NOTICE
■ 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 195/50R19 tires)
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 infla-
tion pressure. If tires are under-
inflated, they may be damaged
more severely.
● Avoid potholes, uneven pave-
ment, curbs and other road haz-
ards. Failure to do so may lead
to severe tire and wheel dam-
age.
■ If tire inflation pressure of
each tire becomes low while
driving
Do not continue driving, or your
tires and/or wheels may be
ruined.
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
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
tion.
A Front
■ When rotating the tires
Make sure that the power switch is
off. If the tires are rotated while the
power switch is in ON, the tire posi-
tion information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either
turn the power switch to off and then
to ON, or initialize the system after
checking that the tire pressure is
properly adjusted.
Tire pressure warning
system
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a 2-
type warning system.
 When "Adjust Pressure" is
displayed (Normal Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low due to natural air
leakage or outside temperature.
