—Run−flat tires information
Some vehicles are equipped with
run−flat (RFT) tires. The run−flat
tire allows you to continue driving
for up to 160 km (100 miles) at a
speed below 90 km/h (55 mph)
even if any tire goes flat. However,
in some conditions (such as high
temperatures), you could not con-
tinue driving for up to 160 km (100
miles).
When the tire goes flat or when the
tire pressure is below 100 kPa (1.0
2
kgf/cm or bar, 15 psi), the tire
must be replaced. If you are not
sure, consult your Toyota dealer.
Do not use the repaired tire.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
There is an "RFT" or "DSST" mark on
the sidewall of the run−flat tire.
For details about the run−flat tire, see
"Run−flat tires" on page 469 in Sec-
tion 7−2.
Vehicles with compact spare tire—
When you replace the tire, see
"—Compact spare tire" through "—Af-
ter changing wheels", pages 413
through 425 in this Section.
