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 5000 km (3000 miles).
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Front
■ When rotating the tires
Make sure that the power switch is OFF.
If the tires are rotated while the power
switch is in ON, the tire position informa-
tion will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
power switch to OFF and then to ON, or
initialize the system after checking that
the tire pressure is properly adjusted.
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.
The tire pressure warning system
of this vehicle adopts a 2-type
warning system
When “Adjust Pressure” is dis-
played (Normal Warning)
● 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.
● Vehicles with compact spare tire:
Do not tow if your vehicle has a
compact spare tire installed.
● Vehicles with emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit: Do not tow anything
if a tire that has been repaired using
the emergency tire puncture repair
kit is installed. The load on the tire
may cause unexpected damage to
the tire.
■ 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.
