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.
■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.438)
■Tire types
●Summer tires
Tires
Replace or rotate tires in
accordance with mainte-
nance schedules and tread-
wear.
Checking tires

3526-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since
summer tires do not have the same
traction performanc e as snow tires,
summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy
roads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow
tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all
four tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to pro-
vide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions a s well as for use
year-round. All season tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway
driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads
or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires,
select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the
originally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original
equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction.
Do not install stud ded tires without
first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels.
(  P.279)
■If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as
snow tires is lost.
■Checking the tire valves
When replacing the tires, check the
tire valves for deformation, cracks,
and other damage.
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to parts of the drive train as
well as dangerous handling char-
acteristics, which may lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●Do not mix tires of different
makes, models or tread pat-
terns.
Also, do not mix tires of remark-
ably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently con-
structed tires (radial, bias-belted
or bias-ply tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season
and snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been
used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not
know how they were used previ-
ously.
●Do not tow if your vehicle has a
compact spare tire installed.
NOTICE
■If tire inflation pressure of
each tire becomes low while
driving
Do not continue driving, or your
tires and/or wheels may be
ruined.

3536-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is c arried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a
2-type warning system.

When “Adjust Pressure” is
displayed (Normal Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low due to natural air
leakage or outside temperature.
(Ways of coping: P.395, 434)
 When “Immediately Check
tire when Safe” is displayed
(Emergency Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low suddenly due to a
blowout. (Ways of coping: P.395,
P.405)
However, the system may not be
able to detect sudden tire ruptures
(bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The unit can be changed.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving
on roads with loose surfaces or
potholes.
These conditions may cause
losses in tire inf lation pressure,
reducing the cushio ning ability of
the tires. In addit ion, driving on
rough roads may cause damage
to the tires themselves, as well as
the vehicle’s wheels and body.

■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks . Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine o f daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the engine switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after infl ation pressure
has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes
with temperature.
The displayed values may also be
different from the values mea-
sured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire

Maintenance and care
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are
used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on
the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
extremely higher than the speci-
fied level.
• If wheel without tire pressure
warning valves a nd transmitters
are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure
warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in
the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio,
cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device
●If tire position information is not
correctly displayed due to the
radio wave conditions, the display
may be corrected by driving and
changing the radio wave condi-
tions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the
time taken for the warning to start
or go off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure
declines rapidly for example when
a tire has burst, the warning may
not function.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure
warning system w ill change in
accordance with the conditions
under which it was initialized. For
this reason, the system may give a
warning even if th e tire pressure
does not reach a low enough level,
or if the pressure is higher than the
pressure that was adjusted to when
the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels,
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be
installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must
be initialized. ( P.358)
■When replacing the tires and
wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure
warning valve and tr ansmitter is not
registered, the tire pressure warning
system will not work properly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.

■The tire pressure warning
system must be initialized
in the following circum-
stances:
 When rotating the tires. 
When changing the tire.
 After registering the ID codes.
( P.358)
 When changing between two
registered wheel sets.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as
the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire
pressure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place and stop the engine for
20 minutes or more.
Initialization cannot be performed
while the vehicle is moving.
2Adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified cold tire
inflation pressure level.

■Repairing or replacing tires,
wheels, tire pressure warn-
ing valves, transmitters and
tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmit-
ters, contact your Toyota dealer
as the tire pr essure warning
valves and transmitters may be
damaged if not handled cor-
rectly.
●Make sure to install the tire
valve caps. If the tire valve caps
are not installed, water could
enter the tire pressure warning
valves and the tire pressure
warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing ti re valve caps,
do not use tire valve caps other
than those specified. The cap
may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. Make
sure to replace the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter
when replaci ng the tire. (P.355)

Drive straight (with occa-
sional left and right turns) at
approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the
inflation pressure of each tire will be
displayed on the multi-information
display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, initialization can be com-
pleted by driving for a long time.
However, if initialization does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or
more, park the vehicle in a safe
place for approximately 20 minutes
and then drive the vehicle again.
■When initializing
●Initialization is p erformed while
driving at a veh icle speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying out initialization or
tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●The tire pressure warning system
can be initialized by yourself, but
depending on the driving condi-
tions and driving environment, ini-
tialization may take some time to
complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch to OFF during ini-
tialization, it is not necessary to
restart the initialization again as
initialization will re start automati-
cally when the engine switch has
been turned to ON for the next
time.
●If you accidentally perform initial-

3586-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
ization when initialization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
●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 initialized properly
●In the following situations, initial-
ization may take longer than usual
to be completed or may not be
possible. Normally, initialization
completes within approximately
30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not driven at approxi- mately 25 mph ( 40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved
roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehi- cles and system cannot recog-
nize tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters of your vehicle
over those of other vehicles.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where
other vehicles are driven close by,
it may take time for the system to
recognize the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and tran smitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehi-
cles.
●If initialization does not complete
after driving for 1 hour or more,
park the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 20 minutes and
then drive the vehicle again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
initialization, the data up to that
point is reset, so perform the ini-
tialization procedure again from
the beginning.
●In the following situations, initial-
ization will not be started or was
not completed properly and the
system will not operate properly. Perform the initialization proce-
dure again.
• If, when attempting to start initial-
ization, the tire pressure warning
light does not blink 3 times.
• If, when the veh icle has been
driven for about 20 minutes after
performing initialization, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for
approximately 1 minute and then
illuminates.
●If the inflation pr essure of each
tire is still not displayed, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
Every tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter has a
unique ID code. When replacing
a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code.
When registering the ID codes,
perform the following procedure.
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place, wait for approximately
20 minutes, and then start
the engine.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not initializing tire inflation
pressure without f irst adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the
specified 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.

■When registering ID codes
●ID code registration is performed
while driving at a vehicle speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
●Before performin g ID code regis-
tration, make sure that no wheels
with tire pressur e warning valve
and transmitters installed are near
the vehicle.
●Make sure to initialize the tire
pressure warning system after
registering the ID codes. If the
system is initializ ed before regis-
tering the ID codes, the initialized
values will be invalid.
●ID codes can be registered by
yourself, but depending on the
driving conditions and driving
environment, registration may
take some time to complete.
●As the tires will be warm when
registration is completed, make
sure to allow the tires to cool
before performing initialization.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration
after it has been started, select
“Identify Wheel” o n the multi-infor-
mation display and press and hold
again.
●If ID code registration has been
canceled, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blink for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the engine switch is turned to ON and then
illuminate. The tire pressure warn-
ing system will be operational
when the tire pressure warning
light turns off.
●If the warning lig
ht does not turn
off even after several minutes
have elapsed, ID code registration
may not have been canceled cor-
rectly. To cancel registration, per-
form the ID code registration start
procedure again and then turn the
engine switch off before driving.
■If ID codes are not registered
