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.

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 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 (vehicles with
195/50R19 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 on snowy and/or icy roads and
drive carefully at a speed appropri-
ate 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 men-
tioned on the sidewall of the tire.

Tire types

●

Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed per-

formance tires best suited to high-

way driving under dry conditions.

Since summer tires do not have

the same traction performance as

snow tires, summer tires are inad-

equate for driving on snow-cov-

ered or icy roads. For driving on

snow-covered roads or icy roads,

the use of snow tires is recom-

mended. When installing snow

tires, be sure to replace all four

tires.

●

All season tires

All season tires are designed to

provide better traction in snow and

to be adequate for driving in most

winter conditions as well as for

use year-round. All season tires,

however, do not have adequate

traction performance compared

with snow tires in heavy or loose

snow. Also, all season tires fall

short in acceleration and handling

performance compared with sum-

mer tires in highway driving.

●

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered

roads or icy roads, we recom-

mend using snow tires. If you

need snow tires, select tires of the

same size, construction 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.353)

■

If the tread on snow tires wears

down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as

snow tires is lost.

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 drivetrain 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 tow if your vehicle has a

compact spare tire installed.

●

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.

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.

Front

■

When rotating the tires

Make sure that the power switch is

off. If the tires are rotated while the

power switch is in ON, the tire posi-

tion information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either

turn the power switch to off and then

to ON, or initialize the system after

checking that the tire pressure is

properly adjusted.

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.

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.

■

Low profile tires (vehicles

with 195/50R19 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.

• 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.
• 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 tire pressure

warning valves and transmitters
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 cor-
rectly displayed due to the radio
wave conditions, the display may be
corrected by changing the location
of the vehicle as the radio wave
conditions may change.

●

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. (



P.434)

■

When replacing the 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. In this
case, after driving for about 20 min-
utes, the tire pressure warning light
blinks for 1 minute and stays on to
indicate a system malfunction.

mately 10 to 30 minutes.

When wheel position registration is
complete, a message indicating
that registration has been com-
pleted and the inflation pressure of
each tire will be displayed on the
multi-information display.

Even if it is not possible to drive
continuously at approximately 25
mph (40 km/h) or more, registration
can be completed by driving for a
long time. However, if registration
does not complete after driving for
1 hour or more, park the vehicle in
a safe place and leave it with the
power switch in ON for approxi-
mately 15 minutes or more, and
then perform the driving procedure
again.

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 vehicle 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

●

Wheel deformation and/or tire

damage

●

Greater possibility of tire dam-

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

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

●

Be sure to install the wheel nuts

with the tapered ends facing

inward. (



P.500) 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, possibly

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.
