Tyres

Replace or rotate tires in accordance with maintenance schedules and treadwear.

Checking tyres

Check if the treadwear indicators 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., moulded into the sidewall of each tire. Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing 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 cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage If you are not sure, consult 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

Generally, low-profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be reduced 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 drive 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, whichever 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

Tyre types

Summer tires 

Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance 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 installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

All season tires

are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use year-round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all-season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared 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, construction 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 studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels.

If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost

WARNING

• When inspecting or replacing tires Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
• Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, and that all 4 tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread pattern.
• Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
• Only use radial 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 previously.

NOTICE

Low profile tires

• Low-profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel when sustaining impact from the road surface. Therefore, pay attention to the following:
• Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may be damaged more severely.
• Avoid potholes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Failure to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
• If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
• Driving on rough roads Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes. These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.

Tire rotation

Rotate the tires in the order shown

Front

To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same interval as tire inspection.

Tire pressure warning system

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 detected by the tire pressure warning system can be displayed on the multi-information display
• If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is warned by a screen display and a warning light.

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 of daily vehicle checks.

Tire inflation pressure

• It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is turned to ON.
• It may also take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
• Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
• Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly
• In the following cases, the tire 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 specified level.
• 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.
• Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• When driving near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, airport, or another facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or another 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 conditions.
• 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 will change in accordance with driving conditions. For this reason, the system may give a warning even if the 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.

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 ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Toyota dealer

Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter 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.

NOTICE

• Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters, and tire valve caps
• When removing or fitting the wheels, tires, or the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled correctly.

NOTICE

• 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 tire 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 warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly.
• If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Toyota dealer or another qualified service shop as soon as possible.
• After use of liquid sealant, make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when repairing or replacing the tire.

Initializing the tire pressure warning system

• The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following circumstances:
• When rotating the tires.
• When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when changing traveling speed.
• When changing the tire size.
• 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

• Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off. Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
• Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level.
• The tire pressure warning system will operate based on this pressure level.
• Turn the engine switch to ON. 4 Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly 3 times. then turn the engine switch off.

If you press the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally

If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.

Initialization procedure

• Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pressure. Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire inflation pressure adjustment.
• If you have accidentally turned the engine switch off during initialization, it is not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization will restart automatically when the engine switch has been turned to ON for the next time.
• If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the tires are cold, and conduct initialization again.
• When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases, the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
• When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, tire pressure warning light does not blink 3 times.
• After carrying out the initialization procedure, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for 20 minutes.

WARNING
When initializing the tire pressure warning system Do not operate the tire pressure warning reset switch without first 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

Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code registered by your Toyota dealer.

Registering ID codes
The ID codes of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters for two sets of wheels can be registered. It is not necessary to register the ID codes when replacing normal tires with snow tires, if the ID codes for the wheels of both normal tires and snow tires are registered beforehand. In addition to the set of tire pressure warning system sensor ID codes initially registered to the vehicle, a second set of ID codes can be registered. A second set of tire pressure warning system sensor ID codes can be registered at your Toyota dealer. When 2 sets of ID codes have been registered, either ID code set can be selected.

Changing the ID code set

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch to ON.
2. Press the tire pressure warning reset switch 3 times within 3 seconds.
3. The tire pressure warning light will illuminate for 3 seconds and then blink 3 times.

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 inflation 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 tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.

• Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
• Reduced fuel economy
• Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
• Reduced tire life due to wear
• Reduced safety
• Damage to the drivetrain If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
• Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
• Always use a tire pressure gauge. It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appearance.
• It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving.
• Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.

WARNING
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance Keep your tires properly inflated. If the tires are not properly inflated, the following conditions may occur which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

• Excessive wear
• Uneven wear
• Poor handling
• Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
• Air leaking from between tire and wheel
• Wheel deformation and/or tire damage

Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards, expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)

NOTICE

When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a 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 your Toyota dealer. *: Conventionally referred to as offset. Toyota does not recommend using the following:

•  Wheels of different sizes or types
•  Used wheels
•  Bent wheels that have been straightened

When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed.

WARNING

• Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual maintenance instructions, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
• Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel that is designed for a tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.

When installing the wheel nuts

• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Use of defective wheels prohibited

• Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an accident.

NOTICE

DIY Toyota 86 service tips
