Item

Clean funnel

Brake fluid can absorb moisture 

from the air

Excess moisture in the brake fluid 

can cause a dangerous loss of brak-

ing efficiency. Use only newly 

opened brake fluid.

Except for Canada

If the washer fluid level is at 
“LOW”, add washer fluid.

For Canada

Add washer fluid in the following 
situations:

A washer does not work.

The warning message 
appears on the multi-informa-
tion display.

Using the gauge

The washer fluid level can be 

checked by observing the position 

of the level on the liquid-covered 

holes in the gauge.

If the level falls below the second 

hole from the bottom (the “LOW” 

position), refill the washer fluid.

WARNING

When filling the reservoir

Take care as brake fluid can harm 

your hands and eyes and damage 

painted surfaces.

If fluid gets on your hands or in 

your eyes, flush the affected area 

with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, 

see a doctor.

NOTICE

If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level 

to go down slightly as the brake 

pads wear out or when the fluid 

level in the accumulator is high.

If the reservoir needs frequent 

refilling, there may be a serious 

problem.

Before recharging

When recharging, the battery pro-

duces hydrogen gas which is flam-

mable and explosive. Therefore, 

observe the following precautions 

before recharging:

If recharging with the battery 

installed on the vehicle, be sure to 

disconnect the ground cable.

Make sure the charger is off when 

connecting and disconnecting the 

charger cables to the battery.

After recharging/reconnecting 

the battery

Unlocking the doors using the 

smart access system with 

push-button start may not be pos-

sible immediately after reconnect-

ing the battery. If this happens, 

use the wireless remote control or 

the mechanical key to lock/unlock 

the doors.

Start the engine with the engine 

switch in ACC. The engine may 

not start with the engine switch 

turned off. However, the engine 

will operate normally from the sec-

ond attempt.

WARNING

When adding washer fluid

Do not add washer fluid when the 

engine is hot or running as 

washer fluid contains alcohol and 

may catch fire if spilled on the 

engine, etc.

NOTICE

Do not use any fluid other 

than washer fluid

Do not use soapy water or engine 

antifreeze instead of washer fluid.

Doing so may cause streaking on 

the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as 

well as damaging the pump lead-

ing to problems of the washer 

fluid not spraying.

Diluting washer fluid

Dilute washer fluid with water as 

necessary.

open area. Do not charge the bat-

tery in a garage or closed room 

where there is insufficient ventila-

tion.

How to recharge the battery

Only perform a slow charge (5 A 

or less). The battery may explode 

if charged at a quicker rate.

Emergency measures regard-

ing electrolyte

If electrolyte gets in your eyes

Flush your eyes with clean 

water for at least 15 minutes 

and get immediate medical 

attention. If possible, continue 

to apply water with a sponge or 

cloth while traveling to the near-

est medical facility.

Also check the tires for uneven 
wear, such as excessive wear 
on one side of the tread.

The location of treadwear indicators 
is shown by a “TWI” or “

” mark, 

etc., molded into the sidewall of 
each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear 

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.

Low profile tires

Generally, low profile tires will wear 

more rapidly and tire grip perfor-

mance will be reduced on snowy 

and/or icy roads when compared to 

standard tires. Be sure to use snow 

tires or tire chains on snowy and/or 

icy roads and drive carefully at a 

speed appropriate for road and 

weather conditions.

Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load 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. (

6-4. Do-it-yourself maintenance

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.210)

If the tread on snow tires wears 

down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as 

snow tires is lost.

Checking the tire valves

When replacing the tires, check the 

tire valves for deformation, cracks, 

and other damage.

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.

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 warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a 
2-type warning system.

When “Adjust Pressure” is 
displayed (Normal Warning)

The tire pressure warning light 
comes on and a buzzer sounds 
when the tire inflation pressure 
becomes low due to natural air 
leakage or outside temperature. 
(Ways of coping: 

P.320, 358)

When “Immediately Check 
Tire when Safe” is displayed 

NOTICE

Low profile tires

Low profile tires may cause 

greater damage than usual to the 

tire wheel when sustaining impact 

from the road surface. Therefore, 

pay attention to the following:

Be sure to use proper tire infla-

tion pressure. If tires are 

under-inflated, they may be 

damaged more severely.

Avoid potholes, uneven pave-

ment, curbs and other road haz-

ards. Failure to do so may lead 

to severe tire and wheel dam-

age.

If tire inflation pressure of 

each tire becomes low while 

driving

Do not continue driving, or your 

tires and/or wheels may be 

ruined.

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.

Routine tire inflation pressure 

checks

The tire pressure warning system 

does not replace routine tire inflation 

pressure checks. Make sure to 

check tire inflation pressure as part 

of your routine of daily vehicle 

checks.

Tire inflation pressure

It may take a few minutes to dis-

play the tire inflation pressure 

after the engine switch is turned to 

ON. It may also take a few min-

utes to display the tire inflation 

pressure after inflation pressure 

has been adjusted.

Tire inflation pressure changes 

with temperature.

The displayed values may also be 

different from the values mea-

sured using a tire pressure gauge.

Situations in which the tire 

pressure warning system may 

not operate properly

In the following cases, the tire 

pressure warning system may not 

operate properly.

• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are 

used.

• 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 tires not equipped with tire pres-

sure warning valves and transmit-

ters are 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 driving conditions. 

For this reason, the system may 

give a warning even if the tire pres-

sure 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.

When replacing tires or wheels, 
tire pressure warning valves and 
transmitters must also be 
installed.
When new tire pressure warning 
valves and transmitters are 
installed, new ID codes must be 
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. (

P.286)

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.

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 

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 

286

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.

ID codes can be registered by 
yourself, but depending on 
the driving conditions and 
driving environment, registra-
tion may take some time to 
complete.

When using a wheel set 
which all of the ID codes have 
already been registered, the 
wheel set can be changed in 
a short amount of time.

Before performing ID code reg-
istration, make sure that no 
wheels with tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitters 
installed are near the vehicle.

1

Park the vehicle in a safe 
place and turn the engine 
switch off, wait for approxi-
mately 20 minutes or more, 
and then start the engine.

The ID code registration procedure 

cannot be performed while the 

vehicle is moving.

If the tire inflation pressure of 

the wheel set installed differs 
from that of the previous set, 
it will be necessary to per-
form the tire inflation pres-
sure setting procedure of the 
tire pressure warning system.

If the specified tire inflation pres-

sure is the same, it will not be nec-

essary to perform the tire inflation 

pressure setting procedure.

When registering ID codes

Normally, ID codes registration 

can be completed within approxi-

mately 30 minutes.

ID code registration is performed 

while driving at a vehicle speed of 

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) 

or more.

If ID codes are not registered 

easily

In the following situations, ID code 

registration may take longer than 

usual to be completed or may not 

be possible.

• When the vehicle has not been 

parked for approximately 20 min-

utes or more before being driven

• Vehicle is not driven at approxi-

mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more

• Vehicle is driven on unpaved
