Maintenance and care
until the tire pressure warn-
ing light blinks 3 times.
If the tire pressure is initialized while the tire pressure is significantly reduced,
the tire pressure warning light will blinks three times and then turn off, but after vehicle is in drive it will turn on again
and the initialization will not be com- pleted.Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
specified cold tire inflation pressure level and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure. Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initialization, it is not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization will
restart automatically when the engine switch is turned to ON the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not neces-sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure
to the specified level when the tires are cold, and conduct initialization again.
■If the tire pressure warning system
is not initialized properly
●In the following situations, initialization
will not be started or was not com-
pleted properly and the system will not operate properly. Perform the initial-ization procedure again.
• If, when attempting to start initializa- tion, the tire pressure warning light does not blink 3 times.
●If initialization cannot be completed after performing the above procedure,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pres-sure warning system
Do not initialize the tire pressure
warning system without first adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the speci-fied level. Otherwise, the tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when the tire inflation
pressure is actually normal.

Tire inflation pressure is specified
on the label on the driver’s side
door frame as shown.
Left-hand drive vehicles
Right-hand drive vehicles
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drivetrain
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, 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 1.5 km or 1 mile, 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 pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper
tire inflation pressure. Tire
inflation pressure should be
checked at least once per
month. However, Toyota rec-
ommends that tire inflation
pressure be checked once
every two weeks. ( P.350)

Maintenance and care
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Toyota does not recommend using
the following:
 Wheels of different sizes or types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When removing the wheel orna- ment (vehicles with a wheel cap clip)
Remove the wheel ornament using the
wheel cap clip*.*: The wheel cap clip is installed in
under the luggage compartment.
WARNING
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting
from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
●Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards, expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
B e s ur e t o pu t th e t i r e v al ve ca ps ba ck
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.
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.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Use only Toyota wheel bolts and
wheel bolt wrenches designed
for use with your aluminum
wheels.
 When rotating, repairing or
changing your tires, check that
the wheel bolts are still tight after
driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
 Be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
 Use only Toyota genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when bal-
ancing your wheels.
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a differ-
ent size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leak-ing wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
■Use of defective wheels prohib-ited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly
causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.Tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may not work properly with non-genuine wheels.

transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the engine
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at
under 30 km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drivetrain, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
For vehicles with Multidrive, only
the front towing eyelets may be
used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
WARNING
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
the front wheels raised or with all four wheels raised off the ground. If the vehicle is towed with the front wheels
contacting the ground, the drivetrain and related parts may be damaged.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear
when the engine switch is off. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front
wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
