Maintenance and care
driving, it may not be fully raised.
Lower the spare tire to the ground
and make sure that the hoist assem-
bly is perpendicular to the wheel
opening.
2 Raise the tire slowly and steadily
until a click is heard and the jack
handle skips.
If the spare tire cannot be lowered, the
wire cable may be severed. Have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■ If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow
tires is lost.
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
Front
2WD models:
To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire
rotation is carried out approximately
every 10000 km (6000 miles).
AWD models:
To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire
rotation is carried out approximately
every 5000 km (3000 miles).
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
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 result-
ing in death or serious injury.
● Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably
different treadwear.
● Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended by Toyota.
● 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.
NOTICE
■ 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.
