Run−Flat Tires - Toyota 2004 Sienna Owner's Manual

When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres-
sure, improper wheel alignment, out−
of−balance wheels, or severe braking.
CAUTION
Do not include a compact spare
tire when rotating the tires. It is
designed for temporary use only.
Initial adjustment of the tire pres-
sure warning system is necessary
after you have rotated your tires.
See "Tire pressure warning sys-
tem" on page 188 in Section 1−6.

Run−flat tires
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.
There is an "RFT" or "DSST" mark on
the sidewall of the run−flat tire.
If you cannot distinguish between the
standard tire and run−flat tire, consult
your Toyota dealer.
The tire warranty book provides de-
tailed information on the run−flat tires.
For details, see the tire warranty
book.
CAUTION
D Do
not use non−genuine
wheels, as this may cause dan-
gerous handling characteris-
tics resulting in loss of control.
D Do not use the run−flat tires
equipped on your vehicle on
another model. These tires are
especially for this model.
D Do not mix run−flat tires with
standard tires.
