When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following before recharging:
WARNING
Batteries contain poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid and may produce hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk of death or serious injury, take the following precautions while working on or near battery:
Always charge the battery in an open area. Do not charge the battery in a garage or closed room where there is insufficient ventilation.
Only perform a slow charge (5 A or less). The battery may explode if charged at a quicker rate.
Flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immedi- ate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while traveling to the nearest medical facility.
Wash the affected area thoroughly. If you feel pain or burning, get medical attention immediately.
It can soak through clothing on to your skin. Immediately take off the cloth- ing and follow the procedure above if necessary.
Drink a large quantity of water or milk. Get emergency medical attention immediately.
situations:
Tires
Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. Also check the tires for uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and pressure if not rotated.
New tread Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is shown by a “TWI” or “” mark, etc., molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
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 pressure warning system after tire rotation.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire infla- tion pressure before serious problems arise.
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be initialized.
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. (P. 606)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire infla- tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on this pressure level.
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Press and hold the tire pres- sure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warn- ing light blinks 3 times.
A message is displayed on the multi-information display. Also, “--” is displayed for inflation pressure of each tire on the multi-information display while the tire pressure warning sys- tem determines the position.
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.
Initialization may take longer than approximately 30 minutes in cer- tain situations, such as when the vehicle is stopped for a long time at traffic lights, etc. (P. 503)
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID codes.
To register the ID codes, perform the following procedure:
Press the tire pressure warn- ing reset switch 3 times until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly 3 times.
Then a message will be dis- played on multi-information display. When registration is being performed, the tire pres- sure warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute then illuminate and “--” will be dis- played for the inflation pres- sure of each tire on the multi- information display.
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.
Registration is complete when the tire pressure warning light turns off and the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-information display.
Registration may take longer than approximately 30 minutes in certain situations, such as when the vehicle is stopped for a long time at traffic lights, etc. (P. 503)
After registering the ID codes, make sure to initialize the tire pressure warning system. (P. 496)
Tires should be replaced if:
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
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. After driv- ing for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunction.
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.
Check that the number given by dividing the maximum load by 1.10 of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. For the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire. (P. 613)
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When install- ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use year-round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance com- pared with summer tires in highway driving.
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con- struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (P. 311)
Initialize the system with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to the speci- fied level.
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
If tire position information is not correctly displayed due to the radio wave conditions, the display may be corrected by driving and changing the radio wave conditions.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire inflation pressure adjustment.
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accor- dance with the conditions under which it was initialized. For this reason, the system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
initialization will be completed in approximately 10 to 30 minutes. If initial- ization is not complete after driving approximately 10 to 30 minutes, con- tinue driving for a while.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is not displayed after driving for approximately 1 hour, perform the following procedure.
However, in the following situations, the tire inflation pressure will not be recorded and the system will not operate properly. Perform initialization again.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not displayed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
Do not operate the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure 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.
NOTICE
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 your Toyota dealer 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. 496)
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot- holes.
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.
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
Tire inflation pressure
The recommended cold tire infla- tion pressure and tire size are dis- played on the tire and loading information label. (P. 606)
1 Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge
Remove the tire valve cap.
Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve. Read the pressure using the gauge gradations.
If the tire inflation pressure is not at the recommended level, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to deflate.
After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check for leakage.
Put the tire valve cap back on.
You should check tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appear- ance.
Wheels
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans- mitters must be installed. (P. 496)
Align the notch of the wheel and orna- ment.
WARNING
Tapered portion
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
