■When rotating the tires
It is necessary to register the
position of each wheel after per-
forming a tire rotation.
Wheel position registration can
be performed by oneself. Wheel
position registration is per-
formed by driving forward with
moderate left and right turns.
However, depending on the driv-
ing conditions and driving envi-
ronment, registration may take
some time to complete.
■Registration of the tire posi-
tion
1 Park the vehicle in a safe

place for approximately 15 minutes
and then drive th
e vehicle again.
■When performing wheel posi-
tion registration
●Normally, wheel position registra-
tion can be completed within
approximately 30 minutes.
●Wheel position registration is per-
formed while driving at a vehicle
speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more.
■The initialization operation
●If the power switch is turned off
while registering the wheel posi-
tion, the next time the power
switch is turned to ON, the wheel
position registr ation will resume
and it will not be necessary to
restart the procedure.
●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 pres sure of a tire
drops, the tire pressure warning
light will come on.
■If the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is not registered properly
●In the following situations, wheel
position registration may take lon-
ger than usual to b e 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 initialization 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.
■When you need to setting
the tire pressure
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
setting procedure by selecting
specified 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 inflation 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 sys-
tem operates based on this tire
inflation pressure.

■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system (Set-
ting using the current tire infla-
tion pressure)
●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 ti re inflation pres-
sure increases above that when
the tire inflation pressure was set.
●Make sure to per form the tire
pressure setting p rocedure 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.

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 curren t tire inflation
pressure.

WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or
the area around the brakes
immediately after the vehicle
has been driven.
After the vehicle has been
driven the disc wheels and the
area around the brakes will be
extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands , feet or other
body parts while changing a tire,
etc. may result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precau-
tions could cause the wheel
bolts to loosen and the tire to fall
off, resulting in death or serious
injury.
• Never apply oil or grease to the wheel bolts or their contact sur-
face on the wheel .
Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts to be tightened exces-
sively, leading to damage to the
wheel bolts, the threaded por-
tion the wheel bolts install to ,
or the wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come
loose, possibly leading to the
wheel coming off, causing a
serious accident.
If oil or grease is attached to
either of these parts, remove it.
●When installing a wheel, use the
same wheel bolts that were
removed with the wheel. Also,
do not use any wheel bolts
other than Toyota Genuine
wheel bolts.
• If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or the threads of a wheel bolt or
the wheel hub are deformed,
cracked, rusty or otherwise
damaged, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■When tightening the wheel
bolts
Do not tighten the wheel bolts
excessively.
Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts, the threads of the wheel
hub, or the wheel to be damaged.
■Replacing a flat tire for vehi-
cles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to cancel the
power back door system
(  P.185). Failure to do so may
cause the back d oor to operate
unintentionally if the power back
door switch is accidentally
touched, resulti ng in hands and
fingers being caught and injured.
