Maintenance and care
Check if the treadwear indica-
tors are showing on the tires.
Also check the tires for uneven
wear, such as excessive wear
on one side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition
and pressure if not rotated.New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators
is shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark, etc., molded into the sidewall of
each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear
indicators are s
howing on a tire.
■When to replace your vehicle’s
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are
showing on a tire
●You have tire damage such as
cuts, splits, cracks deep enough
to expose the fabric, and bulges
indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or can-
not be properly repaired due to the
size or location of a cut or other
damage
If you are not sure, consult with your
Toyota dealer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be
checked by a qualified technician
even if it has seldom or never been
used or damage is not obvious.
■Low profile tires (18-inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear
more rapidly and tire grip perfor-
mance will be re duced on snowy
and/or icy roads when compared to
standard tires. Be sure to use snow
tires or tire chains on snowy and/or
icy roads and driv e carefully at a
speed appropriate for road and
weather conditions.
■Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the
replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings
(GAWR) of either the front axle or
the rear axle, whi chever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label.
For the maximum load of the tire,
see the load limit at maximum cold
tire inflation pressure mentioned on
the sidewall of the tire. ( P.401)
Tires
Replace or rotate tires in
accordance with mainte-
nance schedules and tread-
wear.
Checking tires

3286-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure and tire size
are displayed on the tire and
loading information label.
(P.397)
Tire valve Tire pressure gauge
1 Remove the tire valve cap.
2 Press the tip of the tire pres-
sure gauge onto the tire
valve.
3 Read the pressure using the
gauge gradations.
4 If the tire inflation pressure is
not at the recommended
level, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, press
the center of the valve to
deflate.
5 After completing the tire infla-
tion pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy
water to the valve and check
for leakage.
6 Put the tire valve cap back
on.
■Tire inflation pressure check
interval
You should check ti re inflation pres-
sure every two week s, or at least
once a month. Do not forget to
check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation
pressure
Driving with incorrec t tire inflation
pressure may resul t in the following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating,
have it checked by your Toyota
dealer.

ment procedure

3647-2. Steps to take in an emergency
system warning light may come on
and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on (vehicles with a
tire pressure warning system)
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is
punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.370
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn
it to ON. Check if the tire pressure
warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light
blinks for approximately 1 minute
then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the
tire pressure warning system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires
has lowered sufficiently, check
the inflation pressure of each tire
and adjust them to the specified
level.
2 If the warning light does not turn
off even after several minutes
have elapsed, check that the
inflation pressure of each tire is
at the specified level and perform
initialization. ( P.318)
■The tire pressure warning light
may come on due to natural
causes (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks and tire inflation
pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the
tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a
spare tire (vehicl es with a tire
pressure warning system)
The compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning
light will not turn off even though the
flat tire has been replaced with the
spare tire. Replace the spare tire
with the repaired tire and adjust the
tire inflation pressure. The tire pres-
sure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.
■Conditions that the tire pres-
sure warning system may not
function properly (vehicles with
a tire pressure warning system)
 P.315
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake
system warning lights remain
on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
The vehicle will become
extremely unstable during brak-
ing, and the ABS system may fail,
which could cause an accident
resulting in death o r serious injury.
■When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assis t to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel
become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations
are heavier than usual, grip the
steering wheel firmly and operate
it using more fo rce than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning
light comes on ( vehicles with
a tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
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.

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible. Adjust the
tire inflation pressure immedi-
ately.
●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire infla-
tion 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 Toy ota dealer.
●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 (vehi-
cles with a tire pressure warn-
ing system)
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) w hen one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overhea t and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to m aintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning
light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the te lltale will flash
for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or
signal low tire pressure as
intended.

3707-2. Steps to take in an emergency
ately.
• “Smart Key System Malfunction”
●If any of the following messages
are displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, it may indicate a
