Engine oil consumption

A certain amount of engine oil will

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 oil level rise

If the vehicle is repeatedly driven

without the engine warmed up,

moisture caused by dew condensa-

tion inside the engine or fuel which

did not burn mixes into the engine

oil, resulting in a rise in engine oil

level. However, this is not a mal-

function. For example, the engine

become difficult to be warmed up in

the following situations.

●

When driving a short distance

●

When driving at a low speed

●

When the outside temperature is

low

When checking the engine oil, make

sure that the engine is warmed up. If

the engine oil level exceeds the refill

upper limit mark, contact your Toy-

ota dealer.

NOTICE

■

To prevent serious engine

damage

Check the oil level on a regular

basis.

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.

■

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.

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.288)

■

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.

●

Do not tow if your vehicle has a

compact spare tire installed.

362

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

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.403, 443)



When “Immediately Check

tire when Safe” is displayed

(Emergency Warning)

The tire pressure warning light

comes on and a buzzer sounds

when the tire inflation pressure

becomes low suddenly due to a

blowout. (Ways of coping:



P.403,

P.414)

However, the system may not be

able to detect sudden tire ruptures

(bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the

tire pressure warning system can

be displayed on the multi-informa-

tion display.
The unit can be changed.

NOTICE

■

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.

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 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
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.

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. (

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

●

Greater possibility of tire dam-

age while driving (due to road

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.

set.

Toyota does not recommend

using the following:



Wheels of different sizes or

■

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.364)

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.

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.421) 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.
