Vehicle uprightness
Does the vehicle lean to one side or the other? If
so, check for a tire puncture or a problem with
the undercarriage.
Beneath the vehicle
Check for any oil or water leakage on the
ground or floor where the vehicle was parked.
Check for loose parts or damage.
If any unusual condition is found, have the vehi-
cle repaired.
Tire inspection
Tire inflation pressure
1. Use a tire pressure gauge and measure the
inflation pressure. Adjust it to the proper
level.
• See the service data section for the proper
inflation pressure.
• Do not raise the pressure beyond the proper
level.
2. After the adjustment, check if air is not
leaking from the valve.
Damage, crack and wear of tires and rims
Check the tires for damage and wear, and the
rims for bending. If the tires are damaged, or
there is a marked difference in the wearing of
tires between the front and rear or between the
left and right is perceived, or bent rims are
found, ask a Toyota dealer for inspection.
Hub nut inspection
Check the tightness of the hub nuts.
Avoid uneven torque and tighten all of the nuts
uniformly. Even a slightly loose nut is danger-
ous. Refer to service data for proper torque.
Lamp inspection
Are the filaments intact? Is there any lens dam-
age?
Always keep the lenses clean to insure proper
forward vision.
