l
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.

Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
When initializing the tire pressure warning system
n
Do not push the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pres-
sure warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
