WARNING
When replacing wheels
■
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in
●
the Owner's Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a
●
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri-
ous injury.

When installing the wheel nuts

■
Be sure to install the wheel nuts with
●
the tapered ends facing inward.
Installing the nuts with the tapered
ends facing outward can cause the
wheel to break and eventually cause
the wheel to come off while driving,
which could lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
●
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an
accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Use of defective wheels prohibited

■
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing
an accident.
NOTICE

Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

■
Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warn-
●
ing valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your
Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at your
Toyota dealer.
Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.
●
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly
with non-genuine wheels.
