your aluminum wheels.

l Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
l Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
nWhen replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to
provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must be installed. ( P. 455)

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.
