7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire
rotation is carried out approximately
every 10000 km (6000 miles).
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation. (vehi-
cles with the tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious prob-
lems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light.

only: The tire pressure
detected by the tire pressure
warning system can be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-
information display.
● Do not mix differently constructed
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 previously.
■ 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 addi-
tion, driving on rough roads may
cause damage to the tires them-
selves, as well as the vehicle’s
wheels and body.
■ If tire inflation pressure of each
tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires
and/or wheels may be ruined.
