codes. This allows for 
registration of a second wheel 
set, for example a winter set.
The wheel set can be changed 
only if a second wheel set has 
been registered to the system. If 
a second wheel set has not 
been registered, it will not be 
possible to change to the 
selected wheel set.
ID codes can be registered by 
yourself.



Only a change between both 
registered wheel set is possi-
ble, mixing between these 
wheel sets is not supported.



While registering ID codes, it 
may not be possible to 
change between wheel sets 
normally. Cancel registration

1

Remove the tire valve cap.

2

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

3

Read the pressure using the 
gauge gradations.

4

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.

5

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

6

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. Do not forget to 

check the spare.

■

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 drive train

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

re

When replacing wheels, care 
should be taken to ensure that 
they are equivalent to those 
removed in load capacity, diam-
eter, rim width and inset

*

.

Replacement wheels are avail-
able at your Toyota dealer.

*

: 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, the tire pressure warning 

valves and transmitters must be 

installed. (



P.287)

WARNING

●

Greater possibility of tire dam-

age while driving (due to road 

hazards, expansion joints, 

sharp edges on 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.



Use only Toyota wheel nuts 
and wheel nut 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 acci-

dent, causing death or serious 

injury.

■

When installing the wheel 

nuts

●

Be sure to install the wheel nuts 

with the tapered ends facing 

inward. (



P.351) Installing the 

nuts with the tapered ends fac-

ing outward can cause the 

wheel to break and eventually 

cause the wheel to come off 

while driving, which could lead 

to an accident 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 

tightened, 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 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.
