NOTICE
■
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valve and
transmitters and tire valve caps
●
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitters, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitters may be damaged if not handled correctly.
●
Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not
installed, water may enter the valves of the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters and the valves may become stuck.
●
When replacing tire valve caps, do not replace them with metal caps or
any tire valve caps other than specified, as they may become stuck.
■
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the
tire. (P. 481)
■
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 addition, driving on rough roads may cause
damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle's wheels and body.
■
Low profile tires (vehicles with 18-inch wheels)
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel
when sustaining impact from the road surface. Therefore, pay attention to
the following:
●
Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they
may be damaged more severely.
●
Avoid potholes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
■
If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
