When driving

Selecting tire chains
We recommend that you consult any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for infor-
mation about the chains that you can use.
Regulations on the use of tire chains
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.
■Tire chains
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains.
●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
●Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on front tires.
●Install tire chains on rear tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains
after driving approximately 100 m (328 ft.).
●Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.
CAUTION
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size, and that are the same size, same maker,
same brand and tread pattern.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit spec-
ified for the snow tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.

FT86_EE
Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
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 tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes
must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and tire
pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional. (→P. 318)
Vehicles with a spare tire of the same wheel type as the
installed tires
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.
To equalize tire wear and help
extend tire life, Toyota recom-
mends that tire rotation is car-
ried out approximately every
10000 km (6000 miles).
■Tire pressure warning system
Your Toyota 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.

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of
handling control.
■Wheel selection
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
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using:
●Wheels of different sizes or types
●Used wheels
●Bent wheels that have been straightened
■Aluminum wheel precautions
●Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.
●When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts 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
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

FT86_EE
■If the tire pressure warning system is inoperative
The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following conditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
are used.
●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●If the tire inflation pressure is 380 kPa (3.87 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 55 psi) or
higher.
The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies are
nearby.
●If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle.
●If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
●If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the
wheels or wheel housings.
●If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. (Even if you use Toyota wheels,
the tire pressure warning system may not work properly with some types
of tires.)
●If tire chains are used.
●If a large metallic object which can interfere with signal reception is put in
the trunk.
■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for
approximately one minute
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for
approximately one minute when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system) or
the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart
entry & start system), have it checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

When trouble arises
FT86_EE
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire
pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry
date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used
and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The compressor is reusable.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is -40°C (-40°F)
or more.
●The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than
the original ones, or for any other purposes.
●The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle before the
expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for replacement.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
●If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the
stain may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
●During operation of the repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
