This data includes, for example:
• Status messages of the vehicle
and its individual components,
for example wheel rotation
speed, wheel speed, decelera-
tion, lateral acceleration, fas-
tened seat belt indicator.
• Ambient conditions, for example
temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is only processed within
the vehicle itself and is usually tran-
sient. The data is not saved after
the vehicle is switched off.
Electronic parts, for example con-
trol devices and vehicle keys, con-
tain components for saving
technical information. Information
on vehicle condition, component
load, maintenance requirements,
events or errors can be saved tem-
porarily or permanently.
This information generally docu-
ments the condition of a compo-
nent, a module, a system or its
environment, for example:
• Operating states of system com-
ponents, for example, fill levels,
tyre inflation pressure, battery
status.
• Malfunctions and faults of impor-
tant system components, for
example, lights and brakes.
• Responses of the vehicle to par-
ticular driving situations, for
example triggering of an airbag,
activation of the drive stability
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-damag-ing events.
The data is required so that the
control units can perform their func-
tions. It is also used for detecting
and rectifying malfunctions, and
helps the vehicle manufacturer to
optimise vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is transient
and is only processed within the
vehicle itself. Only a small propor-
tion of the data is stored in event or
error memories in response to spe-
cific circumstances.
When service work is being carried
out, for example repairs, service
operations, warranty work and
quality assurance measures, this
technical information can be read
out from the vehicle together with
the vehicle identification number.
Any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer can read out the
information. The legally required
on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket
in the vehicle is used to read out
the data.
The data is collected, processed
and used by the relevant organisa-
tions in the service network. The
data documents the technical con-
ditions of the vehicle and helps in
locating errors, complying with war-
ranty obligations and improving
quality.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has
product monitoring obligations to
meet in line with product liability

WARNING
Unsuitable containers placed in the
cupholders may damage the cuphold-
ers or be flung into the interior, for
example in the event of an accident or
during braking or evasive manoeu-
vres. Spilt liquids can distract the
driver from the road and lead to an
accident. Hot beverages may damage
the cupholders or cause scalding.
There is a danger of injury or damage
to property. Do not force objects into
the cupholder. Use lightweight, seala-
ble containers that are shatterproof.

WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can make
the tyres to overheat, causing internal
damage and a sudden loss of tyre
inflation pressure. Handling charac-
teristics can be negatively influenced,
for example reduced directional sta-
bility, longer braking distance and
modified steering characteristics.
There is a danger of accidents.
Please comply with the permitted load

DRIVING HINTS
Add-on parts on the vehicle inter-
fere with its aerodynamic perfor-
mance and increase fuel
consumption.
Open windows increase drag and
consequently fuel consumption.
Tyres can have differing effects on
consumption. For example, con-
sumption can be affected by tyre
size.
Check and, if necessary, correct the
tyre inflation pressures at least
twice a month and before setting off
on a longer journey.
Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
consequently fuel consumption and
tyre wear.
Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle at a standstill; it is prefera-
ble to set off straight away, driving
at moderate engine speeds.This brings the cold engine up to
operating temperature as quickly as
possible.
Anticipating the road situation and
adopting a smooth driving style will
reduce fuel consumption.
Avoid accelerating and braking
unnecessarily.
Keep an appropriate distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Driving at low engine speeds
reduces fuel consumption and
wear.
Pay attention to the shift point indi-
cator, see page 160, in the vehicle,
if fitted.
When approaching a red traffic
light, take your foot off the accelera-
tor and allow the vehicle to roll.
On downward stretches, take your
foot off the accelerator and allow

The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be
found, then the tyre inflation pres-

WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and
sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a
danger of accidents. Check the tyre

for the respective load conditions
will apply, in accordance with the
vehicle's actual load condition.
Example: for a partially loaded
vehicle, the optimum tyre inflation
pressure is the one stated for a par-
tially loaded vehicle.
More information regarding wheels
and tyres can be obtained from any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The current tire pressure of each
installed wheel can be displayed on
the control display.
To ensure that they are displayed
correctly, the tyre sizes must be
stored in the system and must have
been set, see page 290, for the
mounted tyres.
The current tyre inflation pressure
value is shown on each tyre.Tyres heat up while driving. The
tyre inflation pressure increases
with the temperature of the tyre.
Tyres have a natural, uniform loss
of tyre inflation pressure.
Inflating devices can display a pres-
sure that may be up to 0.1 bar too
low.
The tyre inflation pressure inscrip-
tions on the tyre inflation pressure
sign on the door pillar only relate to
cold tyres or tyres at the same tem-
perature as the ambient tempera-
ture.
Only check the tyre inflation pres-
sures when the tyres are cold, i.e.:
• A driving distance of max. 2 km,
1.25 miles has not been
exceeded.
• If the vehicle has not moved
again for at least 2 hours after a
journey.
Regularly check the tyre inflation
pressure of the emergency wheel in
the boot and correct the pressure if
necessary.

The positions of the wear displays
are identified on the tyre's side wall
by TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Inspect tyres regularly for damage,
the presence of foreign bodies and
wear.
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate
tyre damage or other faults:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tyre or running noises.
• Unusual vehicle response, such
as pronounced pulling to the left
or right.
Damage can be caused by the fol-
lowing situations, for example:
• Driving over kerbs.
• Road damage.
• Tyre inflation pressure insuffi-
cient.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tyre storage.
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth,
change tyres after 6 years at the
latest.
The date of manufacture of the tyre
is indicated on the tyre sidewall.
Tyre damage
General
Safety notes
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre
inflation pressure may be reduced,
which in turn could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. If you suspect tyre
damage while you are driving, imme-
diately reduce speed and bring the
vehicle to a stop. Have the wheels
and tyres checked. To do so, carefully
drive to any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer. If necessary, have
the vehicle towed or transported
there. Do not repair damaged tyres,
but have them replaced instead.
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by run-
ning over obstacles, for example
kerbs or road damage, at high speed.
Larger wheels have a smaller tyre
cross-section. The smaller the tyre
cross-section, the higher the risk of
tyre damage. There is a danger of
accidents and damage to property. If
possible, drive around obstacles or
drive over them slowly and carefully.

Due to the manufacturing process,
new tyres do not provide maximum
grip immediately.
Drive moderately for the first 300
km, 200 miles.
The manufacturer of your vehicle
advises against the use of
retreaded tyres.
Winter tyres are recommended if
driving in winter conditions.
Although so-called all-season tyres
with an M+S label have better win-
ter characteristics than summer
tyres, they do not normally match
the performance of winter tyres.
If winter tyres are fitted, observe
and do not exceed the respectively
permitted maximum speed.For your own safety, only use
run-flat tyres. There is no spare
wheel available in the event of a
breakdown. Additional information
is available from any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Swapping the front wheels with the
rear wheels or vice versa is not per-
mitted on vehicles with different tyre
or rim dimensions on the front and
rear axles.
Do not exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure indicated on the
tyre's side wall.
Store wheels and tyres in a cool,
dry and dark place when not in use.
Protect the tyres against contami-
nation from oil, grease and sol-
vents.
Do not leave tyres in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from the wheels or
tyres. New tyres
