CAUTION
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 han-
dling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting 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 winter 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.
●
When initializing the tire pressure warning system
■
Do not push the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pres-
sure warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
