2015 Toyota Land Cruiser Owners Manual - Wheels

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.

Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of handling control.

•  Wheel selection

   

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:

•  Wheels of different sizes or types
•  Used wheels
•  Bent wheels that have been straightened

•  Aluminum wheel precautions

   

•  Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels.
•  When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
•  Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains.
• Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

• When replacing wheels

   

The wheels of your Toyota are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.

Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed.

Air conditioning filter

The air conditioning filter must be cleaned or changed regularly to maintain air conditioning efficiency.

•  Removal method

   

STEP 1

Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch IGNITION ON mode and switch to recirculated air mode, then turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.

STEP 2

Open the glove box and remove the separate tray.

Remove the filter cover.

• Cleaning method

   

If the filter is dirty, clean by blowing compressed air through the filter from the downward side.

Hold the air gun 2 in. (5 cm) from the filter and blow for approximately 2 minutes at 72 psi (500 kPa, 5.0 kgf/cm2 or bar).

If it is not available, have the filter cleaned by your Toyota dealer.

• Replacement method

   

Remove the air conditioning filter and replace it with a new one.

The “↑UP” marks shown on the filter should be pointing up.

• Checking interval

   

Inspect, clean and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance schedule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, more frequent cleaning or early replacement may be required. (For scheduled maintenance information, read the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide”, “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)

• If air flow from the vents decreases dramatically

   

The filter may be clogged. Check the filter and replace if necessary.
