Page 426 Tire rotation Rotate the tires in the order shown. To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the Front same interval as tire inspection. Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure warning system after tire rotation.
Page 427 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ◆ Initializing the tire pressure warning system The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol- ■ lowing circumstances: ● When rotating the tires. ● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang- ing tire size.
Page 428 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approxi- mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min- utes. Initialization is complete when the position of each tire is determined and the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-infor- mation display.
Page 429 ● A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. ■ When replacing the tires and wheels If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not reg- istered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly.
