To avoid serious personal injury and
damage to your vehicle which might re-
sult from battery explosion, acid burns,
electrical burns, or damaged electronic
components, these instructions must be
followed precisely.
If you are unsure about how to follow this
procedure, we strongly recommend that
you seek the help of a competent me-
chanic or towing service.
CAUTION
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when
jump starting, and avoid spilling
acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-
hicle.
If you should accidentally get acid
on yourself or in your eyes, remove
any contaminated clothing and flush
the affected area with water imme-
diately. Then get immediate medical
attention. If possible, continue to
apply water with a sponge or cloth
while en route to the medical office.
The gas normally produced by a
battery will explode if a flame or
spark is brought near. Use only
standardized jumper cables and do
not smoke or light a match while
jump starting.
NOTICE
The battery used for boosting must
be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you
are sure that the booster battery is
correct.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the vehicles
are not touching. Turn off all unneces-
sary lights and accessories.
When boosting, use the battery of
matching or higher quality. Any other
battery may be difficult to jump start
with.
If jump starting is difficult, charge the
battery for several minutes.
2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster and discharged batter-
ies. Lay a cloth over the open vents
on the batteries. (This helps reduce the
explosion hazard, personal injuries and
burns.)
3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not running, start it
and let it run for a few minutes. During
jump starting, run the engine at about
2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed.

shown in the following illustration:Connecting point
Do not connect the cable to or near
any part that moves when the engine
is cranked.
CAUTION
When making the connections, to
avoid serious injury, do not lean over
the battery or accidentally let the
jumper cables or clamps touch any-
thing except the correct battery termi-
nals or the ground.

5. Start your engine in the normal way.After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm
for several minutes with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover cloths—they may now contain sulfuric
acid.
8. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent (for example, lights left on),
you should have it checked at your Toyota
dealer.
If the first start attempt is not success-
ful...
Check that the clamp on the jumper
cables are tight. Recharge the discharged
battery with the jumper cables connected
for several minutes and restart your en-
gine in the normal way.
If the another attempt is not successful,
the battery may be depleted. Have it ch-
ecked at your Toyota dealer. If your engine stalls while driving...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Turn the ignition key to “ACC” or “LOCK”, and try starting the engine
again.
If the engine will not start, see “If your
vehicle will not start” on page 432 in this
Section.
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic throttle control system.
At this time, vibration may occur. Howev-
er, if you depress the accelerator pedal
more firmly and slowly, you can drive your
vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.
CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.

If your engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating, if you ex-
perience a loss of power, or if you hear
a loud knocking or pinging noise, the
engine has probably overheated. You
should follow this procedure...1. Pull safely off the road, stop the ve- hicle and turn on your emergency
flashers. Put the transmission in “P”
and apply the parking brake. Turn off
the air conditioning if it is being used.
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir, stop the engine.
Wait until the steam subsides before
opening the hood. If there is no coolant
boiling over or steam, leave the engine
running and make sure the electric
cooling fan is operating. If it is not,
turn the ignition off.
CAUTION
To help avoid personal injury, keep
the hood closed until there is no
steam. Escaping steam or coolant is
a sign of very high pressure.
3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from theradiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.
However, note that water draining from
the air conditioning is normal if it has
been used.
CAUTION
When the engine is running, keep
hands and clothing away from the
moving fan and engine drive belts.
4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the en-gine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer
for assistance.
5. If there are no obvious leaks, check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add
coolant to the reservoir while the en-
gine is running. Fill it about half full.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure.
6. After the engine coolant temperaturehas cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If neces-
sary, bring it up to half full again. Seri-
ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the
system. You s hould have it checked as
soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.
If your vehicle overheats

1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid
stopping on the center divider of
a highway. Park on a level spot
with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P”.
4. Have everyone get out of the ve- hicle on the side away from traffic.
5. Read the following instructions thoroughly.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving with a
deflated tire. Driving even a
short distance can damage a
tire and wheel beyond repair.
COMPACT SPARE TIRE
The compact spare tire is designed
for temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified
by the distinctive wording
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded
into the side wall of the tire.
The compact spare tire saves space
in your luggage compartment, and its
lighter weight helps to improve fuel
economy and permits easier installa-
tion in case of a flat tire. The compact spare tire can be used
many times, if necessary. It has tread
life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de-
pending on road conditions and your
driving habits. When tread wear indi-
cators appear on the tire, replace the
tire.
See also the tire information on page
487 in Section 7−
2 for details on the
tread wear indicators and other ser-
vice information.CAUTION
 The compact spare tire was de-
signed especially for your To-
yota. Do not use it on any other
vehicle.
 Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tire at the same
time.
 The pressure for the compact
spare tire must be 420 kPa (4.2
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 60 psi).
 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph) when driving with the
compact spare tire.
If you have a flat tire—

