Tires Replace or rotate tires in accordance with maintenance schedules and treadwear. Tires Checking Checking tires Check if the treadwear indicators 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. New tread Worn tread Treadwear indicator 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. Note: 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 cannot 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. 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. (Tire information) Tire types Summer tires Summer tires are high-speed performance 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 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 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, 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. (Winter driving tips) 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 damage to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear. Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota. Do not mix differently constructed 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 previously. Do not use tires with different load rating and/ or speed symbol than what is specified on tire pressure label or in owner’s manual. 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. Tires Rotating tires Tire rotation Rotate the tires in the order shown. Front Tires Tire pressure warning system Tires Tire inflation pressure display function Tire pressure warning system Function Tire pressure warning system Tire inflation pressure Tire inflation pressure display function Flat tire Tire pressure warning system Multi-information display Tire pressure Tire pressure displayTire pressure warning system 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 system 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: The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes, Tires and wheels) 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: If you have a flat tire) 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-information display. The unit can be changed.

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 display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes 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 measured 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 specified level. If wheels 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 facility 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 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 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. Certification Tire pressure warning system Tire pressure warning system Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters 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. (Registering ID codes) Note: 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. After driving for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunction. Notice: Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters and tire valve caps When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled correctly. Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed, water could enter the tire pressure warning valves, corrode the 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.

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 initialization does not complete after driving for 1 hour or more, park the vehicle in a safe place for more than 20 minutes and please drive a vehicle once again with the engine switch ON. (If ID codes are not registered properly) Note: When initializing Initialization is performed while driving at a vehicle speed of approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more. Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pressure. Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire inflation pressure adjustment. The tire pressure warning system can be initialized by yourself, but depending on the driving conditions and driving environment, initialization may take some time to complete. The initialization operation If you have accidentally turned the engine switch off during initialization, it is not necessary to restart the initialization again as initialization will restart when the engine switch has been turned to ON for the next time. If you accidentally perform initialization when initialization is not necessary, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the tires are cold, and conduct 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. If the tire pressure warning system is not initialized properly In the following situations, initialization may take longer than usual to be completed or may not be possible. Normally, initialization completes within approximately 30 minutes. Vehicle is not driven at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads Vehicle is driven near other vehicles and system cannot recognize tire pressure warning valve and transmitters of your vehicle over those of other vehicles If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where other vehicles are driven close by, it may take time for the system to recognize the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters of your vehicle over those of other vehicles. If initialization 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. If the vehicle is reversed during initialization, the data up to that point is reset, so perform the initialization procedure again from the beginning. In the following situations, initialization will not be started or was not completed properly and the system will not operate properly. Perform the initialization procedure again. If, when attempting to start initialization, the tire pressure warning light does not blink 3 times. If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after performing initialization, the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then illuminates. If initialization cannot be completed after performing the above procedure, contact your Toyota dealer. Warning: When initializing the tire pressure warning system Do not initialize tire pressure without first adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level.
