Winter and all-season tires with
better cold weather performance
than summer tires.
Do not drive with a tire tread of
less than 0.12 in/3 mm, other-
wise there is an increased risk
of hydroplaning.
Do not drive with a tire tread of
less than 0.16 in/4 mm, as such
tires are less suitable for winter
operation.Wear indicators are distributed
around the tire's circumference
and have the legally required
minimum height of 0.063
inches/1.6 mm.
The positions of the wear indica-
tors are marked on the tire side-
wall with TWI, Tread Wear
Indicator.
Inspect your tires regularly for
damage, foreign objects lodged
in the tread, and tread wear.
Driving over rough or damaged
road surfaces, as well as debris,
curbs and other obstacles can
cause serious damage to
wheels, tires and suspension
parts. This is more likely to
occur with low-profile tires,
which provide less cushioning
between the wheel and the
road. Be careful to avoid road
hazards and reduce your speed,
especially if your vehicle is
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not over-
loaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.

equipped with low-profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or
other vehicle malfunctions:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tire or running noises.
• Unusual handling such as a strong tendency to pull to the
left or right.
Damage can be caused by the
following situations, for instance:
• Driving over curbs.
• Road damage.
• Tire inflation pressure too low.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tire storage.
Have mounting and wheel bal-
ancing carried out by your Toy-
ota dealer.
The following properties are rec-
ommended and approved by the
manufacturer of the vehicle for
the approved wheels and tires
per vehicle type and special
equipment:
• Wheel and tire combinations.
• Rim designs.
• Tire sizes.
• Tire brands.
You can ask a manufacturer ser-
vice center or another qualified
service center or repair shop
about the approved wheels and
Safety information
WARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire infla-
tion pressure, which can lead to
loss of vehicle control. There is a
risk of an accident. If tire damage
is suspected while driving, imme-
diately reduce speed and stop.
Have wheels and tires checked.
For this purpose, drive carefully to
the nearest your Toyota dealer.
Have vehicle towed or trans-
ported as needed. Do not repair
damaged tires, but have them
replaced.
WARNING
Tires can become damaged by
driving over obstacles, e.g., curbs
or road damage, at high speed.
Larger wheels have a smaller tire
crosssection. The smaller the tire
cross-section, the higher the risk
of tire damage. There is a danger
of accidents and property dam-
age. If possible, avoid driving over
objects or road conditions that
may damage tires, or drive over
them slowly and carefully.

cial equipment.For each tire size, the manufac-
turer of the vehicle recommends
certain tire brands. The tire
brands can be identified by a
star on the tire sidewall.

Safety information
WARNING
Wheels and tires which are not
suitable for your
vehicle can dam-
age parts of the vehicle, for
instance due to contact with the
body due to tolerances despite
the same official size rating.
There is a risk of an accident. The
manufacturer of your vehicle
strongly suggests that you use
wheels and tires that have been
recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer for your vehicle
type.
WARNING
Mounted steel wheels can cause
technical problems, for instance
unexpected loosening of the lug
bolts and damage to the brake
discs. There is a risk of accident.
Do not mount steel wheels.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel/tire combinations
will have a negative impact on the
vehicle's handling and on the
function of a variety of systems,
such as the Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem or Vehicle Stability Control
System. There is a risk of an acci-
dent. To maintain good handling
and vehicle response, use only
tires with a single tread configura-
tion from a single manufacturer.
The manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends that you use wheels
and tires that have been recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer for your vehicle type.
Following tire damage, have the
original wheel/tire combination
remounted on the vehicle as soon
as possible.

tial after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
The manufacturer of your vehi-
cle does not recommend the
use of retreaded tires.
Winter tires are recommended
for operating on winter roads.
Although so-called all-season
M+S tires provide better winter
traction than summer tires, they
usually do not provide the same
level of performance as winter
tires.
If the maximum speed of the
vehicle is higher than the per-
missible speed for the winter
tires, then attach a label show-
ing the permissible maximum
speed in the field of view. The label is available from your Toy-
ota dealer.
With winter tires mounted,
observe and do not exceed the
permissible maximum speed.
Do not exceed the maximum tire
inflation pressure indicated on
the side wall of the tire.
Store wheels and tires in a cool,
dry and dark place.
Always protect tires against all
contact with oil, grease, and sol-
vents.
Do not leave tires in plastic
bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or
tires.
Retreaded tires
WARNING
Retreaded tires can have different
tire casing structures. With
advanced age the service life can
be limited. There is a risk of an
accident. The manufacturer of
your vehicle does not recommend
the use of retreaded tires.

With the Mobility System, minor
tire damage can be sealed tem-
porarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, seal-
ant is pumped into the tires,
which seals the damage from
the inside. • Follow the instructions on
using the Mobility System
found on the compressor and
sealant container.
• Use of the Mobility System may be ineffective if the tire
puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.
• Contact your Toyota dealer if the tire cannot be made driv-
able.
• Do not remove foreign bodies that have penetrated the tire.
Only remove foreign objects if
they are visibly protruding
from the tire.
• Pull the speed limit sticker off the sealant container and
apply it to the steering wheel.
• The use of a sealant can
damage the TPM wheel elec-
tronics. In this case, have the
electronics checked and
replaced at the next opportu-
nity.
• The compressor can be used to check the tire inflation pres-
sure.