2007 SIENNA from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM45437U)
Replace the compact spare tire
with the standard tire as soon
as possible.
 Avoid sudden a cceleration,
sudden d eceleration and sharp
turns with the compact spare
tire.
NOTICE
Your ground clearance is re-
duced when the compact spare
tire is installed so avoid driving
over obstacles and drive slowly
on rough, unpaved roads and
speed bumps. Also, do not at-
tempt to go through an auto-
matic car wash as the vehicle
may get caught, resulting in
damage.
Some vehicles are equipped with
runflat (RFT) tires. The runflat
tire allows you to continue driving
for up to 160 km (100 miles) at a
speed below 90 km/h (55 mph)
even if any tire goes flat. However,
in some conditions (such as high
temperatures), you could not con-
tinue driving for up to 160 km (100
miles).
A spare tire is not provided on ve-
hicles with runflat tires. When the tire goes flat or when the
tire pressure is below 100 kPa (1.0
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 15 psi), the tire
must be replaced. If you are not
sure, consult your Toyota dealer.
Do not use the repaired tire.
There is an “RFT” or “DSST” mark on
the sidewall of the run −flat tire.
For details about the run −flat tire, see
“Run −flat tires” on page 492 in Sec-
tion 7 −2.

CAUTION
As the runflat tire allows you to
continue driving if any tire goes
flat, the tire performance is not
the same as normal condition. If
the runflat tire goes flat, take
your vehicle to the nearest Toyo-
ta dealer or authorized tire dealer
as soon as possible, observing
the following instructions:
Decelerate as soon as possible
to the lowest appropriate
speed that conditions permit.
Do not drive for longer than
160 km (100 miles) or over 90
km/h (55 mph).
 Avoid abrupt steering wheel
maneuvering and braking. If
t h e veh i cl e ti res det eri o rat e,
you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes,
causing death or serious inju-
ry.
Do not replace or repair the tire
by yourself. When the tires
must be replaced or repaired,
consult your Toyota dealer or
authorized tire dealer.NOTICE
 Take due care not to go over
a curb stone and be careful
of holes in the road because
deflated tire pressure affects
tire cushion performance.
The wheels, tires, body, sus-
pension and other compo-
nents could be damaged.
 Your ground clearance is re-
duced if the runflat tire
goes flat, so avoid driving
over obstacles and drive
slowly on rough, unp aved
roads and speed bumps.
Also, do not attempt to go
through an automatic car
wash as the vehicle may get
caught, resulting in damage.

To store the jack, turn the jack joint
until the jack base fits securely with
the vehicle body.
This prevents the jack from flying for-
ward during a collision or sudden
stop.To remove the wheel nut wrench, first
disengage the upper part of the
wrench from the holding bracket and
remove it.
When storing the wheel nut wrench,
make sure the wr ench is securely
held.To remove the spare tire:
1. Slide the front passenger ’s seat to the front −most lock position and
the right side second seat to the
rear −most lock position so they
will not interfere with the wheel nut
wrench.
Open the right side sliding door
and you will find the flap on the
floor. Pull back the flap to find the
spare tire clamp bolt.

2. Loosen the spare tire clamp boltby turning it counterclockwise with
the wheel nut wrench.3. After the tire is lowered completelyto the ground, remove the holding
bracket.
When storing the spare tire, put it in
place with the outer side of the wheel
facing up. Then secure the tire, taking
care that the tire goes straight up
without catching on any other part, to
prevent it from flying forward during
a collision or sudden braking.
As the tire carrier is designed for the
compact spare tire, the standard tire
cannot be stored there.
CAUTION
Do not remove the spare tire
when jacking up the vehicle. The
tire carrier and the spare tire may
interfere with the jack and cause
a serious accident.
NOTICE
 To secure spare tire clamp
bolt:
Do not use impact wrench,
but wheel nut wrench.
 After taking out or stowing
the spare tire, make sure to
secure the tire carrier by
tightening the clamp bolt to
prevent the holding bracket
from hitting the under body
of the vehicle during driving.
 Do not store the flat spare
tire with the tire carrier so it
may not be held securely.
