CAUTION
Conditions in which the use of Simple-IPA is prohibited
Do not use Simple-IPA under the following conditions.
Doing so may cause improper operation and lead to an unexpected acci-
dent.
On sharp bends or slopes.
On slippery or icy roads, or in snow.
On uneven road surfaces such as gravel.
During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a sandstorm.
When the tires are extremely worn or tire pressure is low.
When the vehicle has improper wheel alignment due to tires having
received a strong impact such as bumping against a curb.
When the compact spare tire (if equipped) or snow chains are installed.
When the tires slid while attempting to park.
When fallen leaves or snow is in a parking space.
When items such as a towing bracket, trailer, bicycle carrier, etc. are
installed on the rear of the vehicle.
When a vehicle of which the front/rear end is above the detection area,
such as a truck, bus or vehicle with a towing bracket, trailer, bicycle carrier,
etc., is parked at the front or rear of the parking space.
If the front bumper has been damaged.
If the sensor is covered by the front bumper cover, etc.
If a vehicle or obstacle is not in a suitable position at the front or rear of the
parking space.
Automatic steering precautions
As the steering wheel moves automatically in the parking assist function, be
aware of the following point.
Keep clothing such as neckties, scarves and long sleeves away from the
steering wheel, as they may become entangled. Also, keep children away
from the steering wheel.
If you have long fingernails, be careful not to injure yourself when the
steering wheel moves.

When trouble arises
CAUTION
If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold
firmly and operate using more force than usual.
When driving to clean the DPF catalytic converter (diesel engine)
When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain
and traffic conditions, and be sure to observe traffic laws and/or regulations.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning system)
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: If the tire pressure warning light comes
on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have
a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and
have the flat tire repaired by the nearest authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: If the tire pressure
warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is
probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair the
flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

When trouble arises
Stop the vehicle on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (Multidrive) or R (manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 480)
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with a spare
tire)
Your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire. The flat tire can be
replaced with the spare tire.
For details about tires: P. 426
CAUTION
If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair, which could result in an accident.

5347-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G98E)
Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel nuts
may loosen while the vehicle is in
motion, causing the tire to come
off.
Install the tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
When replacing a steel wheel
with a steel wheel (including a
compact spare tire), tighten the
wheel nuts until the tapered
portion comes into loose con-
tact with the disc wheel seat.
When replacing an aluminum
wheel with a steel wheel
(including a compact spare
tire), tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered portion comes into
loose contact with the disc
wheel seat.
Lower the vehicle.

When trouble arises
Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the order
shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque:
103 N•m (10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
The compact spare tire
The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
(P. 599)
When the compact spare tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard tires.
When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressure warn-
ing system)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by
the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire
after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Per-
form the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

When trouble arises
NOTICE
Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire
installed on the vehicle.
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over
uneven road surfaces.
Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving per-
formance.
When replacing the tires (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional as the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible.
Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when
replacing the tire. (P. 427)
